ECAI-98 Workshop on
Practical Reasoning and Rationality
Call for Papers
To be held in Brighton, England, on 24 August 1998
(with an
extension to 25th August if there is sufficient interest)
A comprehensive logical theory of practical reasoning and rationality will include theoretical reasoning (reasoning about what is the case, involving informational attitudes such as beliefs and knowledge), practical reasoning (reasoning about what to do, involving motivational attitudes such as desires, goals, intentions, and obligations), and reasoning about actions and their effects.
Current work has tended to focus on particular aspects of the problem; including nonmonotonic logics, belief revision, probabilistic logics, argumentation, logics for belief, action, obligation, and preference, and logics for reasoning about action and change. This is the third in a series of workshops which aims to promote the integration of this work.
The focus of this workshop will be on the logical formalisation of the components of practical rationality; such as plans, goals, intentions, preferences, obligations and actions.
The programme will consist of paper presentations and discussion sessions.
