After the successful completion and publication of our book "Measuring
Inconsistency in Information" last year, we are now ready to start another
book project. We plan to edit a book "Incompleteness in Information" and
are looking for prospective chapter authors and reviewers. The dual
concepts of incompleteness and inconsistency were introduced in the early
1970s by John Grant. While there was little research on inconsistency in
information for several decades, incompleteness became important within a
few years on account of the null value problem in relational databases for
which John showed that Codd's 3-valued logic approach  , later adopted for
SQL, did not always give the correct answer. So research on incompleteness has
been going on for nearly 50 years.

We would like to put together a book that covers the past, present, and
future of incompleteness. So we are interested in survey chapters of past
work on incompleteness, research chapters of up-to-date issues in this area
and would like a chapter that concentrates on research issues for the
future. We are interpreting incompleteness in a fairly broad sense for
databases and AI including games, for instance. However, we are excluding
incompleteness in the sense of statistical, probabilistic, and fuzzy data.

If you (or someone you know) may be interested in this project in any way
such as writing a chapter, or reviewing, or if you have any suggestions or
advice please write to either grant at cs.umd.edu (John Grant) or
mvmartinez at dc.uba.ar (Maria Vanina Martinez).
