    Preliminary 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:

    Abduction Logics and expressiveness
    Active and Deductive systems Logic based planning and Diagnosis
    Applications of logic-based systems Logic based Expert systems
    Automated reasoning Logic based AI systems
    Belief revision and updates Logic programming
    Common-sense reasoning Logics in Machine Learning
    Computational complexity in AI Model Checking
    Constraint satisfaction Multi-Agent Systems
    Hybrid reasoning systems Nonmonotonic reasoning
    Inductive reasoning and data mining Ontologies
    Description logics Semantic Web
    Logic databases Theorem proving
    Knowledge representation Uncertain and probabilistic reasoning

    Submission
    Papers must not exceed thirteen (13) pages including title page, references
    and figures, and must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS/LNAI=20
    authors'
    instructions (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
    Paper submission is electronic via the conference home
    page http://www.unical.it/jelia/.
    Papers must be written in English and present original research. One author
    of each accepted paper will be expected to present it at the conference.

    Publication
    As in the past, the proceedings of JELIA'02 will be published by Springer
    in the LNCS/LNAI series.
    Furthermore, a special issue of a journal collecting extended versions of
    selected papers presented at the conference is planned.
