Dynamics, Uncertainty and Reasoning

This volume collects selected papers presented at the Second Chinese Conference on Logic and Argumentation in 2018 held in Hangzhou, China. The papers presented reflect recent advances in logic and argumentation, as well as the connections between the two, and also include invited papers contributed by leading experts in these fields. The book covers a wide variety of topics related to dynamics, uncertainty and reasoning. It continues discussions on the interplay between logic and argumentation which has a long history from Aristotle's ancient logic to very recent formal argumentation in AI.

Reports the recent advances of logic and argumentation Discusses topics that are active areas of interest in the fields of logic and artificial intelligence Presents methods for reasoning about uncertain, conflicting and dynamic information

Beishui Liao, Professor of the Department of Philosophy, Zhejiang University, China. He is an international expert in the field of formal argumentation and their application in multi-agent systems and AI ethics. He has published 3 monographs, and a number of papers in some leading journals such as AIJ, JLC, AMAI, etc., and top conferences such as IJCAI, KR and COMMA, etc.
Thomas Ågotnes, Professor of the Department of Information Science and Media Studies, University of Bergen, Norway. He is famous for his researches in Logic and Multi-agent Systems, with numerous high quality publications in these areas. A main focus is logic-based knowledge representation and reasoning, in particular formalizing different forms of interaction.
Yi N. Wang, Associate Professor of the Department of Philosophy, Zhejiang University, China. He is one of the most active young logicians in China. Most of his work is related to modal logic, logicsfor agents and multi-agent systems, as well as logic and social networks. His papers have been published in some top journals/conferences such as AIJ, IJCAI, TARK, etc.

Résumé
"This book has depicted a wide prospect concerning with the question of how to reason in a dynamic world with uncertainty. ... Therefore, for those who expect to get to know the trends of relevant research directions, this book can provide an overview. Meanwhile, this book may also be helpful to the relevant researchers by offering the recent advances in their fields. ... Hence it is a recommendable material for readers who are interested in such topics." (Z. Yu, Studia Logica, Vol. 111 (1), 2023)
