Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR&R) is a vibrant and exciting
field
of human endeavour. KR&R techniques are key drivers of innovation in
computer
science, and they have led to significant advances in practical applications
in a
wide range of areas from Artificial Intelligence to Software Engineering.

Explicit representations of knowledge manipulated by reasoning engines are
an
integral and crucial component of intelligent systems. Semantic Web
technologies,
the design of software agents and Bio-Informatics technologies, in
particular, provide
significant challenges for KR&R.

KR2008 will be a forum for the exchange of new ideas, issues, and results
among
the community of researchers in the principles and practices of KR&R
systems.
