                   Dynamics of Knowledge and Belief

                         Workshop at KI-2007,
    30th Annual German Conference on Artificial Intelligence,
                          September 10, 2007

Knowledge Representation is one of the major topics in AI. Its concerns
are (logical) formalisms and reasoning, with the intention to explore and
model the basics of intelligent behaviour. In recent years, intelligent
agents in the contexts of open environments and multi agent systems have
become the leading paradigm of the field. Consequently, modern KR methods
have to deal not only with static scenarios, but also with dynamic
modifications in knowledge and belief, due to uncertain or incomplete
information, or to changes in the environment. Moreover, agents are often
expected to learn from past experiences, or to  interact with other
agents, making use of their knowledge and adjusting their beliefs during
argumentation.

The focus of this workshop is on dynamic processes concerning any changes
that an agent's state of knowledge and belief may undergo. Modelling the
continuous cycle of acquiring and applying  knowledge is of particular
interest, so work on relating learning and knowledge representation will
be considered particularly useful. Moreover, the effects of belief changes
on the agent's decisions and behaviour is also within the scope of the
workshop.

We welcome papers on the following and any related topics:
      * Belief revision and belief update
      * Nonmonotonic reasoning
      * Learning and knowledge discovery in data
      * Argumentation theories
      * Decision theory and preferences
      * Action and change
