THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON
IMPRECISE PROBABILITIES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS
Cornell University

26 - 29 June 2001
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS: DEADLINE FOR PAPER SUBMISSION = 15 JANUARI 2001
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Encouraged by the success of the First International Symposium on
Imprecise Probabilities and Their Applications (ISIPTA '99, Ghent,
Belgium, 30 June - 2 July 1999, see the web site
http://ippserv.rug.ac.be/~isipta99 for more detailed information; see
http://decsai.ugr.es/~smc/isipta99/proc/proceedings.html for an
electronic version of the proceedings), we have decided to create a
biennial series of ISIPTA conferences on imprecise probabilities, each
to take place at a different location.
The Second International Symposium on Imprecise Probabilities and Their
Applications (ISIPTA '01), will be held at Cornell University, Ithaca,
NY, USA, from 26 till 29 June 2001.

What is imprecise probability?
- ------------------------------
Imprecise probability is a generic term for the many mathematical models
which measure chance or uncertainty without sharp numerical
probabilities. These models include belief functions, Choquet
capacities, comparative probability orderings, convex sets of
probability measures, fuzzy measures, interval-valued probabilities,
possibility measures, plausibility measures, and upper and lower
expectations or previsions. Such 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. See the IPP
web site <http://ippserv.rug.ac.be> for introductory articles about
imprecise probabilities, an extensive bibliography, and a collection of
survey articles on special types of imprecise probability models.
Symposium language
- ------------------
The working language of the symposium will be English. No simultaneous
translation in other languages will be available.
Preregistration
- ---------------
If you are planning to submit a paper or want to participate in the
symposium, or if you want to receive more information ISIPTA '01, you
can fill out the electronic preregistration form on the symposium web
site (http://ippserv.rug.ac.be/~isipta01).
How to submit a paper
- ---------------------
Papers are encouraged on all aspects of imprecise probability and its
applications. Those wishing to present a paper at the symposium should
submit a short paper of 4-10 pages electronically, by 15 January 2001.
LaTeX and Word style files will be made available on the symposium web
site (http://ippserv.rug.ac.be/~isipta01) in the coming days. The
Program Committee will decide which of these papers are accepted. The
successful authors will then be invited to submit a final version of
their paper, for publication in a volume of symposium proceedings (which
will be available as a published book before the start of the
symposium).
Each accepted paper will be given the opportunity for both a brief oral
presentation as well as a poster session.
All the papers that are accepted for the symposium will also be made
available on our web site (http://ippserv.rug.ac.be/~isipta01) well
before the symposium. This will allow the participants to study the
papers in some detail before they are actually presented.
