CFP: SIPTA session on imprecise probabilities at IPMU'2010

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.

Mar 07, 2010: Notification of acceptance
Apr 4, 2010: Final camera ready copies due
