17th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON NON-MONOTONIC REASONING (NMR 2018) — *** DEADLINE EXTENSION ***

NMR 2018 is co-located with KR 2018 and DL 2018, in particular, NMR 2018 will share a joint session with DL 2018.

NMR has a long history — it started in 1984, and is held every two years. Recent previous NMR workshops were held in Cape Town (2016) Vienna (2014) Rome (2012), Toronto (2010), Sydney (2008), and Lake District (UK) (2006).

As in 2016, NMR 2018 will no longer have different tracks in order to not force submissions and presentations into a strict format. Instead, we would like to foster connections between the different fields of nonmonotonic reasoning and provide a forum for emerging topics. We especially invite papers on systems and applications, as well as position papers and papers addressing benchmark issues. The workshop will be structured by topical sessions fitting to the scopes of accepted papers.

The workshop will be held at the Arizona State University, from October 27-29, 2018. Workshop activities will include invited talks and presentations of technical papers. 

Important dates:

Paper registration deadline *** EXTENSION ***: July 22, 2018
Paper submission deadline *** EXTENSION ***: July 29, 2018
Notification of acceptance: September 10, 2018
Camera-ready copies: October 4, 2018

Submissions Information:

Papers should be at most 10 pages in AAAI style including references, figures, and appendixes, if any; for further instructions on the format, please see the KR 2018 website. Papers must be submitted in PDF only. Paper submission will be handled electronically by means of the easychair system. The submission page is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nmr2018.

Papers already published or accepted for publication at other conferences are also welcome, provided that the original publication is mentioned in a footnote on the first page. In the same vein, papers under review for other conferences can be submitted with a similar indication on their front page. Papers that have already been published or submitted elsewhere may have overlength.

Proceedings
There are no formal proceedings for NMR. The accepted papers will be published as a technical report and will be made available in the Computing Research Repository (CoRR). The papers will be compiled in the homepage of NMR 2018 (http://www4.uma.pt/nmr2018/). The copyright of the papers lies with the authors, and as far as NMR is concerned, they are free to submit to other conferences and workshops as well.
