================= 3rd CALL FOR PAPERS - TIME 2020 =============

27th International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning
Bozen-Bolzano (Italy), 23th-25th September 2020
https://time2020.inf.unibz.it/

Co-Located with the Bolzano Summer of Knowledge 2020
https://summerofknowledge.inf.unibz.it/

====================================================

Foremost, the TIME 2020 organizing committee hopes you are all in good health!

We announce that TIME 2020, co-located with BOSK 2020, will allow for virtual attendance. Thus, the paper submission and the selection process will run just as expected, and physical participation in the symposium will not be a prerequisite for publication. Whether the symposium will allow also a physical attendance will be decided in the coming weeks together with the BOSK 2020 organizers. Reduced registration fees will be allowed for virtual participants. We thuswarmly invite you all again to submit your papers to TIME 2020.

STAY SAFE!

Aims & Scope
------------
Since 1994, the TIME International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning aims to bring together researchers in the area of temporal reasoning in Computer Science. TIME 2020 encompasses three tracks, but has a single program committee. The conference will be organized as a combination of technical paper presentations, keynote talks, and tutorials.

Tracks
------
- Time in Artificial Intelligence
- Temporal Databases
- Temporal Logic and Reasoning

Following a long-standing tradition, submission topics include (but are no limited to):

- Temporal aspects of agent and policy-based systems
- Spatial and temporal reasoning- Time in natural language processing
- Spatio-temporal knowledge representation systems
- Reasoning about actions and change
- Planning and planning languages
- Ontologies of time and space-time
- Belief and uncertainty in temporal knowledge
- Temporal learning and discovery
- Temporal data models and query languages
- Temporal query processing and indexing
- Temporal data mining
- Time series data management
- Stream data management
- Spatio-temporal data management, including moving objects
- Data currency and expiration
- Indeterminate and imprecise temporal data
- Temporal constraints
- Specification and verification of systems
- Verification of web applications
- Synthesis and execution
- Model-checking algorithms and implementations
- Verification of infinite-state systems
- Reasoning about transition systems
- Other aspects of temporal architectures

Submission & Publication
----------------------------

TIME 2020 accepts submissions in PDF format, not longer than 12 pages excluding references and appendix. The appendix is limited to 5 pages, and the reviewers may or may not take it into account for their recommendation. Submissions must be formatted following the LIPIcs instructions (https://submission.dagstuhl.de/documentation/authors), and preferably redacted in LaTex. Submissions are managed by EasyChair:

https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=time2020.

TIME policy is single-blind, so the names of the authors should not be hidden in the submitted draft. Members of the program committee, excluding the co-chairs, are allowed to submit papers. Submitted papers will be refereed for quality, correctness, originality, and relevance to the conference.

Submissions to TIME 2020 must be original, and parallel submissions of the same material to other conferences or journals are not allowed. Accepted papers will be presented at the symposium and included in the proceedings, which will be published by LIPIcs-Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/). This is a series of high-quality peer-reviewed conference proceedings and published according to the principle of OpenAccess. At least one author of each accepted paper must register at the conference and present the paper.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their contribution to a special issue of a high-quality journal yet to be decided.
