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unpublished research in all areas related to the use of 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

Paper Submission
================

There are two categories for submissions:

A. Regular papers
Submissions should contain original research, and sufficient 
detail to assess the merits and relevance of the 
contribution. Submissions must not have been previously 
published or be simultaneously submitted for publication 
elsewhere.

B. System descriptions
Submissions should describe an implemented system and its 
application area(s). A demonstration is expected to accompany 
a system presentation. Papers describing systems that have 
already been presented in JELIA before will be accepted only 
if significant and clear enhancements to the system are 
reported and implemented.

All submissions should not exceed 13 pages including figures 
etc., but excluding references. All submissions should be 
written in English, and should be formatted according to the 
standard Springer LNCS style. The proceedings of JELIA 2014 
are published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in 
Artificial Intelligence, a sub-series of Lecture Notes in 
Computer Science (Important note: Springer will require all 
the LaTeX source files of all accepted submissions).

Policy on Multiple Submission: JELIA 2014 will not accept any 
paper which, at the time of submission, is under review or 
has already been published or accepted for publication in a 
journal or another conference. Authors are also required not 
to submit their papers elsewhere during JELIA’s review 
period. However, these restrictions do not apply to previous 
workshops with a limited audience and without archival 
proceedings.

JELIA 2014 submissions are handled through the EasyChair 
conference management system. Follow the link 
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jelia2014
to register your abstract and submit your paper.
