Logics have, for many years, laid claim to providing a formal basis for the study and development of applications and systems in arti?cial intelligence. With the depth and maturity of formalisms, methodologies and logic-based systems - day, this claim is stronger than ever. The European Conference on Logics in Arti?cial Intelligence (or Journ ees Europ eennes sur la Logique en Intelligence Arti?cielle, 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 ?eld. Since then, JELIA has been organized biennially, with English as its o?cial language, previous meetings taking place in Rosco?, France (1988), Amsterdam, Nether- lands (1990), Berlin, Germany (1992), York, UK (1994), Evora, Portugal (1996), Dagstuhl, Germany(1998), M alaga, Spain(2000)andCosenza, Italy(2002). The increasinginterestinthisforum, itsinternationallevelwithgrowingparticipation from researchers outside Europe, and the overall technical quality have turned JELIA into a major biennial forum for the discussion of logic-based approaches to arti?cial intelligence. The 9th European Conference on Logics in AI, JELIA 2004, took place in Lisbon, Portugal, between the 27th and the 30th of September 2004, and was hosted by the Universidade Nova de Lisboa. Its technical program comprised 3 invited talks, by Francesca Rossi, Franz Baader, and Bernhard Nebel, and the presentationof52refereedtechnicalarticlesselectedbytheProgramCommittee among the 144 that were submitted, a number which in our opinion clearly indicates that the research area of logics in AI is one with a great and increasing interest."

This book presents the refereed proceedings of the Sixth European Workshop on Logics in Artificial Intelligence, JELIA '96, held in Evora, Portugal in September/October 1996.
The 25 revised full papers included together with three invited papers were selected from 57 submissions. Many relevant aspects of AI logics are addressed. The papers are organized in sections on automated reasoning, modal logics, applications, nonmonotonic reasoning, default logics, logic programming, temporal and spatial logics, and belief revision and paraconsistency.

As the first monograph in the field, this state-of-the-art survey provides a rigorous presentation of logic programs as representational and reasoning tools.
The authors used this book successfully as a text for a MSc course. The use of logic programming for various types of reasoning, particularly for nonmonotonic reasoning, is thoroughly investigated and illustrated and a variety of knowledge representation formalisms, like default negation, integrity constraints, default rules, etc., are treated in depth. Besides the main text, detailed introductory background and motivational information is included together with a bibliography listing 215 entries as well as the listing of the Prolog interpreter used in the text for running numerous examples.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages, PADL 2019, held in Lisbon, Portugal, in January 2019. The 14 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 35 submissions. The papers present original work emphasizing novel applications and implementation techniques for all forms of declarative concepts, including logic, constraint, and functional languages.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International RuleML Symposium, RuleML 2016, held in New York, NY, USA during July 2016. The 19 full papers, 1 short paper, 2 keynote abstracts, 2 invited tutorial papers, 1 invited standard paper, presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 36 submissions. RuleML is a leading conference aiming to build bridges between academia and industry in the field of rules and its applications, especially as part of the semantic technology stack. It is devoted to rule-based programming and rule-based systems including production rule systems, logic programming rule engines, and business rule engines and business rule management systems, Semantic Web rule languages and rule standards and technologies, and research on inference rules, transformation rules, decision rules, and ECA rules.

Here are the proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Principles and Practice of Semantic Web Reasoning, PPSWR 2006. The book presents 14 revised full papers together with 1 invited talk and 6 system demonstrations, addressing major aspects of semantic Web research, namely forms of reasoning with a strong interest in rule-based languages and methods. Coverage includes theoretical work on reasoning methods, concrete reasoning methods and query languages, and practical applications.
