Knowledge representation and reasoning for improving and enhancing inductive processing,
Discussions and positions on novel hybrid methods of deductive and inductive reasoning,
Evaluation and comparison of existing deductive and inductive methods,
Hybridizing logic programming paradigms with procedural approaches,
Novel contexts of application for hybrid deductive and inductive systems,
Neuro-symbolic approach to reasoning and learning.
Submissions and Review Process
Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts in PDF via the EasyChair system at the link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hydra2024.
The workshop welcomes both full papers, possibly already submitted to other conferences or journals, and short papers, which are suggested for presenting work in progress, extended abstracts, software prototypes, or general overviews of research projects. The workshop also welcomes position and discussion papers.
All submissions must be in PDF format, written in English, and formatted according to the LNCS format (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines). Full papers should not exceed 13 pages (including bibliography); short, position, and discussion papers should not exceed 6 pages (including bibliography). To ease the reviewing process, the authors of full papers may add an appendix (although reviewers are not required to consider it in their evaluation).
Proceedings and post-Proceedings
All accepted original contributions (both full and short) are being considered for publication in the CCIS book series.
If a sufficient number of high-quality papers are accepted, Chairs will consider the publication of a selection on an international journal special issue. However, should there be a limited number of accepted papers, the proceedings will be published on CEUR-WS.org.
Non-original communications will be given visibility on the workshop website including a link to the original publication, if already published.
