Call for Papers

Aim and Scope

The JELIA conference series is the main European forum devoted to logics in Artificial Intelligence (AI). As the latest edition of this biannual series, JELIA 2008 aims at bringing together researchers interested in all aspects of logics in AI, including their theory, applications of both theoretical and practical nature, and systems.

As its predecessors, JELIA 2008 strives to foster links and facilitate cross-fertilisation of ideas between researchers from various disciplines, between researchers from academia and industry, and between theoreticians and practitioners. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research in all areas related to the use of logics in AI. A non-exhaustive list of topics of interest includes:

• Reasoning including deduction, abduction and induction
• Non-monotonic, uncertain, probabilistic reasoning
• Reasoning about situations, actions, and causality
• Belief change, including revision, update, and merging
• Knowledge representation and reasoning
• Classical as well as non-classical logics, including modal, temporal, and spatial logics
• Fuzzy logic
• Description logics
• Logic-based ontology languages
• Theorem proving
• Logic and Constraint Programming
• Answer Set Programming
• Computational complexity and expressiveness of logic-based systems
• Logic-based applications to the Semantic Web
• Logic-based planning and diagnosis
• Logics and multi-agent systems
• Logics in machine learning
• Other applications of logic

Paper Submission

We welcome and encourage the submission of high quality, original papers, which are not simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. Proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes on Artificial Intelligence series. Papers must be written in English, formatted according to the Springer LNCS style, not exceed 13 pages including figures, references, etc. and should contain original research in sufficient detail to assess the merits and relevance of the contribution. Please note that we will need the LaTeX source files of all accepted papers.

The submitting of papers will be possible from May 19 to June 2.
