 TWELFTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON NON-MONOTONIC REASONING (NMR 2008)

            (Collocated with KR 2008, CP 2008, ICAPS 2008)

               Sydney, Australia, September 13-15, 2008

----------------------------------------------------------------------

* The  NMR  workshop  series is  the  premier  specialised  forum  for
 researchers in nonmonotonic  reasoning and related  areas. This will
 be the  12th workshop  in the series.  Its aim is to bring  together
 active researchers  in  the broad  area of  nonmonotonic  reasoning,
 including belief revision, reasoning about  actions, planning, logic
 programming,    argumentation,    causality,    probabilistic    and
 possibilistic  approaches to  KR, and other related topics. Workshop
 activities  include  invited  talks,  tutorials,   presentations  of
 technical papers and special sessions.

 NMR 2008 will be composed of six specialised subworkshops:

 * Actions and Belief Change
 * Applications
 * Argument, Dialogue and Decision
 * Declarative Programming Paradigms and Systems for NMR
 * Preferences
 * Foundations of NMR and Uncertainty

 Information  on the subworkshops  may be accessed  from the workshop
 home page.

* Topics of Interest: NMR'08 welcomes the submission of papers broadly
 centred on issues and research in nonmonotonic reasoning. We welcome
 papers of  either a  theoretical  or  practical  nature.  Topics  of
 interest include (but are not limited to):
 foundations   of  non-monotonic  reasoning,   belief  revision   and
 information fusion, reasoning and decision-making under uncertainty,
 answer set programming, belief updating  and inconsistency handling,
 default  reasoning,  similarity-based  reasoning, empirical  studies
 of  reasoning  strategies,   representing   actions  and   planning,
 argument-based nonmonotonic logics,  abductive reasoning, algorithms
 and implementations, nonmonotonic logics in  multiagent interaction,
 including negotiation and dispute resolution.

* Important Dates

 NMR submission of papers: June 15, 2008
 Acceptance decision by:   July 15, 2008
 Camera ready copy due:    August 15, 2008
 Conference dates:         September 13-15, 2008

 Details of how to submit papers  can be found by following the links
 on the web  page to each  of the sessions. There will  be one set of
 proceedings for all six subworkshops.
