******************************************************************************
The capability of reasoning with uncertain and/or incomplete
information is a crucial feature both of human and machine
intelligence. The Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning at the
Eighteenth International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research
Symposium (FLAIRS) Conference seeks to bring together researchers
working on broad issues related to reasoning under uncertainty. This
track was started in 1996 and has become an annual event at FLAIRS. In
2003 the track was merged with the Special Track on Imprecise and
Indeterminate Probabilities.
Papers on all aspects of uncertain reasoning and imprecise probabilities
are solicited.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Uncertain reasoning and databases
* Uncertain reasoning formalisms, calculi and methodologies
* Reasoning with probability, possibility, fuzzy logic, belief functions,
argumentation, rough sets, and probability logics
* Modelling and reasoning using imprecise and indeterminate information,
* using for instance: Choquet capacities, comparative orderings, convex
sets of measures,
and interval-valued probabilities
* Exact, approximate and qualitative uncertain reasoning
* Nonmonotonic reasoning and belief revision
* Multi-agent uncertain reasoning and decision making
* Decision-theoretic planning and Markov decision process
* Temporal reasoning and uncertainty
* Construction of models from elicitation, data mining and knowledge
discovery
* Uncertain reasoning in information retrieval, filtering, fusion,
diagnosis,
prediction, and situation assessment
* Practical applications of uncertain reasoning
Paper Submission and Publication
- ---------------------------------
Paper format and submission details are available at
http://earth.cs.ccsu.edu/~flairs/submission.html
Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the
conference proceedings which will be published by AAAI Press.
Selected authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their
papers to a special issue of the International Journal on Artificial
Intelligence Tools (IJAIT) to be published in 2006.
In addition, we have arranged a special issue of the International Journal
of
Approximate Reasoning, devoted to extended and revised papers selected from
the special
track on uncertain reasoning.
