Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR&R) is a vibrant and exciting 
field of human endeavour. KR&R techniques are key drivers of innovation in 
computer science, and they have led to significant advances in practical 
applications in a wide range of areas from Artificial Intelligence to 
Software Engineering.

Explicit representations of knowledge manipulated by reasoning engines are 
an integral and crucial component of intelligent systems. Semantic Web 
technologies, the design of software agents and Bio-Informatics 
technologies, in particular, provide significant challenges for KR&R.

KR2008 will be a forum for the exchange of new ideas, issues, and results 
among the community of researchers in the principles and practices of KR&R 
systems.
