Call for Papers
8th European Conference on
Logics in Artificial Intelligence
Jelia'02
Cosenza, Italy, September 23-26, 2002
http://www.unical.it/jelia/
The European Conference on Logics in AI provides a major biennial forum
for the discussion of logic-oriented approaches to artificial intelligence.
Following previous meetings in France (1988), The Netherlands (1990),
Germany (1992), England (1994), Portugal (1996), Germany (1998) and Spain
(2000) the eighth conference will be held in Cosenza, Italy, from 23 to 26
September 2002.
Aim and scope
The aim is to bring together active researchers interested in all aspects
concerning the use of logics in artificial intelligence to discuss current
research, results, and problems and applications of both a theoretical
and practical nature. Moreover, Jelia strives to foster links and facilitate
cross-fertilisation of ideas among researchers from various disciplines;
among researchers from academia, industry and government; and between
theoreticians and practitioners.
Topics
Papers are sought in areas related to the use of logics in AI including
(but are not limited to) the following topics:
