========== Call for Papers ==============

8th Workshop on Formal and Cognitive Reasoning (FCR-2022)

https://www.fernuni-hagen.de/wbs/fcr2022.html

co-located with the 45th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence
in Trier, Germany
========================================

Aims and Scope
--------------
Information for real-life AI applications is usually pervaded by 
uncertainty and subject to change, thus demands non-classical reasoning 
approaches. At the same time, psychological findings indicate that human 
reasoning cannot be completely described by classical logical systems. 
Sources of explanations are incomplete knowledge, incorrect beliefs, or 
inconsistencies. A wide range of reasoning mechanisms has to be 
considered, such as analogical or defeasible reasoning, possibly in 
combination with machine learning methods. The field of knowledge 
representation and reasoning offers a rich palette of methods for 
uncertain reasoning both to describe human reasoning and to model AI 
approaches.

The aim of this series of workshops is to address recent challenges and 
to present novel approaches to uncertain reasoning and belief change in 
their broad senses, and in particular provide a forum for research work 
linking different paradigms of reasoning. A special focus is on papers 
that provide a base for connecting formal-logical models of knowledge 
representation and cognitive models of reasoning and learning, 
addressing formal and experimental or heuristic issues. Previous events 
of the Workshop on "Formal and Cognitive Reasoning" and joint workshops 
took place in Dresden (2015), Bremen (2016), Dortmund (2017), Berlin 
(2018), Kassel (2019), Bamberg (2020, online), and Berlin (2021, online).

            Agents and multiagent systems
            Analogical reasoning
