                           CALL FOR PAPERS

    24th International Workshop on Description Logics (DL 2011)

           Barcelona, Spain, July 13th to July 16th, 2011

                      http://dl.kr.org/dl2011/

The DL workshop is the major annual event of the description logic
research community. It is the forum at which those interested in
description logics, both from academia and industry, meet to discuss
ideas, share information and compare experiences. The workshop will be
held at the Edifici Imagina (Avinguda Diagonal 177, Barcelona) from
July 13th to July 16th, 2011.

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission deadline: May 1, 2011
Notification of acceptance: June 5, 2011
Camera ready papers due: June 19, 2011
Workshop: July 13-16, 2011

WORKSHOP SCOPE

We invite contributions on all aspects of description logics,such as:

* foundations of description logics, including expressive power,
  decidability and complexity of reasoning, novel inference problems,
  and reasoning techniques for solving these problems;
* extensions of description logics, including, but not limited to,
  closed-world
  and nonmonotonic reasoning, defaults, epistemic reasoning, temporal
  and spatial reasoning, procedural knowledge, and query languages;
* integration of description logics with other formalisms, such as
  object-oriented representation languages, database query languages,
  constraint-based programming, logic programming, and rule-based
  systems;
* use of description logics in applications or areas such as ontology
  engineering, ontology languages, databases, semi-structured data,
  document management, natural language, learning, planning, semantic
  web, and grid computing;
* building systems based on description logics, with special emphasis
  on optimization and implementation techniques; and
* tools that exploit description logic reasoning, such as ontology
  editors, database schema design, query optimization, and data
  integration tools.

SUBMISSION DETAILS

We invite submissions of papers in Springer LNCS style, see
