Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Logics have provided a formal basis for the study and development of systems and applications in Artificial Intelligence. In particular, logic became relevant to AI research thanks to fast satisfiability solvers for solving combinatorial search problems. Logic-based AI approaches have contributed to knowledge representation, natural language understanding, automated planning and commonsense reasoning. Nowadays, they are fundamental in the increasing request of explainability, comprehensibility and trustworthy to improve statistical-based AI systems. Hence, logic-based approaches are of paramount importance to identify promising research perspectives. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect state-of-the-art research on the topic of Logic-based AI approaches and technologies, and their main application areas.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
