CALL FOR PAPERS


TWELFTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON NON-MONOTONIC REASONING (NMR 2008)

(Collocated with KR 2008, CP 2008, ICAPS 2008)

Sydney, Australia, September 13-15, 2008

----------------------------------------------------------------------

* The NMR workshop series is the premier specialised forum for
researchers in nonmonotonic reasoning and related areas. This will
be the 12th workshop in the series. Its aim is to bring together
active researchers in the broad area of nonmonotonic reasoning,
including belief revision, reasoning about actions, planning, logic
programming, argumentation, causality, probabilistic and
possibilistic approaches to KR, and other related topics. Workshop
activities include invited talks, tutorials, presentations of
technical papers and special sessions.

NMR 2008 will be composed of six specialised subworkshops:

* Actions and Belief Change
* Applications
* Argument, Dialogue and Decision
* Declarative Programming Paradigms and Systems for NMR
* Preferences
* Foundations of NMR and Uncertainty

Information on the subworkshops may be accessed from the workshop
home page.

* Topics of Interest: NMR'08 welcomes the submission of papers broadly
centred on issues and research in nonmonotonic reasoning. We welcome
papers of either a theoretical or practical nature. Topics of
interest include (but are not limited to):
foundations of non-monotonic reasoning, belief revision and
information fusion, reasoning and decision-making under uncertainty,
answer set programming, belief updating and inconsistency handling,
default reasoning, similarity-based reasoning, empirical studies
of reasoning strategies, representing actions and planning,
argument-based nonmonotonic logics, abductive reasoning, algorithms
and implementations, nonmonotonic logics in multiagent interaction,
including negotiation and dispute resolution.

* Important Dates

NMR submission of papers: June 15, 2008
Acceptance decision by: July 15, 2008
Camera ready copy due: August 15, 2008
