Dear Colleagues. Recently, we have already announced our tutorial about "Probabilistic Argumentation Systems" held on August 1, 1999, at the IJCAI'99 conference in Stockholm (see http://www.dsv.su.se/ijcai-99/tutorials/d2.html). A paper covering the main statements of our tutorial is now finished. If you are interested in downloading a corresponding pdf-file, it is available at http://www2-iiuf.unifr.ch/tcs/publications/ps/hkl99.pdf It describes the theory of "Probabilistic Argumentation Systems" as a promising approach for non-monotonic reasoning under uncertainty. The theory allows to judge open questions (hypotheses) about the unknown or future world in the light of the given uncertain knowledge. It is based on a novel combination of probability theory and classical logic. It handles the case of total ignorance properly, and there is no restriction to DAGs like in Bayesian inference. More online publications on this and related subjects are available at http://www2-iiuf.unifr.ch/tcs/publications For more information about the IJCAI and the UAI conferences (program, registration, etc.) we refer to http://www.dsv.su.se/ijcai-99/ and http://uai99.iet.com/ Thanks for your interest and best wishes, Rolf Haenni & Juerg Kohlas University of Fribourg, Switzerland http://www2-iiuf.unifr.ch/tcs/ _\|/_ ( o_o ) ***************************oOOo\(_)/oOOo******************************** * \_/ * * Dr. Rolf Haenni __/ __/ __/ __/ _______/ * * Institute of Informatics (IIUF) __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ * * University of Fribourg, Switzerland __/ __/ __/ __/ _____/ * * Phone: ++41 26 300 83 31 __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ * * Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __/ __/ ______/ __/ * * * ************************************************************************ * World Wide Web: http://www2-iiuf.unifr.ch/tcs/rolf.haenni * ************************************************************************ (_) (_)
