CALL FOR PAPERS *** KR 2016 *** 15th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Cape Town, South Africa 25-29 April 2016 http://kr.org/KR2016/ Co-located with DL 2016 [http://www.dl.kr.org] and NMR 2016 [http://www.kr.org/NMR/] KR 2016 IMPORTANT DATES ----------------------- * Submission of title and abstract: 21 November 2015 * Paper submission deadline: 28 November 2015 * Notification of acceptance: 21 January 2016 * Camera-ready papers due: 19 February 2016 * Conference: 25-29 April 2016 ------------------------ 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 and natural language understanding, among others, as well as to fields beyond AI, including databases, software engineering, 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. 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 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. 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. TOPICS ------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Argumentation * Belief change: revision and update, belief merging, etc. * Commonsense reasoning * Contextual reasoning * Description logics * Diagnosis, abduction, explanation * Inconsistency- and exception- tolerant reasoning, paraconsistent logics * KR and autonomous agents: multi-agent systems, cognitive robotics, agent models * KR and data management, data analytics * KR and decision making, game theory, social choice * KR and machine learning, inductive logic programming, knowledge discovery and acquisition * KR and natural language processing * KR and the Web, Semantic Web * Logic programming, answer set programming, constraint logic programming * Nonmonotonic logics, default logics, conditional logics * Ontology formalisms and models * Philosophical foundations of KR * Preferences: modeling and representation, preference-based reasoning * Reasoning about action and change: action languages, situation calculus, causality * Reasoning about knowledge and belief, dynamic epistemic logic, epistemic and doxastic logics * Reasoning systems and solvers, knowledge compilation * Spatial reasoning and temporal reasoning, qualitative reasoning * Uncertainty, representations of vagueness, many-valued and fuzzy logics SUBMISSION INFORMATION Submissions must be original, and should not have been previously published, accepted for publication, or currently be under review. Authors may not submit their paper elsewhere during the KR 2016 reviewing period. These considerations apply only to journals and conferences, and not to workshops and forums with a limited audience and without archival proceedings. In case of doubt, please contact the Program Chairs. Papers must be submitted in AAAI style and PDF format. The maximum length of a submission is 9 pages including abstract, figures, and appendices (if any) but excluding references. Reviewing will be non-blind. AAAI author instructions: http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php AAAI author kit: http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Templates/AuthorKit.zip The conference proceedings will be published by AAAI Press.
