CALL FOR PAPERS SIPTA session on imprecise probabilities Special Session to be held as part of IPMU-2010, 13-th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION PROCESSING AND MANAGEMENT OF UNCERTAINTY IN KNOWLEDGEBASED SYSTEMS June 28-July 2, 2010 Dortmund, Germany ----------------------------------------------------------- Imprecise probability is understood in a very wide sense. It is used as a generic term to cover all mathematical models which measure chance or uncertainty without sharp numerical probabilities. It includes both qualitative (comparative probability, partial preference orderings, ...) and quantitative modes (interval probabilities, belief functions, upper and lower previsions, ...). Imprecise probability models are needed in inference problems where the relevant information is scarce, vague or conflicting, and in decision problems where preferences may also be incomplete. The special session is open to contributions on all aspects of imprecise probability. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -models of coherent imprecise assessments -sets of probability measures, credal sets - interval-valued probabilities - non-additive set functions - qualitative reasoning about uncertainty - limit laws for imprecise probabilities - physical models of imprecise probability - philosophical foundations for imprecise probabilities - elicitation techniques for imprecise probabilities - robust statistics - data mining with imprecise probabilities - decision making with imprecise probabilities - algorithms for manipulating imprecise probabilities - credal classification - applications. ----------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS To prepare a submission, please follow the same instructions as for the main conference (see http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~ipmu2010/instructions.html). Special session papers will be handled in the same way as regular papers. In particular, they will be peer-reviewed by the conference program committee on the basis of the same criteria. When submitting the paper through the conference management system, authors are asked to indicate that their contribution is suitable to this special session related to Belief function theory and knowledge management. ----------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES Jan17, 2010: Deadline for paper submission Mar 07, 2010: Notification of acceptance Apr 4, 2010: Final camera ready copies due ----------------------------------------------------------- SESSION ORGANIZER Enrique Miranda University of Oviedo (Spain) mirandaenrique@uniovi.es [ comp.ai is moderated ... your article may take a while to appear. ] Other posts:
