Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and published in the proceedings. (We plan to provide a copy of the proceedings to the corresponding author.) We foresee two kinds of slots:

A - Standard papers that will be published in the "Springer Synthese Library" volume [subject to acceptance]. Presentation 30 minutes, including discussion.

B - "Young researcher" papers that will be published in the CEUR proceedings volume. Presentation 20 minutes, including discussion.

All submissions will be reviewed double-blind by 2-3 members of the programme committee.
Submission online at EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ptai2021

Technical note: The EasyChair system will ask you for an "abstract" and a "paper". For us, "abstract" refers to the short abstract (up to 120 words) in plain text, while "paper" refers to the "paper" (800-1000 words) in PDF or plain text. Accordingly, please do not use the check-box "Abstract Only". (The abbreviation "Corr. Auth." stands for "corresponding author".)
