        Workshop on  "Updating Non-Monotonic Knowledge Bases"

                 Copenhagen, Denmark, July 28, 2002

                     Affiliated with ICLP 2002
http://floc02.diku.dk/ICLP/

 Significant advances have been made recently in the area of updates of
logic
 programs, and, more generally, updates of non-monotonic knowledge bases
and
 their applications. Numerous papers were published on this subject and
the
 journal Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP) has decided to
publish
 its Special Issue on Change in Knowledge Bases, tentatively scheduled
to
 appear at the beginning of 2003, to which extended versions of the
workshop
 papers might be submitted.

 Given the strong activity and extensive work in this area, the present
workshop,
 scheduled for July 28 during the 2002 Federated Logic Conference, will
help
 provide a further boost to and enhance visibility of the recent active
research on
 non-monotonic KB updates and its applications.

 The workshop seeks high-quality contributions containing original
research
 results or offering an insightful synthesis of past work on various
aspects of
 updating non-monotonic knowledge bases.

 Topics will include, but are not limited to:

     Updates of knowledge bases, in single and multi-agent contexts
     Revision, contradiction removal, preferring, approximating, and
other
               dynamic changes to knowledge bases
     Relationship and/or applications to software development, theory of
actions,
               multi-source knowledge combination, abductive update
planning,
               model-based diagnosis, agent architectures, and others
     Implementation issues and systems.
