The aim of the workshop is to bring together active researchers interested in nonmonotonic reasoning to discuss current research, results, and problems of both theoretical and practical nature. The format of this workshop is different from earlier nonmonotonic reasoning workshops. NM'98 will consist of five specialized one day workshops to be held at least partly in parallel. The specialized workshops will be surrounded by a plenary program consisting of invited talks and panels. Invited speakers are B. Kowalski, I. Levi, J. McCarthy, D. Roth, and E. Sandewall.
Participation is by invitation.
Those wishing to attend without submitting a paper should send a statement of interest with a short description of research interests and recent work to one of the NM'98 Co-Chairs. IMS must support users in achieving their goals and performing their tasks. To design and materialize a presentation, IMSs must reason about different communication means, the function of presentations, and the context of interactions with users. The target audience includes researchers in collaborative systems, personal assistants, intelligent multimedia presentation systems, adaptive interfaces, multimedia information retrieval, and intelligent integration of information. Ensuring reliability and enhancing quality of KBS are critical factors for their successful deployment in real-world applications.
