The EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a well-established European conference in the field of AI. The 21st edition of the EPIA conference will take at Instituto Superior Técnico of the University of Lisbon, from August 31st to September 2nd, 2022.
As in previous editions, this international conference is hosted with the patronage of the Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA). The purpose of this conference is to promote research in all areas of AI, covering both theoretical/foundational issues and applications, and the scientific exchange among researchers, engineers and practitioners in related disciplines.
The Program Chairs for EPIA 2022, together with the International Steering Committee, have selected a number of different thematic tracks to be featured on the conference, covering a wide spectrum of AI topics.
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR) is an exciting and well-established field of research. In KRR, a fundamental assumption is that an agent’s knowledge is explicitly represented in a declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated reasoning engines. This assumption, that much of what an agent deals with is knowledge-based, is common in many modern intelligent systems. Consequently, KRR has contributed to the theory and practice of various areas in AI, such as automated planning and natural language understanding, among others, as well as to fields beyond AI, including databases, software engineering, the Semantic Web, computational biology, and the development of software agents.
We welcome papers that contribute to the formal foundations of KRR or that show the applicability of results to implemented or implementable systems. We also welcome papers from other areas that show the use of, or contributions to, the principles or practice of KRR.
