------------------------------------------------------------
The 3rd International Conference on Logic and Argumentation
CLAR 2020, 6-9 April 2020, Hangzhou, China
CALL FOR PAPERS
------------------------------------------------------------

The 3rd International Conference on Logic and Argumentation (CLAR 2020) 
invites interdisciplinary contributions from logic, artificial 
intelligence, philosophy, computer science, linguistics, law, and other 
areas studying logic and formal argumentation.

CLAR 2020 will be held in Hangzhou, 6-9 April 2020, as part of the 
Zhejiang Logic for AI Summit (ZJULogAI 2020). With a special focus on 
?methods and tools for explainable AI?, a core objective of ZJULogAI is 
to present the latest developments and progress made on the crucial 
question of how to make AI more transparent, trustworthy and 
accountable, both in China as well as in the rest of the world. All 
participants to CLAR 2020 have access to all other events of ZJULogAI as 
well.

Proceedings with accepted submissions will be available during the 
conference, and extended versions will be published after the conference 
in special issues of the Journal of Logic and Computation and the 
Journal of Applied Logics.
