2020 IMPORTANT DATES</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>-------------------------</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Paper submission: July 15th 2020</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Notification: July 30th 2020</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Final Versions: August 15th 2020</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Workshop Date: September 17th or 18th 2020</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>------------------------</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Sophisticated causal reasoning has long been prevalent
in human society and</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>continues to have an undeniable impact on the
advancement of science,</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>technology, medicine, and other significant fields.
From the development of</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>ancient tools to modern roots of causal analysis in
business and industry,</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>reasoning about causality and having the ability to
explain causal mechanisms</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>enables us to identify how an outcome of interest came
to be and gives</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>insight into how to bring about, or even prevent,
similar outcomes in future</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>scenarios.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>This workshop aims to bring together researchers and
practitioners of</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>logic programming with a dedicated focus on methods and
trends emerging from</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>the study of causality and explanation. We welcome the
submission of papers on</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>systems, tools, and applications of logic programming
methods for causal</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>reasoning and explanation. In particular, we encourage
submissions presenting</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>recent developments, including works in progress. The
workshop will present</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>the latest research and application developments in
these areas and provide</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>opportunities to discuss current and future research
directions and</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>relationships to other fields (e.g. Machine Learning,
Explainable AI, Diagnosis,</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> Natural Language Processing and Understanding,
Philosophy of Science). An important</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>expected outcome of this workshop is to collect
first-hand feedback from the</tt><tt><span> </span></tt><tt><span
class="il">ICLP</span></tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>community about the role and placement of causal
reasoning and explanation in</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>the landscape of modern computer theory as well as in
the software industry.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>TOPICS</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>------</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Topics of interests include (but are not limited to):</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Modeling causal theories in logic programming</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Formalization of types of causes: sufficient,
necessary, actual, etc</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Causality, temporal reasoning and action theories</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Causality and counterfactual reasoning</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Causality, learning and experimental design</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Causality and probability</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Causality and equivalence</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Causality and ontology</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Relating LP based causality and Causal Networks</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Challenging problems and benchmark examples</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Justifications and argumentation</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Explanations for diagnosis and debugging</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>* Tools, systems and applications</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Submissions must describe original research and be
prepared using the Springer</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>LNAI/LNCS format and should be no longer than 13 pages.</tt><tt><br>
