Preface This volume contains the papers presented at the Ninth International Conference on Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and Reasoning (LPAR 2002), held on October 14–18, 2002, at the University of Tbilisi (Georgia), together with the Third International Workshop on Implementation of Logics. There were 68 submissions, of which eight belonged to the special submission category of experimental papers, intended to describe implementations or comparisons of systems, or experiments with systems. Each submission was reviewed by at least three program committee members and an electronic program committee meeting was held via the Internet. The number of submissions and short reviewing period caused a large amount of work, and we are very grateful to the other 22 PC members for their efficiency and for the quality of their reviews and discussions. Finally, the committee deci
