[DMANET] CFP: The 3rd International Conference on Logic and Argumentation (CLAR 2020), 6-9 April 2020, Hangzhou, China

CFP: The 3rd International Conference on Logic and Argumentation (CLAR
2020), 6-9 April 2020, Hangzhou, China

Proceedings: on site Springer LNAI, post: Journal of Logic and Computation

Deadline: November 30, 2019


The 3rd International Conference on Logic and Argumentation (CLAR 2020)
invites interdisciplinary contributions from logic, artificial
intelligence, philosophy, computer science, linguistics, law, and other
areas studying logic and formal argumentation.

CLAR 2020 will be held in Hangzhou, 6-9 April 2020, as part of the
International Conferences on Logic and Artificial Intelligence at Zhejiang
University (ZJULogAI 2020). With a special focus on "methods and tools for
explainable AI", a core objective of ZJULogAI is to present the latest
developments and progress made on the crucial question of how to make AI
more transparent, trustworthy and accountable, both in China as well as in
the rest of the world. All participants to CLAR 2020 have access to all
other events of ZJULogAI as well.

Online LNAI proceedings with accepted submissions will be available during
the conference, and extended versions will be published after the
conference in a special issue of the Journal of Logic and Computation.

CLAR 2020 conference highlights recent advances in the two fields of logic
and argumentation and promotes communication between researchers in logic
and argumentation within and outside China. Previous conferences can be
