                                   http://www.kr.org/KR2008/

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.

We intend KR2008 to 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. We encourage papers presenting substantial new results in
the principles of KR&R systems that clearly contribute to the formal
foundations or show the applicability of the results to implemented or
implementable systems. We also encourage ``reports from the field" of
building knowledge bases,
applications, experiments, developments, and tests. Such papers should be
explicitly identified as reports from the field by the authors, to ensure
appropriate
reviewing, and should include a section on evaluation.

Papers must be submitted in AAAI style (pdf only)

                     <http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php>

Paper length is 7 pages maximum including title, author information and
references. Authors may add to the paper an optional, clearly marked
Appendix
containing technical material (such as proofs, evaluation results etc.)
supporting claims made in the paper. The Appendix must not exceed 2
additional pages in AAAI style. The evaluation of the submission will be
based on the quality of the paper. The optional Appendix will be used in
case reviewers are in doubt about claimed results.

Submission will be through the Easychair conference management system

                http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=KR-2008

Conference proceedings will be published by AAAI Press. Final versions of
papers will be considerably longer than the submissions: for each accepted
paper
11 pages in AAAI style  will be allocated in the proceedings.

- Exception tolerant and inconsistency-tolerant reasoning, Paraconsistent
logics
- Nonmonotonic logics, Default logics, Conditional logics, Argumentation
