Preface
The 30th Annual German Conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI-2007) took place in the University of Osnabr¨ uck, September 10–13, 2007. In this volume, you will find papers or abstracts of its six invited talks, 25 full papers, and 21 posters. The full papers were selected from 81 submissions, resulting in an acceptance rate of 32%. As usual at a KI conference, an entire day was reserved for targeted workshops – ten of them this year – and two tutorials. They are not covered in this volume, but the conference Web site www.ki2007.uos.de will keep providing information and references to their contents. Some topic clusters are apparent in the overall conference program, which reflect recent trends in AI research, convolved with foci of work in Germany and Europe. Examples are learning and data mining, robotics and perception, knowledge representation and reasoning, planning and search – all of them including a healthy number of approaches dealing with uncertainty, contradiction, and incompleteness of knowledge. All in all, KI-2007 provided a cross section
