DESCRIPTION:Explanation is one of the central goal
 s of scientific research and abduction is a type o
 f inference in which explanation plays a key role.
  Thus far, most philosophers will agree. When we c
 onsider more specific claims, however, many questi
 ons are still open to debate. What are the differe
 nt forms of explanation and of abduction? How do t
 hese interrelate? To what extent are they open for
  formal explication? What about the relation to ot
 her notions, such as confirmation, induction, IBE,
  causality, belief revision, ...? The aim of this 
 interdisciplinary workshop is to further our under
 standing of these notions and of their interrelati
 ons.   For more information, see http://www.lrr.ug
 ent.be/  We welcome contributions addressing the c
 onference topics. Authors are invited to submit an
  original, previously unpublished abstract before 
 March 29.
