ISIPTA '03
3rd International Symposium on Imprecise Probabilities and Their Applications
Last Call for Papers
July 14-17, 2003
Lugano, Switzerland
http://www.sipta.org/~isipta03
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ISIPTA meetings are one of the primary international forums to
present and discuss new results on the theory and applications of
imprecise probabilities. Imprecise probability has a wide scope, being
a generic term for the many mathematical or statistical models which
measure chance or uncertainty without sharp numerical
probabilities. These models include belief functions, Choquet
capacities, comparative probability orderings, convex sets of
probability measures, fuzzy measures, interval-valued probabilities,
possibility measures, plausibility measures, and upper and lower
expectations or 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.
Themes of the symposium
- -----------------------
Although the third symposium will be open to contributions on all
aspects of imprecise probability, three main themes will be
emphasised: inference, algorithms and computational complexity, real
applications. http://www.sipta.org/~isipta03/themes.html
