Second Call For Papers
BNC@ECAI'12
Belief change, Non-monotonic reasoning and Conflict resolution
http://cair.meraka.org.za/~bnc2012 
http://cair.meraka.org.za/%7Ebnc2012
Montpellier, France
*** Aims and Scope
Belief change, non-monotonic reasoning and conflict 
resolution are well established
research areas in Artificial Intelligence. In recent years 
these topics have become
important for designing robots and infobots with convincing 
reasoning and adaptation
capabilities. The main aim of this workshop is to bring 
together active researchers
on these topics, including work on belief revision, belief 
merging, reasoning about
action, logic programming, inconsistency management, 
judgment aggregation,
negotiation, and other related topics. Papers on emerging 
research in this area are
especially welcome.
Numerous recent papers use techniques from belief change to 
define conflict resolution
methods. In particular, several negotiation and judgment 
aggregation methods are closely
related to work in belief revision or belief merging. 
Combining ideas from these research
topics is one of the aims of this workshop. Hence we 
especially encourage submission of
survey papers or position papers on these questions.
A further important trend is the study of the applicability 
of well known belief change
operators and techniques for particular languages that are 
largely used in applications,
such as Horn logics, description logics, or argumentation 
frameworks. New developments
towards such applicative contexts are also highly welcome.
*** Topics
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Argumentation
- Belief change
- Belief revision and update
- Belief merging
- Conflict resolution
- Inconsistency management
- Judgment aggregation
- Logic Programming
- Negotiation
- Non-monotonic reasoning
- Reasoning about action and change
