LPNMR'05 is the eighth in the series of international meetings on logic
programming and nonmonotonic reasoning. Seven previous meetings were held
in Washington, D.C., (1991), in Lisbon, Portugal (1993), in Lexington,
Kentucky (1995), in Dagstuhl, Germany (1997), in El Paso, Texas (1999),
in Vienna, Austria (2001), and in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (2004).

LPNMR'05 is organized by the Department of Mathematics of University
of Calabria (Italy), and will be co-located with the INFOMIX Workshop
on Data Integration.

AIMS AND SCOPE
--------------

LPNMR is a forum for exchanging ideas on declarative logic programming, 
nonmonotonic reasoning and knowledge representation. The aim of the conference 
is to facilitate interactions between researchers interested in the design 
and implementation of logic based programming languages  and database systems, 
and researchers who work in the areas of knowledge  representation and 
nonmonotonic reasoning. LPNMR strives to encompass these theoretical and 
exprimental studies  that lead to the construction of practical systems 
for declarative  programming and knowledge representation. 

CONFERENCE PROGRAM
------------------

The technical program of LPNMR 2005 comprises three invited talks, 25 research papers,
and two special tracks for application and system presentations (16 additional presentations).

INVITED TALKS
-------------

Jürgen Angele (Ontoprise GmbH)
Tohmas Eiter  (Vienna University of Technology, Austria) 
Michael Kifer (State University of New York at Stony Brook, USA) 

WORKSHOPS
---------
The conference will be co-located with the INFOMIX Workshop on Data Integration. 
The aim of the workshop is to discuss about recent research results on data 
integration exploiting LPNMR methods and systems, and capable of 
handling also data inconsistency and incompleteness.
