Preliminary Call for Papers
KR2006
Tenth International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR2006) June 2 - 6, 2006 (Provisional) Lake District, United Kingdom Sponsored by KR Inc (www.kr.org) Submission deadline: November 7, 2005 http://www.kr.org/KR2006 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. We intend KR2006 to be a forum for the exchange of news, issues, and results among the community of researchers in the principles and practices of KR&R systems. We encourage papers presenting substantial new results in the principles of KR&R systems that clearly contribute to the formal foundations or show the applicability of the results to implemented or implementable systems. We also encourage "reports from the field'' of applications, experiments, developments, and tests. Such papers should be explicitly identified as reports from the field by the authors, to ensure appropriate reviewing, and must include a section on evaluation. KR2006 will be held immediately prior to ICAPS-06 in the Lake District of the U.K. Note that the dates of the conference are subject to change. Topics of interest include: * Exception tolerant and inconsistency-tolerant reasoning, Default logics, Conditional logics, Paraconsistent logics, Argumentation * Temporal reasoning, Spatial reasoning, Causal reasoning, Abduction, Explanations, Extrapolation, Model-based diagnosis * Reasoning about actions, Situation calculus, Action languages, Dynamic logic * Reasoning, planning, or decision making under uncertainty, Probabilistic and possibilistic approaches, Belief functions and imprecise probabilities * Representations of vagueness, Many-valued and fuzzy logics * Concept formation, Similarity-based reasoning * Information change, Belief revision, Update * Information fusion, Database fusion * Ontologies, Ontology engineering * Qualitative reasoning and decision theory, Preference modeling, Reasoning about preference, Reasoning about physical systems * Intelligent agents, Negotiation, Group decision making, Cooperation, Interaction, Game theory, Common knowledge, Cognitive robotics * Algebraic foundations of knowledge representations, Graphical representations, Modal logics and reasoning, Belief, Preference networks, Constraints * Knowledge representation languages, Description logics, Logic programming, Constraint logic programming, Inductive logic programming, Complexity analysis * Natural language processing, Learning, Discovering and acquiring knowledge, Belief networks, Summarization, Categorization * Applications of KR\&R, Knowledge-based scheduling, WWW querying languages, Information retrieval and web mining, Website selection and configuration, Electronic commerce and auctions * Philosophical foundations and psychological evidence Important Dates Electronic submission deadline: November 7, 2005 Notification of acceptance: January 14, 2006 Camera-ready papers due: March 3, 2006 KR2006 conference: June 2-6, 2006 (provisional) Paper Format The Program Committee will review extended abstracts rather than complete papers. Submissions must be at most twelve (12) pages, excluding the bibliography, with a maximum of 38 lines per page and an average of 75 characters per line (corresponding to the LaTeX article-style, 12pt). If you have a separate title page containing at most the title, author information, keywords and abstract, this will not be counted in the twelve page limit. Overlength submissions will be rejected without review.
