JELIA 2019 - First CfP - IJCAI + TPLP papers and AWARDS

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Program Committee of the 16th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence (JELIA 2019) invites the submission of technical papers for the conference that will be held in Rende, Italy, from May 8th to May 10th, 2019. The aim of JELIA 2019 is to bring together active researchers interested in all aspects concerning the use of logics in Artificial Intelligence to discuss current research, results, problems, and applications of both theoretical and practical nature. JELIA strives to foster links and facilitate cross-fertilization of ideas among researchers from various disciplines, among researchers from academia and industry, and between theoreticians and practitioners.

RELEVANT TOPICS

Conference topics include, but are not limited to:

Abductive and inductive reasoning
Answer set programming
Applications of logic-based AI systems
Argumentation systems
Automated reasoning including satisfiability checking and its extensions
Computational complexity and expressiveness
Deep learning for rules and ontologies
Deontic logic and normative systems
Description logics and other logical approaches to Semantic Web and ontologies
Explanation finding
Knowledge representation, reasoning, and compilation
Logic programming, answer set programming, constraint logic programming
Logic-based data access and integration
Logical interpretation of machine learning models
Logics for uncertain and probabilistic reasoning
Logics in machine learning
Logics in multi-agent systems, games, and social choice
Neural networks and logic rules
Non-classical logics, such as modal, temporal, epistemic, dynamic, spatial, paraconsistent, and hybrid logics
Nonmonotonic logics, default logics, conditional logics
Ontology formalisms and models
Ontology-based query answering
Ontology-based reasoning
Planning and diagnosis based on logic
Preferences
Reasoning about actions and causality
Updates, belief revision and nonmonotonic reasoning

AWARDS AND PRIZES

The Best Paper and the Best Student Paper of the conference will receive a cash prize of EUR 500 each, offered by Springer.

The authors of both best papers will be invited to submit abridged versions of their work to the IJCAI 2019 Sister Conference Best Paper Track.

The authors of the top-notch contributions (from 3 to 6 papers, including both best papers) will be invited to submit long and more elaborate versions of their work for a special issue of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP).

For formatting guidelines, see more information on https://jelia2019.mat.unical.it/submission

JELIA 2019 welcomes submissions of long or short papers in the following categories:

Regular papers. Submissions should contain original research, and sufficient detail to assess the merits and relevance of the contribution. Submissions must not have been previously published or be simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere.

System/Application descriptions. Submissions should describe an implemented system/application and its application area(s). A demonstration should accompany a system/application presentation. Papers describing systems or applications that have already been presented in JELIA before will be accepted only if significant and clear enhancements have been implemented and are properly reported.

All submissions should not exceed 13 (resp., 6) pages for long (resp., short) papers, including figures etc., but excluding references, and should be written in English. Submissions must be formatted according to the standard Springer LNCS style, and are not anonymous. The conference proceedings of JELIA 2019 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, a sub-series of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (Important note: Springer will require all the LaTeX source files of all accepted submissions).

POLICY ON MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS

JELIA 2019 will not accept any paper that, at the time of submission, is under review or has already been published or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference. Authors are also required not to submit their papers elsewhere during JELIA’s review period. However, these restrictions do not apply to previous workshops with a limited audience and without archival proceedings.
