      SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PRINCIPLES OF KNOWLEDGE
		 REPRESENTATION AND REASONING (KR'98)

			Call for Participation

		    TRENTO, ITALY, JUNE 2-5, 1998
                    -----------------------------

     (With colocated workshops May 30-June 1 and June 6-8, 1998)

Explicit    representations  of   knowledge manipulated   by inference
algorithms provide an important foundation for much work in Artificial
Intelligence, including natural  language dialogue systems, high level
vision, robotics and other knowledge based systems.
The KR conferences  have established themselves  as the  leading forum
for timely,  in-depth  presentation of  progress   in the  theory  and
principles   underlying    the    representation  and    computational
manipulation  of  knowledge. The  traditional  very  high  standard of
papers has been maintained at KR98;  to acknowledge this, a best paper
award will be made,  based primarily on paper  content but also on the
presentation of the paper at the conference.
Expanding  on  that role, KR'98 will  be  a place  for the exchange of
news, issues, and results among the entire community of researchers in
the principles and practices of knowledge representation and reasoning
systems.

We look forward to meeting you in Trento. 

                           Tony Cohn, Len Schubert, and Stuart Shapiro
