                    Last Call for Papers

EPIA 2011 - 15th Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence

   Thematic Track: COLA - COmputational Logic with Applications

                        October 10-13

               Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal

                  http://epia2011.appia.pt/

== Overview ==

The development  of sophisticated intelligent  systems requires more
and more  sound and appropriate foundations and  tools, resulting in
new   problems   and   challenges   for  the   computational   logic
practitioners.  Computational logic has  been widely used in complex
applications  in important  areas such  as the  Deductive Databases,
Natural Language Processing and  Program Analysis, and more recently
on the Semantic Web and  related Web Tools. These novel applications
have exposed the limits of existing approaches, showing the need for
research on better  languages and more sophisticated implementations
of reasoning systems.   The COLA thematic track of  EPIA 2011 covers
the  broad area of  Computational Logic  and its  applications, with
special   interest   on   topics   related  with   new   formalisms,
environments, languages, tools,  and applications.  A non-exhaustive
list of topics follows:

- Logic based knowledge representation and applications
- Declarative semantics of rule languages and applications
- Program Analysis, Program Transformation, Validation and
Verification, Debugging, Profiling
- Implementation of reasoning systems, in particular logic programming,
contextual logic programming, and tabling systems
- Abductive and Inductive Logic Programming
- Ontologies, Description Logics and integration with reasoning systems
- Reasoning with incomplete and uncertain information, including
non-monotonic reasoning as well as probabilistic and fuzzy logic
programming formalisms
- Reasoning on the Semantic Web
- Applications: Deductive Databases, Data Integration,
Natural Language, Semantic Web, and Web Tools

== Important Dates ==

 Deadline for paper submission: May 10, 2011
 Notification of paper acceptance: June 10, 2011
 Camera-ready papers: July 1, 2011
 Conference dates: October 10-13, 2011

== Submission Guidelines ==

All  papers should  be submitted  through the  conference management
website at:

   http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=epia2011

Papers should  not exceed fifteen (15)  pages in length  and must be
formatted according to the information for LNCS authors. Papers must
be submitted  in PDF (Adobe's  Portable Document Format)  format and
will  not be accepted  in any  other format.  Papers that  exceed 15
pages  or do  not follow  the  LNCS guidelines  risk being  rejected
automatically  without  a  review.   At  least one  author  of  each
accepted paper  must register for the  conference.  More information
about the  Springer's Lecture Notes  in Computer Science  (LNCS) are
available on the Springer LNCS Web site

   http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

The best  papers (the  exact number is  decided by the  EPIA Chairs)
will appear  in the  proceedings published by  Springer in  the LNAI
series. The remaining  accepted papers will be  published in a venue
TBA.
