JELTA 2012: Logics in Artificial Intelligence

26-28 Sep 2012
Toulouse, France

JELIA 2012 CALL FOR PAPERS
==========================

12th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence - Toulouse, 
France, September 26-28, 2012
http://www.irit.fr/jelia2012

Logics provide a formal basis and key descriptive notation for the study and 
development of applications and systems in Artificial Intelligence (AI). With 
the depth and maturity of formalisms, methodologies, and systems today, such 
logics are increasingly important. The European Conference on Logics in 
Artificial Intelligence (or Journees Europeennes sur la Logique en Intelligence 
Artificielle --- JELIA) began back in 1988, as a workshop, in response to the 
need for a European forum for the discussion of emerging work in this field. 
Since then, JELIA has been organized biennially, with English as the official 
language, and with proceedings published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in 
Artificial Intelligence series. In 2012 the conference is organized in 
Toulouse, France. The increasing interest in this forum, its international 
level with growing participation from researchers outside Europe, and the 
overall technical quality, has turned JELIA into a major forum for the 
discussion of logic-based approaches to AI.

Aims and Scope
==============
The aim of JELIA 2012 is to bring together active researchers interested in all 
aspects concerning the use of logics in Artificial Intelligence to discuss 
current research, results, problems, and applications of both theoretical and 
practical nature. JELIA strives to foster links and facilitate 
cross-fertilization of ideas among researchers from various disciplines, among 
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Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished 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 Artificial Intelligence 
including:

-- Abductive and inductive reasoning
-- Answer set programming
-- Applications of logic-based AI systems
-- Argumentation systems
-- Automated reasoning including satisfiability checking and its extensions
-- Computational complexity and expressiveness
-- Deontic logic and normative systems
-- Description logics and other logical approaches to semantic web and 
ontologies
-- Knowledge representation, reasoning, and compilation
-- Logic programming and constraint programming
-- Logics for uncertain and probabilistic reasoning
-- Logics in machine learning
-- Logics in multi-agent systems, games, and social choice
-- Non-classical logics, such as modal, temporal, epistemic, dynamic, spatial, 
paraconsistent, and hybrid logics
-- Planning and diagnosis based on logic
-- Preferences
-- Reasoning about actions and causality
-- Updates, belief revision and nonmonotonic reasoning

Paper Submission
================
Proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes on 
Artificial Intelligence series. Papers should be written in English, and should 
be formatted according to the standard Springer LNCS style.

There will be two categories for submissions:

A. Regular papers
    Submissions should not exceed 13 pages including figures, references, etc., 
and should contain original research, and sufficient detail to assess the 
merits and relevance of the contribution. Submissions must not have been 
previously published or be simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere.

B. System descriptions
    Submissions should not exceed 4 pages, and should describe an implemented 
system and its application area(s). A demonstration is expected to accompany a 
system presentation. Papers describing systems that have already been presented 
in JELIA before will be accepted only if significant and clear enhancements to 
the system are reported and implemented.

Important Dates
===============
May 18: Abstract submission
May 23: Paper submission
June 29: Notification of acceptance
July 15: Final version
