--------------------------------------

   * probabilistic logic programming formalisms
   * parameter estimation
   * statistical inference
   * implementations
   * structure learning
   * reasoning with uncertainty

   * stochastic and randomised algorithms
   * probabilistic knowledge representation and reasoning
   * constraints in statistical inference
   * applications, such as
   * * bioinformatics
