Eleventh International Workshop on

Non-Monotonic Reasoning

Lake District, England, May 30 - June 1, 2006


Special session on

NMR Systems and Applications



In recent years, a number of systems implementing non-monotonic reasoning have emerged. Yet favoured by the increasing performance of computer hardware, the performance of the existing systems is already sufficient to enable industrial applications of non-monotonic reasoning. This special session aims to attract researchers interested in systems and applications of non-monotonic reasoning. We particularly encourage papers on NMR techniques which led to the development of significant applications. As well, we are interested not just in papers that apply traditional NMR techniques, but also those that make use of newer or more recent approaches, including applications of answer set programming, belief revision, argumentation, etc.

The session on NMR systems and applications is a one-day event and the technical program forms a part of the Eleventh Non-monotonic Reasoning Workshop (NMR2006), to be held in in the Lake District area of the UK collocated with the KR 2006 conference.
