International Symposium on INTEGRATED UNCERTAINTY MAMAGEMENT and
APPLICATIONS
「With a Special Event Honoring Professors Michio Sugeno and Hideo
Tanaka's Retirement from Academic Duties」
http://www.jaist.ac.jp/IUM2010/
APRIL 9-11, 2010 ("Sakura Holiday")
Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Ishikawa, JAPAN
OBJECTIVES and TOPICS
Solving practical problems often requires the integration of information and
knowledge from many different sources and further takes uncertainty and
impreciseness into account. This gives rise to the demand for methods and
techniques of managing and integrating various types of uncertainty within a
coherent framework, so as to ultimately improve the solution to any such
complex problem in practice. This Symposium aims to provide a forum for
exchanges of research results, ideas for and experience of application among
researchers and practitioners involved with all aspects of uncertainty
management.
The list of possible topics includes (but is not limited to):
+ Methodology
- Uncertainty formalisms: Bayesian probability, Dempster-Shafer theory,
imprecise probability, random sets, rough sets, fuzzy sets and
interval-based models
- Information fusion and knowledge integration in uncertain environments
- Decision making under various types of uncertainty
- Aggregation operators for decision making
- Copulas for dependence modelling
- Granular and soft computing
+ Application
- Data mining and knowledge discovery
- Ranking and recommendation systems
- Kansei engineering and evaluation
- Engineering management
- Supply chain management
- Management of services
- Economics and environmental sciences
