[apologies for multiple postings]


= PRELIMINARY Call for Papers =

16th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence (JELIA 2019)
May 8-10, 2019, Rende, Italy


== Aim and Scope ==

The aim of JELIA 2019 is to bring together active researchers interested
in all aspects concerning the use of logics in Artificial Intelligence to
discuss current research, results, problems, and applications of both
theoretical and practical nature. JELIA strives to foster links and
facilitate cross-fertilization of ideas among researchers from various
disciplines, among researchers from academia and industry, and between
theoreticians and practitioners.

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished
research in all areas related to the use of logics in Artificial
Intelligence. Conference topics include, but are not limited to:

Abductive and inductive reasoning
Answer set programming
Applications of logic-based AI systems
Argumentation systems
Automated reasoning including satisfiability checking and its extensions
Computational complexity and expressiveness
Deep learning for rules and ontologies
Deontic logic and normative systems
Description logics and other logical approaches to Semantic Web and
ontologies
Explanation finding
Knowledge representation, reasoning, and compilation
Logic programming, answer set programming, constraint logic programming
Logic-based data access and integration
Logical interpretation of machine learning models
Logics for uncertain and probabilistic reasoning
Logics in machine learning
Logics in multi-agent systems, games, and social choice
Neural networks and logic rules
Non-classical logics, such as modal, temporal, epistemic, dynamic,
spatial, paraconsistent, and hybrid logics
Nonmonotonic logics, default logics, conditional logics
Ontology formalisms and models
Ontology-based query answering
Ontology-based reasoning
Planning and diagnosis based on logic
Preferences
Reasoning about actions and causality
Updates, belief revision and nonmonotonic reasoning


== Submissions ==

JELIA 2019 welcomes submissions of long or short papers in the following
categories:

A. Regular papers: Submissions should contain original research, and
sufficient detail to assess the merits and relevance of the contribution.
Submissions must not have been previously published or be simultaneously
submitted for publication elsewhere.

B. System/Application descriptions: Submissions should describe an
implemented system/application and its application area(s). A
demonstration should accompany a system/application presentation. Papers
describing systems or applications that have already been presented in
JELIA before will be accepted only if significant and clear enhancements
have been implemented and are properly reported.

All submissions should not exceed 13 (resp., 6) pages for long (resp.,
short) papers, including figures etc., but excluding references, and
should be written in English. Submissions must be formatted according to
the standard Springer LNCS style, and are not anonymous. The conference
proceedings of JELIA 2019 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, a sub-series of Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (Important note: Springer will require all the LaTeX
source files of all accepted submissions).

Policy on Multiple Submission: JELIA 2019 will not accept any paper which,
at the time of submission, is under review or has already been published
or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference. Authors
are also required not to submit their papers elsewhere during JELIA's
review period. However, these restrictions do not apply to previous
workshops with a limited audience and without archival proceedings.

JELIA 2019 (abstract and paper) submissions are handled through the
EasyChair conference management system: 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jelia2019.
