CALL FOR PAPERS
SIPTA session on imprecise probabilities
Special Session to be held as part of
IPMU-2010, 13-th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION
PROCESSING AND MANAGEMENT OF UNCERTAINTY IN KNOWLEDGEBASED
SYSTEMS
June 28-July 2, 2010 – Dortmund, Germany
-----------------------------------------------------------
Imprecise probability is understood in a very wide sense. It is used as
a generic term to cover all mathematical models which measure chance or
uncertainty without sharp numerical probabilities. It includes both
qualitative (comparative probability, partial preference orderings, …)
and quantitative modes (interval probabilities, belief functions, upper
and lower 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.
The special session is open to contributions on all aspects of imprecise
probability. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-models of coherent imprecise assessments
-sets of probability measures, credal sets
- interval-valued probabilities
- non-additive set functions
- qualitative reasoning about uncertainty
- limit laws for imprecise probabilities
- physical models of imprecise probability
- philosophical foundations for imprecise probabilities
- elicitation techniques for imprecise probabilities
- robust statistics
- data mining with imprecise probabilities
- decision making with imprecise probabilities
- algorithms for manipulating imprecise probabilities
- credal classification
- applications.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
To prepare a submission, please follow the same instructions as for the
main conference (see
http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~ipmu2010/instructions.html).
Special session papers will be handled in the same way as regular
papers. In particular, they will be peer-reviewed by the conference
program committee on the basis of the same criteria. When submitting the
paper through the conference management system, authors are asked to
indicate that their contribution is suitable to this special session
related to Belief function theory and knowledge management.

Mar 07, 2010: Notification of acceptance
Apr 4, 2010: Final camera ready copies due
