== IMPORTANT DATES ==

Abstract submission: 22 May 2023   

Paper submission: 25 May 2023    

Notification of acceptance: 10 July 2023 

Camera-ready due:  27 July 2023

The Program Committee of the 18th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence (JELIA 2023) invites the submission of technical papers for the conference that will be held in Dresden, Germany, from the 20th to the 22nd of September of 2023.  

== AIMS AND SCOPE ==

The aim of JELIA 2023 is to bring together active researchers interested in the use of logics in Artificial Intelligence, in order 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Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research in all areas related to the use of logics in Artificial Intelligence, including, but not limited to:

·       Abductive and inductive reasoning

·       Applications of logic-based AI systems

• ·         Argumentation

·       Automated reasoning including satisfiability checking

·        and its extensions        

·       Causality and logics

·       Computational complexity and expressiveness

·       Deontic logic and normative systems

·       Description logics and other logical approaches to

·        ontologies

•  ·       Knowledge representation, reasoning, and compilation

•  ·       Learning and reasoning

•  ·       Logic programming, answer set programming, constraint

·        logic programming

•  ·       Logics in machine learning

•  ·       Logics for uncertain and probabilistic reasoning

•  ·       Logics in multi-agent systems, games, and social choice

•  ·       Neural networks and logic rules

•  ·       Non-classical logics, such as modal, temporal, epistemic, dynamic, spatial, paraconsistent, and hybrid logics

·       Nonmonotonic logics, default logics, conditional logics

·       Planning and diagnosis based on logic

•  ·       Preferences and optimization

•  ·       Reasoning about actions

•  ·       Updates, belief revision, and nonmonotonic reasoning

Submissions describing implemented systems/applications and their application area(s) are also welcome. 

== SPECIAL TRACK ==

This year's conference will include a Special Track on Logics for Explainable and Trustworthy AI. We welcome contributions that describe logic-based approaches to making AI more transparent, safer, and more trustworthy.  The track aims to draw attention to this timely topic and create a space for discussing the role of logic. The papers accepted for the special track will be presented in dedicated sessions at the conference. 

== AWARDS  == 

JELIA 2023 is happy to announce that there will be Best Paper and Best Student Paper Prizes sponsored by Springer, each is a cash prize amounting to EUR 500. The Program Committee will select for this honor the contribution of the highest technical excellence and scientific merit. In the case of the latter award, the primary author of the paper must be a student at the time of submission. 

In previous editions, the best paper of JELIA has been invited to the sister conference track of IJCAI, and the conference series intends to carry on with this tradition. 

The authors of selected contributions of outstanding quality will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to the TPLP journal and will enjoy fast-track reviewing and publication. 

== SUBMISSION DETAILS ==

Submission Site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jelia2023

JELIA 2023 welcomes submissions of long or short papers. All 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; see also the note below.

All submissions should not exceed 13 pages for long papers and 6 pages

for short papers (excluding references, including everything else, for

example figures), and should be written in English. Submissions must be

formatted according to the standard Springer LNCS style (see https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines), and are not anonymous. The conference proceedings of JELIA 2023 will be

published by Springer Verlag in the series 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).
