In addition, there are two surveys, one by the volume editors intended as a guide to this book and another by Shoham and Cousins on mental attitudes. In total, the volume provides a well-organized report on current research in knowledge representation, which is one of the central subfields of AI. Except the surveys, the papers grew out of a workshop on Theoretical Foundations of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, held in conjunction with the 10th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI-92) in Vienna in August 1992 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/3-540-58107-3 ER -
