AIMS AND SCOPE

 LPNMR 2019 is the fifteenth in the series of international meetings
 on logic programming and non-monotonic reasoning. LPNMR is a forum
 for exchanging ideas on declarative logic programming, non-monotonic
 reasoning, and knowledge representation. The aim of the conference is
 to facilitate interactions between researchers and practitioners
 interested in the design and implementation of logic-based programming
 languages and database systems, and those working in knowledge
 representation and nonmonotonic reasoning. LPNMR strives to encompass
 theoretical and experimental studies that have led or will lead to
 advances in declarative programming and knowledge representation, as
 well as their use in practical applications. A Doctoral Consortium 
 will also be a part of the program.

 This year's edition of the conference seeks to raise submissions devoted 
 towards use of LPNMR techniques in emerging applications stemming from such 
 areas as deep learning, robotics, cybersecurity, modeling cyberphysical 
 systems, and human-aware AI. Aspects that have been studied in commonsense 
 reasoning, inconsistency tolerance, and handling of dynamic knowledge appear 
 essential in enabling these emerging applications to provide 
 explanations and justifications of their outcomes.  LPNMR 2019 aims to 
 bring together researchers from LPNMR core areas and application areas of 
 the aforementioned kind in order to share research experiences, promote 
 collaboration and identify directions for joint future research.

VENUE

 Philadelphia, or the "City of Brotherly Love," is the sixth-largest city 
 in the United States and once served as the nation's capital. Philadelphia
 is an active historical and cultural hub, and has been striving for 
 excellence since 1776. The city's rich history of knowledge and academic 
 prowess has never diminished as it continues to promote and foster higher 
 education. Visitors can explore various attractions in and around 
 Philadelphia, such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Franklin 
 Institute, the Barnes Foundation, the Reading Terminal Market, and much 
 more.

 Located on the East Coast of the U.S., between New York City and 
 Washington D.C., Philadelphia is easily reachable by air, train, and 
 car. As a testament to Philadelphia's commitment to educational 
 advancement, LPNMR 2019 will be held in one of the city's top colleges, 
 Saint Joseph's University. Saint Joseph's campus is located at the 
 outskirts of the city, in an area that features historic homes, green 
 areas, and a quick connection to Philadelphia's Center City and Old 
 City.
