The biannual ECSQARU conferences are a major forum for advances in the
theory and practice of reasoning under uncertainty. Contributors are
expected to come both from researchers interested in advancing the
technology and from practitioners who are using uncertainty techniques
in applications. The scope of ECSQARU includes, but is not limited to,
fundamental issues, representation, inference, learning, and decision
making in qualitative and numeric paradigms.
Previous ECSQARU conferences have been held in Marseille (1991), Granada
(1993), Fribourg (1995), Bonn (1997), London (1999), Toulouse (2001),
Aalborg (2003), Barcelona (2005) and Hammamet (2007).
The Tenth European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to
Reasoning with Uncertainty (ECSQARU 2009) will be held in Verona, Italy,
on July 1-3, 2009.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
------------------------------------------------
* Foundations of reasoning and decision making under uncertainty
* Default reasoning
* Bayesian networks
* Belief revision & inconsistency handling
* Causal networks
* Argumentation systems
* Decision theory and graphs
* Learning for uncertainty formalisms
* Markov decision processes
* Automated planning & acting
* Game theoretic agents
* Information fusion
* Belief functions
* Uncertainty & data mining
* Fuzzy sets and Fuzzy Logic
* Classification & clustering
* Rough sets
* Algorithms for uncertain inference
* Possibility theory
* Empirical studies of algorithms
* Logics for reasoning under uncertainty
* Implementation and applications of uncertain systems
Submissions:
------------
The proceedings of ECSQARU 2009 will be published in the Lecture Notes
in Computer Science series of Springer. Authors are requested to prepare
their papers in the LNCS/LNAI format. Papers must not exceed 12 pages
and must be submitted as PDF electronically. Papers that are not in the
stated format or that exceed the page limit will not be reviewed.
Submitted papers will be evaluated by peer review on the basis of
originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of
exposition. All accepted papers will be included in the conference
proceedings. Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend the
conference and to make oral presentations about their work.
