This is a call for papers for a workshop on

KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION FOR AGENTS AND MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS (KRAMAS 2008)

http://www.cs.uu.nl/events/kramas2008/kramas.html

To enhance cross-fertilization between the KR (Knowledge Representation 
and Reasoning) and agent communities, this year's edition of KR features 
a one-day workshop on knowledge representation theories and techniques 
for agent-based systems. Papers are welcomed on KR-related work as 
applied to either single agent or multi-agent systems.

POSSIBLE TOPICS (non-exhaustive list)

- Knowledge Representation & Reasoning aspects of agent systems 
(languages, ontologies, techniques)
- Reasoning about (actions of) agents
- Reasoning methods (such as non-monotonic reasoning, abduction, 
argumentation, diagnosis, planning, decision-making under uncertainty, 
reasoning about preference, ...) applied to agents and multi-agent 
systems (MAS)
- Theory of negotiation, communication, cooperation, group 
decision-making, game theory for MAS
- Cognitive robotics
- Representations of other agents / opponent models
- Logics for intelligent agents and MAS
- Specification and verification techniques for agents
- Automated reasoning techniques for agent-based systems
- Logical foundations of agent-based systems, normative MAS and 
e-institutions
- Formal semantics of agent programming languages
- Formal techniques for agent-oriented programming and agent-oriented 
software engineering

PROCEEDINGS

Informal pre-proceedings will be distributed at the workshop. All good 
quality papers will be included in the post-proceedings to be published 
in the Springer Lecture Notes series (pending confirmation of the 
preliminary agreement we have with Springer).

SUBMISSION DETAILS

Submission of papers describing relevant preliminary or completed but 
unpublished work are invited. Submissions should be formatted using 
Springer's LNCS style (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html)

papers through the Cyberchair URL un the web site 
http://www.cs.uu.nl/events/kramas2008/kramas.html
