Dr. Kai Sauerwald

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Artificial Intelligence Group chaired by Matthias Thimm of the FernUniversität in Hagen, Germany.

My general research area is the foundations of artificial intelligence. I publish mainly with a focus on knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR), specifically on the dynamics of knowledge and belief, forgetting, cognitive aspects of KRR and non-monotonic reasoning.

Organizational Activities: Recently, I have become the German Representative at the IFIP Technical Committee 12 (Artificial Intelligence).

Conference Organization 2025: I am involved in the organization of several scientific events:

• PC co-chair of the workshop on Foundations and Future of Change in Artificial Intelligence (FCAI 2025), which will be co-located with ECAI 2025. Visit the FCAI 2025 webpage for more information.
• PC co-chair and local co-chair of ECSQARU 2025. Visit the ECSQARU 2025 for more information.
• Doctoral consortium co-chair of KR 2025. Visit the KR 2025 webpage for more information.
• Publicity co-chair of Declarative AI 2025, which includes RuleML+RR 2025. Visit the Declarative 2025 webpage for more information.

Invited Talk: At the Advanced Seminar at the Institute for Theoretical Computer Science at the University of Hannover. Thanks to Prof. Heribert Vollmer and Prof. Arne Meier for inviting me!

Conference Organization: The organization of the special track on Uncertain Reasoning (UR) at FLAIRS-37 was a great success. Two of the track papers were nominated for the best student paper award (from which one won the best student paper award), and one paper was nominated for the best paper award.
