The conference will start with 3 days of excursions in the amazing nature of the Galápagos Islands. Along the way, participants will get to see and experience the islands and their plant and animal life, both above and beneath the surface of the ocean. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such a harsh environment, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment.

About JELIA
================

Logics have, for many years, laid claim to providing a formal 
basis for the study and development of applications and 
systems in Artificial Intelligence. With the depth and 
maturity of formalisms, methodologies and logic-based systems 
today, this claim is stronger than ever.

The European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence 
(or Journées Européennes sur la Logique en Intelligence 
Artificielle - JELIA) began back in 1988, as a workshop, in 
response to the need for a European forum for the discussion 
of emerging work in this field. Since then, JELIA has been 
organised biennially, with proceedings published in the 
Springer-Verlag series Lecture Notes in Artificial 
Intelligence. Previous meetings took place in Roscoff, France 
(1988), Amsterdam, Netherlands (1990), Berlin, Germany 
(1992), York, UK (1994), Évora, Portugal (1996), Dagstuhl, 
Germany (1998), Málaga, Spain (2000), Cosenza, Italy (2002), 
Lisbon, Portugal (2004), Liverpool, UK (2006), Dresden, 
Germany (2008), Helsinki, Finland (2010) and Toulouse, France 
(2012).

The increasing interest in this forum, its international 
level with growing participation of researchers from outside 
Europe, and the overall technical quality, have turned JELIA 
into a major biennial forum for the discussion of logic-based 
approaches to artificial intelligence.

================
Aims and Scope
================

The aim of JELIA 2014 is to bring together active researchers 
interested in all aspects concerning the use of logics in 
Artificial Intelligence to discuss current research, results, 
problems, and applications of both theoretical and practical 
nature. JELIA strives to foster links and facilitate cross-
fertilization of ideas among researchers from various 
disciplines, among researchers from academia and industry, 
and between theoreticians and practitioners.

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and 
unpublished research in all areas related to the use of 
logics in Artificial Intelligence including:
* Abductive and inductive reasoning
* Answer set programming
* Applications of logic-based AI systems
* Argumentation systems
* Automated reasoning including satisfiability checking and 
  its extensions
* Computational complexity and expressiveness
* Deontic logic and normative systems
* Description logics and other logical approaches to semantic 
  web and ontologies
* Knowledge representation, reasoning, and compilation
* Logic-based data access and integration
* Logic programming and constraint programming
* Logics for uncertain and probabilistic reasoning
* Logics in machine learning
* Logics in multi-agent systems, games, and social choice
* Non-classical logics, such as modal, temporal, epistemic, 
  dynamic, spatial, paraconsistent, and hybrid logics
* Planning and diagnosis based on logic
* Preferences
* Reasoning about actions and causality
* Updates, belief revision and nonmonotonic reasoning

For the previous event, see http://grammars.grlmc.com/SSTiC2013/ SSTiC 2014 will be a research training event mainly addressed to PhD students and PhD holders in the first steps of their academic career. It intends to update them about the most recent developments in the diverse branches of computer science and its neighbouring areas. To that purpose, renowned scholars will lecture and will be available for interaction with the audience. SSTiC 2014 will cover the whole spectrum of computer science through 6 keynote lectures and 23 six-hour courses dealing with some of the most lively topics in the field. The organizers share the idea that outstanding speakers will really attract the brightest students. ADDRESSED TO: Graduate students from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites in terms of the academic degree the attendee must hold. However, since there will be several levels among the courses, reference may be made to specific knowledge background in the description of some of them. SSTiC 2014 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep themselves updated on developments in their own field or in other branches of computer science. They will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with scholars who are main references in computing nowadays. REGIME: In addition to keynotes, 3 parallel sessions will be held during the whole event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they will be willing to attend as well as to move from one to another. VENUE: SSTiC 2014 will take place in Tarragona, located 90 kms. to the south of Barcelona. The venue will be: Campus Catalunya Universitat Rovira i Virgili Av.

For the sake of organization, it will be helpful to have an approximation of the respective demand for each course. Since the capacity of the venue is limited, registration requests will be processed on a first come first served basis. The registration period will be closed when the capacity of the venue will be complete. It is very convenient to register prior to the event. FEES: As far as possible, participants are expected to attend for the whole (or most of the) week (full-time). Fees are a flat rate allowing one to participate to all courses. They vary depending on the registration deadline. ACCOMMODATION: Information about accommodation is available on the website of the School. CERTIFICATE: Participants will be delivered a certificate of attendance. QUESTIONS AND FURTHER INFORMATION: [log in to unmask] POSTAL ADDRESS: SSTiC 2014 Lilica Voicu Rovira i Virgili University Av.

Position papers must not exceed 8 pages and they should relate to an ongoing research or experience. Time allowed, position papers will be presented by the authors alongside regular papers. Alternatively, they will be placed in the category of POSTER PAPERS available for viewing and discussions. Position papers may be also submitted as DEMO PAPERS and presented as demonstrations of software tools and products. They should describe non-for-profit software tools in a prototype-, alpha-, or beta-version. We invite TWO TYPES OF POSITION PAPERS: - EMERGING RESEARCH PAPERS present preliminary research results from work-in-progress based on sound scientific approach but presenting work not completely validated as yet. They must describe precisely the research problem and its rationale. They must also define the intended future work including the expected benefits from solution to the tackled problem. - CHALLENGE PAPERS propose and describe research challenges in theory or practice of computer science and information systems. The papers in this category must be based on deep understanding of existing research or industrial problems and should be defining new promising research directions. POSITION PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION: Position papers will be published as a SEPARATE ELECTRONIC VOLUME, WITH an ISBN and ISSN numbers. These papers will NOT be placed in the IEEE Digital Library and will NOT be submitted to Thomson Reuters Web of Science. However, they will be indexed in the BazEcon database, and submitted for indexing to: SciVerse Scopus, Inspec, DBLP Computer Science Bibliography and Google Scholar. Authors should submit a position paper in English, carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling, using the on-line submission procedure. The guidelines for paper formatting provided at the conference website ought to be used for all submitted papers. The preferred submission format is the same as the camera-ready format. Please check and carefully follow the instructions and templates provided. Papers that are out of the conference scope of the selected event, or that contain any form of (self)plagiarism will be rejected without reviews. All position papers will be refereed before inclusion in the conference program.
