                          UPDATED CALL FOR PAPERS: KR 2008
                               Eleventh International Conference on
                Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning

                        Sydney, Australia, September 16 - 19, 2008

                        Collocated with NMR-08, ICAPS-08, CP-08

                    The single registration fee includes attendance
                               to most events for all conferences

                                    http://www.kr.org/KR2008/

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 KR2008 to be a forum for the exchange of new ideas, 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 building knowledge bases,  
applications,
experiments, developments, and tests. Such papers should be  
explicitly identified as
reports from the field by the authors, to ensure appropriate  
reviewing, and should
include a section on evaluation.

Papers must be submitted in AAAI style (pdf only)

                      <http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/ 
author.php>

Paper length is 7 pages maximum including title, author information  
and references.
Authors may add to the paper an optional, clearly marked Appendix  
containing
technical material (such as proofs, evaluation results etc.)  
supporting claims made
in the paper. The Appendix must not exceed 2 additional pages in AAAI  
style. The
evaluation of the submission will be based on the quality of the  
paper. The optional
Appendix will be used in case reviewers are in doubt about claimed  
results.

Submission will be through the Easychair conference management system

                 http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=KR-2008

Conference proceedings will be published by AAAI Press. Final  
versions of papers will
be considerably longer than the submissions: for each accepted paper  
11 pages in AAAI
style  will be allocated in the proceedings.

Topics of interest include:

- Exception tolerant and inconsistency-tolerant reasoning,  
Paraconsistent logics
- Nonmonotonic logics, Default logics, Conditional logics, Argumentation
