KRR 1998 Area Meetings
In 1998 there were seven workshops
and conferences organized oninitiative of KRR area nodes, partly supported by
the COMPULOG-NET, and about which you will find reports elsewhere in this issue
of the Newsletter.
First, “Logic Programming track at the 7th Non-monotonic Reasoning Workshop”,
May 30 - June 1, 1998, Trento, Italy. A special issue of the Annals of Mathematics
and Artificial Intelligence on Logic Programming and Non-monotonic reasoning
will contain full versions of some of the papers presented in the workshop plus
other papers related to the area from KR98. The issue will be available at the
beginning of the second semester of 1999.
Second, the “7th Non-monotonic Reasoning Workshop”, May 30 - June 1, 1998, Trento,
Italy. Proceedings available from the organizers.
Third, APPIA-GULP-PRODE’98, the “V Joint Conference on Declarative Programming”,
held in 20-23 July 1998, at A Coruna, Spain. An ongoing series of conferences
promoted by national associations in Italy, Portugal, and Spain to foster collaboration.
Proceedings are available from the organizers.
Fourth, the 6th Ibero-American Conference on AI, which took place in Lisbon, Portugal, October 6-9, 1998. Proceedings published in Springer-Verlag’s LNAI series, vol. 1484.
Fifth, the Sixth International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, KR’98, held in June 2-5, 1998 in Trento, Italy. Proceedings published by Morgan and Kaufmann.
Sixth, JELIA’98, “Logics in AI” conference, held at Dagstuhl, Germany, 12-15 October 1998. Proceedings available in Springer-Verlag’s LNAI series, vol. 1489. Seventh, TADP’98, “Tabulation in Deduction and Parsing” workshop, held 1-3 April, Paris, France. Proceedings available from the organizers.
