[DL] JELIA 2019 - DEADLINES EXTENDED (Abstract 2 Dec. - Submission 7 Dec.)

[cfp at mat.unical.it]

[apologies for multiple copies]

Due to many requests, submission deadlines have been extended.

New Dates:
Abstract submission 	02 December 2018 (23:59 UTC-12)
Paper submission        07 December 2018 (23:59 UTC-12)

== CALL FOR PAPERS ==

The Program Committee of the 16th European Conference on Logics in
Artificial Intelligence (JELIA 2019) invites the submission of technical
papers for the conference that will be held in Rende, Italy, from May 8th
to May 10th, 2019. The aim of JELIA 2019 is to bring together active
researchers interested in all aspects concerning the use of logics in
Artificial Intelligence to discuss current research, results, problems,
and applications of both theoretical and practical nature. JELIA strives
to foster links and facilitate cross-fertilization of ideas among
researchers from various disciplines, among researchers from academia and
industry, and between theoreticians and practitioners.

== AWARDS AND PRIZES ==
The Best Paper and the Best Student Paper of the conference will receive a
cash prize of EUR 500 each, offered by Springer.

Two high-quality papers of the conference that are suitable for
presentation to a general AI audience, will be invited for publication (of
abridged versions) to the IJCAI 2019 Sister Conference Best Paper Track.

The authors of the top-notch contributions (from 3 to 6 papers, including
both best papers) will be invited to submit long and more elaborate
versions of their work for a special issue of Theory and Practice of Logic
Programming (TPLP).

== RELEVANT TOPICS ==

Conference topics include, but are not limited to:
* Abductive and inductive reasoning
* Answer set programming
* Applications of logic-based AI systems
* Argumentation systems
* Automated reasoning including satisfiability checking and its extensions
* Computational complexity and expressiveness
* Deep learning for rules and ontologies
* Deontic logic and normative systems
* Description logics and other logical approaches to Semantic Web and
ontologies
* Explanation finding
* Knowledge representation, reasoning, and compilation
* Logic programming, answer set programming, constraint logic programming
* Logic-based data access and integration
* Logical interpretation of machine learning models
* Logics for uncertain and probabilistic reasoning
* Logics in machine learning
* Logics in multi-agent systems, games, and social choice
* Neural networks and logic rules
* Non-classical logics, such as modal, temporal, epistemic, dynamic,
spatial, paraconsistent, and hybrid logics
* Nonmonotonic logics, default logics, conditional logics
* Ontology formalisms and models
* Ontology-based query answering

For formatting guidelines, see more information on

JELIA 2019 welcomes submissions of long or short papers in the following
categories:

Regular papers. Submissions should contain original research, and
sufficient detail to assess the merits and relevance of the contribution.
Submissions must not have been previously published or be simultaneously
submitted for publication elsewhere.

System/Application descriptions. Submissions should describe an
implemented system/application and its application area(s). A
demonstration should accompany a system/application presentation. Papers
describing systems or applications that have already been presented in
JELIA before will be accepted only if significant and clear enhancements
have been implemented and are properly reported.

All submissions should not exceed 13 (resp., 6) pages for long (resp.,
short) papers, including figures etc., but excluding references, and
should be written in English. All submissions (both long and short) may
also include an appendix with no restriction in length containing, for
example, proofs of theorems that are stated in the main submission, or
relevant parts of source code. Reviewers will make their evaluations based
on the main submission, and are not obligated to read the appendix.
However, if proofs or other supplement matter are an important part of the
contribution, their essential elements should be included in the main
submission. Moreover, appendix will not be part of the camera-ready and it
may only be a publicly available online resource. Submissions must be
formatted according to the standard Springer LNCS style, and are not
anonymous. The conference proceedings of JELIA 2019 will be published by
Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, a
sub-series of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (Important note: Springer
will require all the LaTeX source files of all accepted submissions).

== POLICY ON MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS ==

JELIA 2019 will not accept any paper that, at the time of submission, is
under review or has already been published or accepted for publication in
a journal or another conference. Authors are also required not to submit
their papers elsewhere during JELIA's review period. However, these
restrictions do not apply to previous workshops with a limited audience
and without archival proceedings.
