Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research on all aspects of non-monotonic approaches in logic programming and knowledge representation. Conference topics include, but are not limited to:
Foundations of LPNMR:
Implementation of LPNMR systems:
Applications of LPNMR:
LPNMR 2026 welcomes submissions of long papers (up to 15 pages) or short papers (up to 8 pages) in the following categories:
The indicated number of pages includes the title page, figures, tables, references, and appendix. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published in the Springer’s Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series. Submissions must be written in English, present original research, and be formatted according to Springer’s guidelines and technical instructions available at:

LPNMR 2026 will not accept any paper which, at the time of submission, is under review or has already been published or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference. Authors are also required not to submit their papers elsewhere during LPNMR’s review period. However, these restrictions do not apply to workshops (e.g., ASPOCP 2026) with a limited audience and without archival proceedings.
Two award-winning papers (Best Paper Award and Best Student Paper Award of LPNMR 2026) will be invited for publication in either the Artificial Intelligence Journal or the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, based on the preference of the authors. Additionally, about 5-7 high-quality papers with a logic programming focus will be invited for publication in the journal of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming.
