CALL FOR PAPERS

NMR'10 Special session on Declarative Programming Paradigms and Systems

Sub-workshop of Non-Monotonic Reasoning 2010
Toronto, Canada, 14-16 May 2010
http://www.cs.sfu.ca/NMR2010/NMR_2010/Declarative_Programming_for_NMR.html

Topics of the workshop include all aspects regarding expressive (domain
independent) modeling and knowledge representation languages and
inference systems for declarative problem solving. The workshop is a
one-day event and the technical program forms a part of the Thirteenth
Non-Monotonic Reasoning Workshop (NMR 2010), to be held in Toronto,
Canada, collocated with the KR/DL/ICAPS/AAMAS/FOIS 2010 conferences.
