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Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished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. All submissions
should be electronically submitted via the link available on the JELIA 2012 web
page.
There are 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
