     The 21st International Workshop on Nonmonotonic Reasoning (NMR)
         http://nmr.krportal.org/2023/

          September 2-4, 2023, Rhodes, Greece


NMR 2023 is part of the 20th International Conference on Principles of 
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR2023), https://kr.org/KR2023/.


NMR is the premier forum for results in the area of nonmonotonic 
reasoning. Its aim is to bring together active researchers in this broad 
field within knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR), including 
belief revision, uncertain reasoning, reasoning about actions, planning, 
logic programming, preferences, deontic reasoning, argumentation, 
causality, and many other related topics including systems and 
applications (see NMR page, https://nmr.cs.tu-dortmund.de/).

NMR has a long history - it started in 1984 and has been held every two 
years until 2020 and then every year. Recent previous NMR workshops were 
held in Haifa (2022), Hanoi (virtual, 2021), in Rhodes (virtual, 2020), 
Tempe (2018) and Cape Town (2016). Since 2020 NMR is being held 
annually. NMR workshops are usually co-located with the KR conferences 
(kr.org).

As in previous editions, NMR 2023 aims to foster connections between the 
different subareas of nonmonotonic reasoning and provide a forum for 
emerging topics. We especially invite papers on systems and 
applications, as well as position papers and papers addressing benchmark 
issues. The workshop will be structured by topical sessions fitting to 
the scopes of accepted papers.

The workshop will be held in Rhodes, Greece, in September 2-4, 2023. 
Workshop activities will include invited talks and presentations of 
technical papers.


-- Submission Information --

  There are two types of submissions:

     Full papers. Full papers should be at most 10 pages including 
references, figures and appendices, if any. Papers already published or 
accepted for publication at other conferences are also welcome, provided 
that the original publication is mentioned in a footnote on the first 
page and the submission at NMR falls within the authors’ rights. In the 
same vein, papers under review for other conferences can be submitted 
with a similar indication on their front page.
     Extended Abstracts. Extended abstracts should be at most 3 pages. 
The abstracts should introduce work that has recently been published or 
is under review, or ongoing research at an advanced stage. We highly 
encourage to attach to the submission a preprint/postprint or a 
technical report. Such extra material will be read at the discretion of 
the reviewers. Submitting already published material may require a 
permission by the copyright holder.

All submissions should be formatted in CEUR style (2-column style) 
without enabled header and footer. The author kit can be found at 
http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip. Papers must be submitted in PDF 
only. Submission will be through the EasyChair conference system. Please 
submit via Easychair to: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=nmr2023

-- Workshop Proceedings --

The accepted papers will be made available electronically in the CEUR 
Workshop Proceedings series (http://ceur-ws.org/). The copyright of 
papers remains with the authors.
