FLAIRS 2001 will be held in beautiful Key West, Florida. Additional information on the conference locale and travel planning can be found at http://www.flairs.com Papers on all aspects of uncertain reasoning are invited. Papers of particular interest to this track are: - - practical applications of uncertain reasoning - - inference of models from data, data mining, knowledge discovery - - construction of probabilistic models - - qualitative probabilistic reasoning - - decision-theoretic planning, POMDPs, - - systems of argumentation or defeasible reasoning, probability logics - - temporal reasoning and uncertainty Special Issue in IEEE Trans SMC - ------------------------------- This year, we also intend to select the best 4-6 papers from our track to be invited for journal submission to a SPECIAL ISSUE on Uncertainty in the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Part B slated to be in press October 2001.
