JELIA 2012 Call for Participation

JELIA 2012 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
=================================

12th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence - 
Toulouse, France, September 26-28, 2012
http://www.irit.fr/jelia2012

Logics provide a formal basis and key descriptive notation for the study 
and development of applications and systems in Artificial Intelligence 
(AI). With the depth and maturity of formalisms, methodologies, and 
systems today, such logics are increasingly important. The European 
Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence (or Journees Europeennes 
sur la Logique en Intelligence Artificielle --- JELIA) began back in 
1988, as a workshop, in response to the need for a European forum for 
the discussion of emerging work in this field. Since then, JELIA has 
been organized biennially, with English as the official language, and 
with proceedings published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in 
Artificial Intelligence series. In 2012 the conference is organized in 
Toulouse, France. The increasing interest in this forum, its 
international level with growing participation from researchers outside 
Europe, and the overall technical quality, has turned JELIA into a major 
forum for the discussion of logic-based approaches to AI.
