IJCAI 2013 Workshop WL4AI

Weighted Logics for AI: logic, uncertain beliefs, preferences, partial truth

===============================================================

* First Call for Papers:
-------------------------------
In the last decades there has been an explosion of logical formalisms
capable of dealing with a variety of reasoning tasks that require an
explicit representation of quantitative or qualitative weights associated
with classical or modal logical formulas (in a form or another). The
semantics of the weights refer to a large variety of intended meanings:
belief degrees, preference degrees, truth degrees,trust degrees, etc.
Examples of such weighted formalisms include probabilistic or possibilistic
uncertainty logics, preference logics, fuzzy description logics, different
forms of weighted or fuzzy logic programs under various semantics, weighted
argumentation systems, logics handling inconsistency with weights, logics
for graded BDI agents, logics of trust and reputation, logics for handling
graded emotions, etc.

The underlying logics range from fully compositional systems, like systems
of many-valued or fuzzy logic, to non-compositional ones like modal-like
epistemic logics for reasoning about uncertainty, as probabilistic or
possibilistic logics, or even some combination of them.
In this workshop, continuation of the successful workshop with the same
name held at ECAI-2012, the aim is to bring together researchers to discuss
about the different motivations for the use of weighted logics in AI, the
different types of calculi that are appropriate for these needs, and the
problems that arise when putting them at work. Any paper on a weighted
logic in relation to any of the following topics (but not limited to) with
an AI perspective is welcome:

- argumentation systems
- belief revision
- description logic
- graded BDI agents
- graded emotions
- graded truth
- inconsistency handling
- information fusion
- logic programs
- non monotonic reasoning
- preference modeling
- trust and reputation
- uncertainty
- applications of weighted logics (some discussion on the kind of weighted
logic used should be included in the paper)
Authors are especially encouraged to discuss the intended semantics of
the weights they use in their paper.
