A special session on Logic and Knowledge Representation will be held during 
the 5th Indian International Conference on Artificial Intelligence 
(IICAI-11). The session invites papers in all areas of Logic and Knowledge 
Representation .

For many years, logic has been studied as an important topic of knowledge 
representation and reasoning. In fact, many AI researchers use logic for 
analyzing the problems and for modeling the reasoning process. In addition, 
the knowledge representation research in AI lead to various extensions of 
logic in other fields such as philosophy, linguistics, cognitive science, 
computer science, etc. The special session on Logic and Knowledge 
Representation provides an ideal platform for exchanging ideas in all the 
areas related to logic and knowledge representation. The topics covered by 
the session include but certainly not limited to:

     * Abduction and Induction
     * Automated Reasoning
     * Belief Revision
     * Complexity of Reasoning
     * Description Logics
     * Foundations of Knowledge Representation
     * Hybrid Reasoning Systems
     * Knowledge-base Systems
     * Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
     * Logic for Databases
     * Logic for Multi-agent Systems
     * Logic for the Semantic Web
     * Logic Programming
     * Logical Formalisms in AI
     * Modal Logic
     * Nonclassical Logic
     * Nonmonotonic Reasoning
     * Object-Oriented Deductive Languages
     * Ontology
     * Ontology Description Languages
     * Order-Sorted Logic
     * Philosophical Logic
     * Proof Theory
     * Reasoning About Actions and Change
     * Temporal Representation and Reasoning


Paper Submission and Publication:
Authors are encouraged to submit the papers for this session as an email 
attachment to the Session Chair given below. The papers should be in 
MSWORD, PDF, or PS format and should be formatted according to the Springer 
Lecture Notes instructions (click here for instructions/sample paper) . The 
length of a paper should not exceed 20 pages. Shorter papers or papers on 
the work currently in progress are also welcome. The first page of the 
paper should contain the title, name(s) of the authors, affiliations, the 
postal and email addresses, and at least 3 keywords appropriate to the 
content of the paper. Further information regarding the paper submission 
can be obtained from the conference website too.

Each paper will be peer reviewed by at least two experts in the topical 
area. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, 
under the title of the session.
