                           CALL FOR PAPERS

    24th International Workshop on Description Logics (DL 2011)

           Barcelona, Spain, July 13th to July 16th, 2011

                      http://dl.kr.org/dl2011/

The DL workshop is the major annual event of the description logic
research community. It is the forum at which those interested in
description logics, both from academia and industry, meet to discuss
ideas, share information and compare experiences.

==IMPORTANT DATES==

Paper submission deadline: May 1, 2011
Notification of acceptance: June 5, 2011
Camera ready papers due: June 19, 2011
Workshop: July 13-16, 2011

==WORKSHOP SCOPE==

We invite contributions on all aspects of description logics,such
as:
* foundations of description logics, including expressive power,
   decidability and complexity of reasoning, novel inference problems,
   and reasoning techniques for solving these problems;
* extensions of description logics, including, but not limited to,
   closed-world and nonmonotonic reasoning, defaults, epistemic
   reasoning, temporal and spatial reasoning, procedural knowledge, and
   query languages;
* integration of description logics with other formalisms, such as
   object-oriented representation languages, database query languages,
   constraint-based programming, logic programming, and rule-based
   systems;
* use of description logics in applications or areas such as ontology
   engineering, ontology languages, databases, semi-structured data,
   document management, natural language, learning, planning, semantic
   web, and grid computing;
* building systems based on description logics, with special emphasis
   on optimization and implementation techniques; and
* tools that exploit description logic reasoning, such as ontology
   editors, database schema design, query optimization, and data
   integration tools.

==SUBMISSION DETAILS==

We invite submissions of papers in Springer LNCS style, see
http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html
