This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 21st International Conference on Applications of Declarative Programming and Knowledge Management, INAP 2017, the 31st Workshop on Logic Programming, WLP 2017, and the 25th Workshop on Functional and (Constraint) Logic Programming, WFLP 2017. The 12 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions. The contributions were organized in topical sections named: constraints; declarative systems; and functional and logic programming.

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 22nd International Conference on Applications of Declarative Programming and Knowledge Management, INAP 2019, the 33rd Workshop on Logic Programming, WLP 2019, and the 27th Workshop on Functional and (Constraint) Logic Programming, WFLP 2019.The 15 full papers and 1 short paper presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. The contributions present current research activities in the areas of declarative languages and compilation techniques, in particular for constraint-based, logical and functional languages and their extensions, as well as discuss new approaches and key findings in constraint-solving, knowledge representation, and reasoning techniques.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 46th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence, KI 2023, which took place in Berlin, Germany, in September 2023.The 14 full and 5 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 78 submissions.

This volume contains the papers presented at the 3rd International Symposium onFoundationsofInformationandKnowledgeSystems(FoIKS2004),whichwas held in Castle Wilhelminenberg, Vienna, Austria, from February 17th to 20th, 2004. FoIKS is a biennial event focussing on theoretical foundations of information and knowledge systems. It aims at bringing together researchers working on the theoretical foundations of information and knowledge systems and attracting researchers working in mathematical ?elds such as discrete mathematics, c- binatorics, logics, and ?nite model theory who are interested in applying their theories to research on database and knowledge base theory. FoIKS took up the tradition of the conference series Mathematical Fun- mentals of Database Systems (MFDBS) which enabled East-West collaboration in the ?eld of database theory. The ?rst FoIKS symposium was held in Burg, Spreewald (Germany) in 2000, and the second FoIKS symposium was held in SalzauCastle(Germany)in2002.FormerMFDBSconferenceswereheldinDr- den (Germany) in 1987, Visegr' ad (Hungary) in 1989, and in Rostock (Germany) in 1991.Proceedings of these previous events were published by Springer-Verlag as volumes 305, 364, 495, 1762, and 2284 of the LNCS series, respectively. In addition the FoIKS symposium was intended to be a forum for intensive discussions. For this reason the time slots for long and short contributions were 50 and 30 minutes, respectively, followed by 20 and 10 minutes for discussions, respectively. Furthermore, participants were asked in advance to prepare to act as correspondents for the contributions of other authors. There were also special sessions for the presentation and discussion of open research problems.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint post-proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Applications of Declarative Programming and Knowledge Management, INAP 2004, and the 18th Workshop on Logic Programming, WLP 2004, held jointly in Potsdam, Germany in March 2004.The 18 revised full papers presented together with an invited tutorial lecture and an invited paper were selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on knowledge management and decision support, constraint programming and constraint solving, and declarative programming and Web-based systems.

Knowledge means power – but only if it is available at the right time, the right place, and in the hands of the right people. Structured, engineered, repeatable methodsto gather,transport,andapplyknowledgearecollectivelycalledkno- edge management. Declarative programming strives for the ideal of programming by wish: the user states what he or she wants, and the computer ?gures out how to achieve it. Thus, declarative programming splits into two separate parts: methods for humans on how to write wishes, and algorithms for computers that ful?l these wishes. Knowledgemanagementisnowrecognizedasaneconomickeyfactor.Decl- ative programming has matured far beyond the research stage of a merely - teresting formal logic model to one of the powerful tools in computer science. Nowadays,no professionalactivity isthinkable without knowledgemanagement, and companies increasingly need to document their business processes. Here, declarative programming carries the promise to be a shortcut to not only do- menting but also implementing knowledge-based enterprises. This volume presents a selection of papers presented at the 16th Inter- tional Conference on Applications of Declarative Programming and Knowledge Management, INAP 2005,held in October 2005 at Waseda University, Fukuoka, Japan. These papers re?ect a snapshot of ongoing research and current app- cations in knowledge management and declarative programming. Further, they provide reality checks and many pointers for readers who consider introducing related technologies into their products or working environments.

If you think of knowledge streams as supply, manufacturing, ordistribution chains, you will see that it all ?ts together.

This volume constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Applications of Declarative Programming and Knowledge Management, INAP 2007, and the 21st Workshop on Logic Programming, WLP 2007, held in Würzburg, Germany, during October 4-6, 2007. The 16 thoroughly revised full papers presented together with 1 invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The topics covered are constraints; databases and data mining; extensions of logic programming; and system demonstrations.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conferenceproceedings of the 18th International Conference on Applications ofDeclarative Programming and Knowledge Management, INAP 2009, held inÉvora, Portugal, in November 2009.The 12 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited talks werecarefully reviewed and selected during two rounds of reviewing andimprovement. The conference comprehensively covers the impactof programmable logic solvers in the internet society, its underlyingtechnologies, and leading edge applications in industry, commerce,government, and societal services. The topics of the selected papersconcentrate on three currently important fields: foundations andextensions of logic programming, databases and query languages,declarative programming with logic languages, and applications thereof.

This book constitutes revised selected papers of the 19th International Conference on Applications of Declarative Programming and Knowledge Management, INAP 2011, and the 25th Workshop on Logic Programming, WLP 2011, held in Vienna, Austria, in September 2011. The 19 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 papers presented at the conference and initially a total of 35 submissions. The book also contains the papers of two invited talks. The papers are organized in topical sections on languages; answer-set programming and abductive reasoning; constraints and logic programming; answer-set programming and model expansion; application papers; and system descriptions.

Das Buch ‘KI und Bots im Alltag’ bietet fundiertes Fachwissen, vermittelt die Grundlagen der KI ohne technischen Jargon und beleuchtet ihre vielfältigen Anwendungen im Alltag. Ein Kapitel über Ethik und die Zukunft der KI regt zum kritischen Nachdenken an und spiegelt aktuelle Diskussionen wider. Das Buch ist eine wertvolle Ressource für Leser, die sich einen Überblick und ein tieferes Verständnis der KI erschließen möchten.Durch reale Beispiele und praxisnahe Szenarien wird gezeigt, wie tiefgreifend KI das tägliche Leben beeinflusst und gestaltet. Ziel ist es, eine Brücke zwischen der technischen Welt der KI und dem Alltagsverständnis zu schlagen, um ein umfassendes Bild dieser Technologie zu zeichnen.
