------------------------
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR) is an exciting, well-established
field of research. In KRR a fundamental assumption is that an agent's
knowledge is explicitly represented in a declarative form, suitable for
processing by dedicated reasoning engines. This assumption, that much of
what an agent deals with is knowledge-based, is common in many modern
intelligent systems. Consequently, KRR has contributed to the theory and
practice of various areas in AI, such as automated planning, natural language
understanding, among others, as well as to fields beyond AI, including
databases, verification, and software engineering. In recent years KRR has
contributed to new and emerging fields including the semantic web,
computational biology, and the development of software agents.
The KR conference series is the leading forum for timely in-depth presentation
of progress in the theory and principles underlying the representation and
computational management of knowledge. Contrary to previous editions, KR 2018
will also feature an open call for workshop and tutorial proposals. The
deadline for submissions is 21 February 2018. Workshops and
tutorials will precede the KR technical program and will run on 27-29 October
2018. Please check the KR 2018 website for further information and updates.
We solicit papers presenting novel results on the principles of KRR that
clearly contribute to the formal foundations of relevant problems or show the
applicability of results to implemented or implementable systems. We also
welcome papers from other areas that show clear use of, or contributions to,
the principles or practice of KRR. We also encourage "reports from the field"
of applications, experiments, developments, and tests.
Papers must be submitted in AAAI style and PDF format. We invite two kinds of
submissions:
* full papers of up to 9 pages including abstract, figures, and appendices
(if any) but excluding references and acknowledgements, which may take up
to one additional page; submission of additional material (e.g. proofs) as
separate documents is allowed, but this material should not form an
integral part of the submission and will only be consulted at the
discretion of reviewers, PC members and (area and program) chairs, as
appropriate;
* short papers describing applications, systems and/or demos, of up to 4
pages including abstract, figures, and appendices (if any) but excluding
references and acknowledgements, which may take up to one additional page.
