35th International Workshop on Qualitative Reasoning

Three types of submissions are sought: theory, application, and demo oriented:

• Theory contributions present novel ideas regarding representation and reasoning, and position this result in the context of known QR theory.
• Application contributions present the use and evaluation of software implementing QR theory in actual real-world contexts. Evaluations can range from technology oriented (e.g. address software functioning in operational contexts) to human oriented (e.g. address usability or stakeholders and market related issues).
• Demos focus on (novel) implementations of QR theory in software. They can be proof of concepts, but also mature products. Contributions typically address the extras needed to realize the implementation.

Format:

• Submissions must be submitted via EasyChair (see below) before the submission deadline.
• Submissions must be in PDF format and not exceed 8 pages.
• Submissions should be formatted according to the IJCAI author guidelines.
• Submissions do not need to be anonymized; the author list and the author publications should read as they will in the camera-ready copy.

We also invite authors who recently published results of interest to the QR community to submit a short summary paper which highlights the results and explains their relevance to QR.

Review Process

All submissions will be evaluated and selected according to their quality, significance, originality, and potential to generate discussion. Each contribution will be reviewed by at least two referees from the QR2022 Program Committee. Papers may be accepted for either oral or poster presentation. The accepted papers will be published as a collection of Working papers. The format of the publication will be discussed with the authors after acceptance (e.g. CEUR-ws.org or on-line without ISSN).
