Workshop series on

PRACTICAL REASONING AND RATIONALITY

A comprehensive logical theory of practical reasoning and rationality will include theoretical reasoning (reasoning about what is the case, involving informational attitudes such as beliefs and knowledge), practical reasoning (reasoning about what to do, involving motivational attitudes such as desires, goals, intentions, and obligations), and reasoning about actions and their effects.

Recent and current work has tended to focus on particular aspects of the problem; including nonmonotonic logics, belief revision, probabilistic logics, argumentation, logics for belief, action, obligation, and preference, and logics for reasoning about action and change. This series of workshops aims to promote the integration of this work.

The first workshop in this series was organised as part of the DRUMS II Project (Esprit III BRA 6156) and was held in Windsor in January 1996.

The second workshop was organised in conjunction with the AISB'97 Workshop Series and was held at the University of Manchester in April 1997.

The third workshop will be an ECAI-98 workshop, and will be held in Brighton on 24 August 1998.
