The <br>scientific program is composed of thematic tracks. Submitted papers <br>will be subject to a rigorous revision process and accepted papers will <br>be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI). <br>Awards for the best paper and the best application paper will be granted. <br><br>Topics of interest for the KRR track include, but are not limited to: <br><br>• Action, change, causality and causal reasoning <br>• Argumentation <br>• Belief revision and update, belief merging <br>• Commonsense reasoning <br>• Constraint programming and KRR <br>• Contextual reasoning <br>• Description logics <br>• Diagnosis, abduction, explanation finding <br>• Inconsistency- and exception tolerant reasoning, paraconsistent logics <br>• KR and autonomous agents: intelligent agents, cognitive robotics, multi-agent systems <br>• KR and decision making, game theory, social choice <br>• KR and machine learning, inductive logic programming, knowledge discovery and acquisition <br>• KR and stream reasoning <br>• KR and the Web, Semantic Web <br>• Logic programming, answer set programming, constraint logic programming <br>• Non-monotonic logics, default logics, conditional logics <br>• Ontology formalisms and models <br>• Preferences: modeling and representation, preference-based reasoning <br>• Reasoners and solvers: SAT solvers, theorem provers, QBF solvers, and others <br>• Reasoning about knowledge and belief, dynamic epistemic logic, epistemic and doxastic logics <br>• Spatial reasoning and temporal reasoning, qualitative reasoning <br>• Uncertainty, representations of vagueness, many-valued and fuzzy logics <br><br>Organizing Committee <br>Ricardo Gonçalves, NOVA LINCS, Lisbon, Portugal <br>Minh Dao-Tran, KBS, Vienna University of Technology, Austria <br>Matthias Knorr, NOVA LINCS, Lisbon, Portugal <br>Jörg Pührer, ISG-CSI, Leipzig University, Germany <br><br>Program Committee <br>Slim Abdennadher, German University in Cairo, Egypt <br>Salvador Abreu, University of Evora, Portugal <br>Gerhard Brewka, Leipzig University, Germany <br>Pedro Cabalar, Corunna University, Spain <br>Esra Erdem, Sabanci University, Turkey <br>Cristina Feier, University of Bremen, Germany <br>Sarah Alice Gaggl, Technische Universität Dresden, Germany <br>Martin Homola, Comenius University, Slovakia <br>Daniela Inclezan, Miami University, USA <br>Adila A.
