Thematic Issue on Developments on Logic-based Methods for Intelligent Systems

http://www.tecmf.inf.puc-rio.br/SIComputacionSistemas
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


OVERVIEW AND SCOPE

Nowadays, logic-based methods are playing an important role on the new
generation of intelligent systems. Formal methods for capturing different sort
of data are a premier requirement for implementing intelligent systems in
different real applications, e.g., medical diagnosis, provision of services in
smart-environments, etc. In this setting, logic-based theories have been shown
to be sound theories for modelling and implementing intelligent systems.

This thematic issue invites contributions from researchers who share a
common interest in logic-based methods such as computational logic, formal
languages, algorithms, and Knowledge Representation.

Specific topics include:

* Non-monotonic reasoning
* Logic programming in Artificial Intelligence
* Logic-related algorithms
* Answer set programming
* Knowledge representation
* Belief representation
* Non-Classical logics
* Deduction techniques
* Automated reasoning
* Reasoning about situations and actions
* Preferences
* Default and abductive reasoning
* Argumentation
* Ontologies
