Welcome to the 13th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning to be held in Rome, Italy, June 10-14, 2012.
Co-located with DL 2012, NMR 2012, AI*IA 2012, CILC 2012, KiBP 2012
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR&R) is a well-established and vibrant field of research. KR&R techniques are key drivers of innovation in computer science, and they have led to significant advances in practical applications in a wide range of areas from Artificial Intelligence to Software Engineering. The underlying approach of explicitly representing knowledge in a tangible form, suitable for processing by dedicated reasoning engines, is a fundamental component of many modern intelligent systems. Foundational and applied research in KR&R contributes to the principles of artificial intelligence. It also contributes to the foundations of longstanding fields including automated planning, databases, and software engineering. In recent years KR&R has also derived challenges from new and emerging fields including the semantic web, computational biology, and the development of software agents.
The KR conference series is a leading forum for timely in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the representation and computational management of knowledge. KR 2012 will be a forum for the exchange and discussion of new ideas, issues, and results on the principles and practice of KR&R.
