Special Issue arising from the 9th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence, JELIA'2004

摘要

This special issue of the Journal of Applied Logic contains extended versions of a selection of papers presented at the 9th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence, JELIA'04, which took place in Lisbon, Portugal, between the 27th and the 30th of September 2004, and was hosted by the Universidade Nova de Lisboa. The European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence (or Journees Europeennes sur la Logique en Intelligence Artificielle—JELIA) began back in 1988, as a workshop, in response to the need for a European forum for the discussion of emerging work in this field. Since then, JELIA has been organised biennially. The increasing interest in this forum, its international level with growing participation from researchers outside Europe, and the overall technical quality, has turned JELIA into a major biennial forum for the discussion of logic-based approaches to Artificial Intelligence.
