[NOTE: As of 2 February 2010, the submission deadline for the Subworkshop on Preferences & Norm has been extended to 15 February 2010, per Frederic Koriche.]
Calls for papers, all of which have submissions deadlines of 29 January 2010 [but see extended deadline noted above], have been issued for NMR 2010: The 13th International Workshop on Non-Monotonic Reasoning, and particularly its Subworkshop on Preferences & Norm and its Subworkshop on Argument, Dialog & Decision. Both events will be held 14-16 May 2010, at Sutton Place, Toronto, Canada.
For the Subworkshop on Preferences & Norm, papers are invited on the following topics:
- preference languages
- preference semantics
- defeasible logics
- reasoning about preferences
- preference-based planning
- preferences in constraint programming
- preferences in logic programming
- preferences in multi-agent systems
- preference revision and fusion
- preference elicitation
- preference learning
- preference modeling frameworks
- prima facie obligations
- deontic dilemmas
- normative multiagent systems
- formal models of norm change
- merging normative systems
- permissive norms
- epistemic norms
- constitutive norms
- imperatives
For the Subworkshop on Argument, Dialog and Decision, papers are invited on the following topics:
- semantics
- proof theory
- complexity and resource limitations
- applications to epistemic and practical reasoning
- applications to informal theories of argumentation
- comparison with other types of nonmonotonic logic
- the development of argument-based logical systems in formal models of multi-agent reasoning and interaction, such as:
- fact finding investigations
- negotiation
- distributed sense-making
- dispute resolution and mediation
- decision making
Specialized calls have also been issued for the conference’s other Subworkshops, the submission deadline for all of which is 29 January 2010, and which may also be of interest to legal informatics/communication researchers:
- Declarative Programming for NMR
- Action and Belief Change
- Commonsense and NMR for Ontologies
- NMR and Uncertainty
For the main NMR 2010 conference, papers are invited on the following topics:
- foundations of non-monotonic reasoning,
- default reasoning,
- representing actions and planning,
- belief revision and information fusion,
- reasoning and decision-making under uncertainty,
- answer set programming,
- belief updating and inconsistency handling,
- similarity-based reasoning,
- empirical studies of reasoning strategies,
- argument-based non-monotonic logics,
- abductive reasoning, algorithms and implementations,
- non-monotonic logics in multi-agent interaction, including negotiation and dispute resolution,
- non-monotonic reasoning for ontologies,
- declarative programming for non-monotonic reasoning, and
- reasoning with preferences.
