------------------------------------------------- Extended deadlines: Title and Abstract: January 15, 2013 Full paper: January 31, 2012 ------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Approximate Reasoning Special Issue on Weighted Logics for AI This special issue is a following-up of the ECAI-2012 Workshop on Weighted Logics for AI (WL4AI), http://www.iiia.csic.es/wl4ai/, held last August in Montpellier. Although primarily addressed to participants of the workshop, this call for papers is open to anyone interested willing to contribute in the topic of the isssue. Topic description: Logics provide a formal basis for the study and development of applications and systems in Artificial Intelligence. In the last decades there has been an explosion of logical formalisms capable of dealing with a variety of reasoning tasks that require an explicit representation of quantitative or qualitative weights associated with classical or modal logical formulas (in a form or another). The semantics of the weights refer to a large variety of intended meanings: belief degrees, preference degrees, truth degrees, trust degrees, etc. Examples of such weighted formalisms include probabilistic or possibilistic uncertainty logics, preference logics, fuzzy description logics, different forms of weighted or fuzzy logic programs under various semantics, weighted argumentation systems, logics handling inconsistency with weights, logics for graded BDI agents, logics of trust and reputation, logics for handling graded emotions, etc. The main focus of this special issue is on recent developments on the use of weighted logics in Artificial Intelligence, ranging from fully compositional systems, like systems of many-valued or fuzzy logic, to non-compositional ones as modal-like epistemic logics for reasoning about uncertainty, or even some combination of them. Any high quality paper on a weighted logic formalism in relation to any of the following topics (but not limited to) with an AI perspective is welcome: * argumentation systems * belief revision * description logic * graded BDI agents * graded emotions * graded truth * inconsistency handling * information fusion * logic programs * non monotonic reasoning * preference modeling * trust and reputation * uncertainty Authors are especially encouraged to discuss the intended semantics of the weights they use in their paper. Paper submission and review: All submitted manuscripts will be evaluated based on their originality, presentation, relevance and contribution to the field, as well as their suitability to the special issue and their overall quality. Manuscripts must describe original research which neither has been published nor is currently under review in other journals or conferences. Guest editors will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope of all submissions. (New) Paper submission deadlines: ------------------------------------------------- Title and Abstract: January 15, 2013 Full paper: January 31, 2012 ------------------------------------------------- Abstracts are to be sent by email to the guest editors ([email protected], [email protected]).
