20 International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR2023) 

Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) is a well-established and lively field of research. In KR a fundamental assumption is that an agent’s knowledge is explicitly represented in a declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated reasoning engines. This assumption, that much of what an agent deals with is knowledge-based, is common in many modern intelligent systems. Consequently, KR has contributed to the theory and practice of various areas in AI, including automated planning and natural language understanding, and to fields beyond AI, including databases, verification, software engineering, and robotics. In recent years, KR has contributed also to new and emerging fields, including the semantic web, computational biology, cyber security, and the development of software agents.

The KR conference series is the leading forum for timely in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the representation and computational management of knowledge.

Submission Guidelines

The Main Track, the Applications & Systems Track, as well as the special session on KR & ML and the special session on KR, Robotics & Planning will allow contributions of both regular papers (up to 9 pages) and short papers (up to 4 pages), including abstract, figures, and (if any) but excluding references and acknowledgements, prepared and submitted according to the authors guidelines provided in the submission page.

Both full and short papers must describe original, previously unpublished research, and must not simultaneously be submitted for publication elsewhere. These restrictions do not apply to previously accepted workshop papers with a limited audience and/or without archival proceedings, or to papers uploaded at public repositories (e.g., arXiv).

Papers must be written in English and formatted using the style files provided in the submission page. Submissions are not anonymous (i.e., reviewing will be single-blind) and must be submitted in PDF format, through the EasyChair conference system.

The paper title, author names, contact details, and a brief abstract must be submitted electronically through the EasyChair conference system by the abstract submission deadline. It will be possible to make minor edits to the title and abstract until the full paper submission deadline. Submissions with “placeholder” abstracts will be removed without consideration.

Full papers must be submitted through the same site by the paper submission deadline. The list of author names provided at submission time is final. Authors may not be added to, or removed from, papers following submission.

Authors may optionally submit a separate PDF containing additional information that substantiates the claims made in their paper, such as proof details, additional experimental results, further details on experimental design, etc. If authors wish to make such material available to reviewers, they should do so by submitting a file through EasyChair, rather than by including links or references in their paper. The main paper must be self contained, as the supplementary material will not be published. Reviewers will have the option, but not the obligation, to consult the supplementary material.
