The aim of the workshop is to bring together active researchers interested 
in the area of nonmonotonic reasoning to discuss current research, results, 
and problems of both theoretical and practical nature. 

The format of this workshop is different from earlier nonmonotonic reasoning 
workshops. NM'98 will consist of five specialized one day workshops to be 
held at least partly in parallel. The specialized workshops will be surrounded 
by a plenary program consisting of invited talks and panels. The following 
specialized workshops are part of NM'98:


Formal Aspects and Applications of Nonmonotonic Reasoning 
Chairs: Jim Delgrande, Mirek Truszczynski

Computational Aspects of Nonmonotonic Reasoning 
Chairs: Ilkka Niemel"a, Torsten Schaub
 
Logic Programming 
Chairs: J"urgen Dix, Jorge Lobo

Action and Causality 
Chairs: Vladimir Lifschitz, Hector Geffner 
 
Belief Revision 
Chairs: Hans Rott, Mary-Anne Williams.



Submission of papers is through the specialized workshops only. The deadline 
for submissions is Feb. 23, 1998. 

Participation is by invitation only. Those wishing to attend without submitting 
a paper should send a statement of interest with a short description of 
research interests and recent work to one of the co-chairs.
