                    Sanibel Island, Florida, USA

                        Final Call For Papers 
========================================================================

The Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning (UR) is the oldest track in
FLAIRS conferences, running annually since 1996. The UR'2009 Special
Track at the 22nd International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research
Society Conference (FLAIRS-22) is the 14th in the series. As the past
tracks,  UR'2009 seeks to bring together researchers working on broad
issues related to reasoning under uncertainty. 

Scopes
------
Papers on all aspects of uncertain reasoning are invited. Papers of
particular interest include, but are not limited to: 

*Uncertain reasoning formalisms, calculi and methodologies 

*Reasoning with probability, possibility, fuzzy logic, belief function,
vagueness, granularity, argumentation, rough sets, and probability
logics 

*Modeling and reasoning using imprecise and indeterminate information,
such as: Choquet capacities, comparative orderings, convex sets of
measures, and interval-valued probabilities 

*Exact, approximate and qualitative uncertain reasoning 

*Graphical models of uncertainty 

*Multi-agent uncertain reasoning and decision making 

*Decision-theoretic planning and Markov decision process 

*Temporal reasoning and uncertainty 

*Epistemic logics

*Nonmonotonic and conditional logics

*Similarity-based reasoning

*Construction of models from elicitation, data mining and knowledge
discovery 

*Uncertain reasoning in information retrieval, filtering, fusion,
diagnosis, prediction, situation assessment 

*Practical applications of uncertain reasoning 


Paper Submission and Publication
---------------------------------
Submitted papers must be original, and not submitted concurrently to a
journal or another conference. Full papers may be up to 6 pages, and
poster papers up to 2 pages. Papers must be in AAAI format, and
submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system.  Instructions
on the submission procedure will be available at the UR'2009 website:

http://www.cs.uleth.ca/~grant/ur09/

The proceedings of FLAIRS will be published by the AAAI. An author of
each accepted paper is required to register, attend, and present the
paper at the UR track. 

The International Journal of Approximate Reasoning will publish a
special issue devoted to extended versions of the top papers at the
track.
