Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research

Special issue on NONMONOTONIC REASONING

Guest Editors: Gerhard Brewka, Victor Marek, Mirek Truszczynski


We are planning a special issue of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research devoted to the progress in nonmonotonic reasoning. The issue is loosely connected to the recent conference "30  years of Nonmonotonic Reasoning" but all relevant submissions will be considered.


We are interested in original papers on any topic concerned with the phenomenon of nonmonotonic reasoning and nonmonotonic logics as they relate to artificial intelligence and, in particular, knowledge representation.

The papers will be subject to the JAIR reviewing process and to JAIR paper acceptance standards. The papers should be submitted using JAIR's regular web-based submission procedure. Each paper should clearly identify that it is submitted for the special issue on nonmonotonic reasoning. This should be done in a note under "Special information for editors" on the submission form (see JAIR's policy on special issues www.jair.org/Special-Issues.pdf).

After submission, please send an email to one of the guest editors for confirmation.

Submission deadline: March 7, 2011.

We expect to finish the reviewing process by May 9, 2011.
