Call for Papers
8th European Conference on
Logics in Artificial Intelligence
Jelia'02
Cosenza, Italy, September 23-26, 2002
http://www.unical.it/jelia/
The European Conference on Logics in AI provides a major biennial forum
for the discussion of logic-oriented approaches to artificial intelligence.
Following previous meetings in France (1988), The Netherlands (1990),
Germany (1992), England (1994), Portugal (1996), Germany (1998) and Spain
(2000) the eighth conference will be held in Cosenza, Italy, from 23 to 26
September 2002.
Aim and scope
The aim is to bring together active researchers interested in all aspects
concerning the use of logics in artificial intelligence to discuss current
research, results, and problems and applications of both a theoretical
and practical nature. Moreover, Jelia strives to foster links and facilitate
cross-fertilisation of ideas among researchers from various disciplines;
among researchers from academia, industry and government; and between
theoreticians and practitioners.
Topics
Papers are sought in areas related to the use of logics in AI including
(but are not limited to) the following topics:
Abduction
Active and Deductive systems
Applications of logic-based systems
Automated reasoning
Belief revision and updates
Common-sense reasoning
Computational complexity in AI
Constraint satisfaction
Hybrid reasoning systems
Inductive reasoning and data mining
Description logics
Logic databases
Knowledge representation
Submission
Papers must not exceed thirteen (13) pages including title page, references
and figures, and must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS/LNAI authors'
instructions (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
Paper submission is electronic via the conference home
page http://www.unical.it/jelia/.
Papers must be written in English and present original research. One author
of each accepted paper will be expected to present it at the conference.
Publication
As in the past, the proceedings of JELIA'02 will be published by Springer
in the LNCS/LNAI series.
Furthermore, a special issue of a journal collecting extended versions of
selected papers presented at the conference is planned.
