    Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning

    Call For Papers

    The Fourteenth International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Symposium
    Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning seeks to bring together researchers
    working on issues related to reasoning under uncertainty. FLAIRS 2001 will be
    held in beautiful Key West, Florida. Additional information on the conference
    locale and travel planning can be found at http://www.flairs.com
    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
    - - temporal reasoning and uncertainty

    Special Issue in IEEE Trans SMC
    - -------------------------------

    This year, we also intend to select the best 4-6 papers from our track to be
    invited for journal submission to a SPECIAL ISSUE on Uncertainty in the IEEE
    Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Part B slated to be in press
    October 2001.
