CALL FOR PAPERS
17th Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR2020)
12—18 September 2020, Rhodes, Greece
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) is a well-established and lively field of research. In KR a fundamental assumption is that an agent's knowledge is explicitly represented in a declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated reasoning engines. This assumption, that much of what an agent deals with is knowledge-based, is common in many modern intelligent systems. Consequently, KR has contributed to the theory and practice of various areas in AI, including automated planning and natural language understanding, and to fields beyond AI, including databases, verification, software engineering, and robotics. In recent years, KR has contributed also to new and emerging fields, including the semantic web, computational biology, cyber security, and the development of software agents.
The KR conference series is the leading forum for timely in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the representation and computational management of knowledge.
SCOPE
We solicit papers presenting novel results on the principles of KR that clearly contribute to the formal foundations of relevant problems or show the applicability of results to implemented or implementable systems. We also welcome papers from other areas that show clear use of, or contributions to, the principles or practice of KR. We also encourage "reports from the field" of applications, experiments, developments, and tests.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Applications of KR * Argumentation * Belief revision and update, belief merging, information fusion * Commonsense reasoning * Computational aspects of knowledge representation * Concept formation, similarity-based reasoning * Contextual reasoning * Decision making * Description logics * Explanation finding, diagnosis, causal reasoning, abduction * Geometric, spatial, and temporal reasoning * Inconsistency- and exception tolerant reasoning, paraconsistent logics * KR and autonomous agents and multi-agent systems * KR and cognitive robotics * KR and cyber security * KR and education * KR and game theory * KR and machine learning, inductive logic programming, knowledge acquisition * KR and natural language processing and understanding * KR and the Web, Semantic Web * Knowledge graphs, virtual knowledge graphs, and open linked data * Knowledge representation languages * Logic programming, answer set programming, constraint logic programming * Modeling and reasoning about preferences * Multi- and order-sorted representations and reasoning * Nonmonotonic logics, default logics, conditional logics * Ontology formalisms and models * Ontology-based data access, integration, and exchange * Philosophical foundations of KR * Qualitative reasoning, reasoning about physical systems * Reasoning about actions and change, action languages * Reasoning about knowledge, beliefs, and other mental attitudes * Uncertainty, vagueness, many-valued and fuzzy logics
KR2020 will also feature Workshops and Tutorials, solicited by means of an open call, and a Doctoral Consortium.
TRACKS
In addition to the main conference track, KR2020 will host the following tracks and sessions:
* Applications and Systems Track * Recent Published Research Track * Special Session: KR and Machine Learning * Special Session: KR and Robotics * Special Session: Women in KR
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission of title and abstract: 4 March 2020
Paper submission deadline: 11 March 2020
Author response period: 4--6 May 2020
Notification: 27 May 2020
Camera-ready papers: 24 June 2020
Conference dates: 12--18 September 2020
Recent Published Research Track, Workshops and Tutorials, and Doctoral Consortium will have different submission and notification dates, which will be announced separately.
AUTHORS GUIDELINES
All submissions must be written in English and in AAAI style. Papers must be submitted in PDF format, through the EasyChair conference system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr2020 .
For the main conference track and additional tracks/sessions (except for the Recent Published Research track), we invite
* Full papers of up to 9 pages, including abstract, figures, and appendices (if any), but excluding references and acknowledgements. * Short papers of up to 4 pages, excluding references and acknowledgements.
Both full and short papers must describe original, previously unpublished research, and must not simultaneously be submitted for publication elsewhere. These restrictions do not apply to previously accepted workshop papers with a limited audience and/or without archival proceedings, and to papers uploaded at public repositories (e.g., arXiv).
The accepted full papers and short papers will be published in the KR2020 proceedings.
Recent Published Research Track, Workshops and Tutorials, and Doctoral Consortium will have different submission guidelines, which will be announced separately.
