CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

NMR'10 Sub-Workshop on Action and Belief Change

Co-located with KR'10
Toronto, Canada, 14-16 May 2010
http://www.cs.sfu.ca/NMR2010/NMR_2010/Action_and_Belief_Change.html

Reasoning about actions, causality, and belief change are well
established research areas in nonmonotonic reasoning. Thanks to
advances in these areas in recent years, it has become evident that
the boundaries between these research areas are hardly discernible and
that they have more in common than it was previously believed. For
this reason, since the 2008 edition of NMR, the traditional ``Action
and Change'' and ``Belief Change'' tracks have been merged into a new
``Actions and Belief Change'' sub-workshop. 

In addition to the traditional topics in the areas of reasoning about
actions and belief change, we particularly encourage papers exploring
the common territory that will further promote the cross-fertilization
between these two areas. This would include, for example, reasoning
about complex and dynamic environments, belief and knowledge merging
under actions, multi-agent belief revision through communication, and
so on. 

The specialized workshop on Action and Belief Change is a one-day
event intended to bring together researchers interested in the areas
of reasoning about action, causality and belief change, and to discuss
current research, results and problems of a theoretical, foundational
or practical nature. In particular, researchers from allied fields are
encouraged to submit papers and participate in the workshop. This
workshop will be part of the technical program of the 13th
International Workshop on Nonmonotonic Reasoning (NMR'10), to be held
in Toronto, Canada, and collocated with the KR 2010, ICAPS 2010, FOIS 2010
and AAMAS 2010 conferences.
