*2nd CALL FOR PAPERS*

*Deadline*: 24 April 2015

*INTRODUCTION*

LQMR'15 aims at bringing together researchers from various fields interested
in qualitative modelling and reasoning. In particular, the workshop will
focus on the formal approaches to qualitative reasoning, its philosophical
aspects and practical applications of QR methods in engineering and
computer science.

*INVITED SPEAKERS*

*Thomas Bittner*, Department of Philosophy, State University of New
York at Buffalo,
USA
(director of the Qualitative Spatial Reasoning unit of the Ontology Research
Group, leading expert in amongst others: formal ontology, qualitative
spatial reasoning and geographic information science)

*Ivan Bratko*, head of Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Faculty of Computer
and Information Science of the University of Ljubljana
(author of over 200 scientific papers and numerous books, his research
interests
include machine learning, qualitative modelling and heuristic programming)

*Kenneth D. Forbus*, Walter P. Murphy Professor of Computer Science
and Professor
of Education, Northwestern University, USA
(head of the Cognitive Systems Area, prominent expert in qualitative reasoning,
analogical reasoning and learning, inference engine design)

*Ian Pratt-Hartmann*, School of Computer Science, The University of Manchester,
United Kingdom / Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, University of
Opole, Poland
(leading researcher in the fields of logic, AI and cognitive science. His main
interests include interfaces between logic and complexity theory, logic and
geometry and logic and natural language)
