The Third Australian Commonsense Reasoning Workshop will be held in
conjunction with the Australian Joint Conference on Artificial
Intelligence in December 1999.

Modeling incompleteness, uncertainty and change are critically important
for commonsense reasoning. Specific topics of interest at the workshop
include, but are not limited to theoretical advances and computational
strategies for:

            belief revision 
            nonmonotonic reasoning 
            reasoning about action 
            possibilistic reasoning 
            knowledge representation 
            conceptual models 
            multi-agent models 
            ontologies 
            implementations 
            applications
