> Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR&R) is a vibrant and
> exciting field of 
> human endeavor. KR&R techniques are key drivers of innovation in
> computer science, 
> and they have led to significant advances in practical applications in
> a wide 
> range of areas from Artificial Intelligence to Software Engineering.
> 
> Explicit representations of knowledge manipulated by reasoning engines
> are an 
> integral and crucial component of intelligent systems. Semantic Web
> technologies 
> and the design of software agents, in particular, provide significant
> challenges 
> for KR&R. 
> 
> We intend KR2004 to be a forum for the exchange of news, issues, and
> results among 
> the community of researchers in the principles and practices of KR&R
> systems. We 
> encourage papers presenting substantial new results in the principles
> of KR&R 
> systems that clearly contribute to the formal foundations or show the
> applicability 
> of the results to implemented and implementable systems. We also
> encourage "reports 
> from the field'' of applications, experiments, developments, and
> tests. Such papers 
> should be explicitly identified as reports from the field by the
> authors, to ensure 
> appropriate reviewing, and must include a section on evaluation.
> 
> KR2004 will collocate with the International Conference on Advanced
> Planning and 
> Scheduling (ICAPS-2004), with one day in common. We strongly encourage
> papers 
> which would be of interest to both communities.
> 
> Topics of interest include: 
> 	    o  knowledge modeling and management 
> 	    o  reasoning techniques for incomplete & uncertain knowledge
> 
> 	    o  implemented KR systems 
> 	    o  KR in software engineering and planning
> 	    o  KR in robotics and intelligent agents     
> 	    o  the Semantic Web
> 
>  
> Important Dates 
>      Electronic Submission Deadline: November 26, 2003
>      Notification of acceptance: January 14, 2004
>      Camera-ready papers due: March 3, 2004
>      KR2004 Conference: June 2 -5, 2004
> 
> Paper Submission
> The Program Committee will review extended abstracts rather than
> complete papers. 
> Submissions must be at most twelve (12) pages, excluding the
> bibliography, with 
> a maximum of 38 lines per page and an average of 75 characters per
> line 
> (corresponding to the LaTeX article-style, 12pt). If you have a
> separate title 
> page containing at most the title, author information, keywords and
> abstract, 
> this will not be counted in the twelve page limit. Over length
> submissions will 
> be rejected without review. Authors of accepted papers will be
> expected to submit 
> substantially longer full papers for the conference proceedings.
> Authors must 
> submit an online title page and an electronic version of their paper
> in pdf format 
> only. The electronic process will be made available on the KR2004
> website closer 
> to the submission date. Papers not in pdf format will be rejected
> without review.
