Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning
Call For Papers


The Twelfth International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research
Symposium Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning seeks to bring together
researchers working on issues related to reasoning under uncertainty.

Papers on all aspects of uncertain reasoning are invited. Papers of
particular interest to this track are:

* practical applications of uncertain reasoning
* inference of models from data, data mining, knowledge
discovery
* construction of probabilistic models
* qualitative probabilistic reasoning
* decision-theoretic planning, POMDPs,
* systems of argumentation or defeasible reasoning,
* probability logics

Submission Information
----------------------

Papers and extended abstracts should not exceed 5000 words, including
abstract and references. All accepted papers will be published in the
conference proceedings. Final papers will consist of at most 5 galley
pages (approximately 10 double spaced pages).

There are four ways to submit a paper to the uncertainty track. In
order of preference these are:

FTP
Email
Snail mail
Fax

Submission by FTP
-----------------

The preferred method for submission is to download a postscript file
by ftp to:

elec.qmw.ac.uk

We suggest that you give your file a name consisting of the first
author's last name followed by a random number. Use up to four digits
to form the random number. This is meant to reduce the possibilities
of duplicate filenames. For example "neufeld177.ps" would be a
possible filename.

Following is an example of an ftp session to submit a postscript file
"tawfik15.ps":
