[DL] NMR 2012 - Deadline Extension and Final Call for Papers

[Stefan Woltran]

Due to several requests, the submission deadline for papers
has been extended by seven days, i.e., to

Saturday, March 17 23:59 UTC-12 (= March 17, anywhere in the world).

IMPORTANT: To enable bidding, title and abstract still have to be
submitted by 10th of March!


Best regards,

Riccardo Rosati and Stefan Woltran
Programme Co-Chairs NMR 2012.

===============================================================================


AIMS AND SCOPE

  The NMR workshop series is the premier specialized forum for researchers in
  non-monotonic reasoning and related areas. This will be the 14th workshop in
  the series. Its aim is to bring together active researchers in the broad area
  of non-monotonic reasoning, including belief revision, reasoning about
  actions, argumentation, declarative programming, preferences, non-monotonic
  reasoning for ontologies, uncertainty, and other related topics.

  In this year, NMR will share a joint session together with the International
  Workshop on Description Logics (DL 2012).


TOPICS

  NMR 2012 welcomes the submission of papers broadly centered on issues and
  research in non-monotonic reasoning. We welcome papers of either a
  theoretical or practical nature. Topics of interest include (but are not
  limited to):
   - abductive reasoning and diagnosis
   - algorithms and complexity analysis
   - argumentation and argument-based non-monotonic logics
   - answer set programming
   - belief revision and information fusion
   - belief updating and inconsistency handling
   - declarative programming for non-monotonic reasoning
   - default reasoning
   - empirical studies of reasoning strategies
   - foundations of non-monotonic reasoning
   - hybrid approaches (nonmonotonic reasoning combined with
     other computing paradigms)
   - implementations and systems
   - non-monotonic logics in multi-agent interaction, including
     negotiation and dispute resolution
   - non-monotonic reasoning for ontologies
   - reasoning and decision-making under uncertainty
   - reasoning with preferences
   - representing actions and planning
   - similarity-based reasoning


SUBMISSIONS

  Papers must describe original research and should not exceed 9 pages
  in AAAI style (http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php)
  including references, figures, and appendixes if any.
  Short Papers (max. 4 pages) presenting implemented systems related to NMR
  are also welcome!

  The best paper among the ones written solely by students (i.e. persons
  not holding a PhD as of March 10th, 2012) will be awarded a prize of
  400 Euros. Authors of such papers are requested to indicate their
  eligibility upon submission at Easychair.

  Paper submission will be handled electronically by means of the
  Easychair system. Papers must be submitted in PDF only.
  The submission page is available at

   http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nmr2012

  NMR does not ask authors to sign over the copyright of their papers.
  Copyright therefore lies with the authors, and as far as NMR is concerned,
  they are free to submit to other conferences and workshops as well.
