CALL FOR PAPERS
25th International Workshop on Description Logics (DL 2012)
Rome, Italy, June 7-10, 2012
Co-located with KR 2012, NMR 2012, AI*IA 2012
http://dl.kr.org/dl2012
The DL workshop is the major annual event of the description logic
research community. It is the forum at which those interested in
description logics, both from academia and industry, meet to discuss
ideas, share information and compare experiences.
The workshop will be held in the conference rooms of Sapienza
Università di Roma (Via Caserta 6, Rome), from June 7th to Jun e
10th, 2012.
In this year, DL workshop will share a joint session together with the
International Workshop on Non-Monotonic Reasoning (NMR 2012).
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission deadline: March 10, 2012
Notification of acceptance: April 22, 2012
Camera ready papers due: May 4, 2012
Workshop: June 7-10, 2012
WORKSHOP SCOPE
We invite contributions on all aspects of description logics,such as:
* foundations of description logics, including expressive power,
decidability and complexity of reasoning, novel inference problems,
and reasoning techniques for solving these problems;
* extensions of description logics, including, but not limited to,
closed-world and non-monotonic reasoning, defaults, epistemic
reasoning, temporal and spatial reasoning, procedural knowledge, and
query languages;
* integration of description logics with other formalisms, such as
object-oriented representation languages, database query languages,
constraint-based programming, logic programming, and rule-based
systems;
* use of description logics in applications or areas such as ontology
engineering, ontology languages, databases, semi-structured data,
document management, natural language, learning, planning, semantic
web, and grid computing;
* building systems based on description logics, with special emphasis on
optimization and implementation techniques; and
* tools that exploit description logic reasoning, such as ontology
editors, database schema design, query optimization, and data
integration tools.
