CALL FOR PAPERS
ECSQARU-2001
Sixth European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative
Approaches to Reasoning with Uncertainty
September 19-21, 2001, Toulouse, France.
http://www.irit.fr/ECSQARU-2001/Ecsqaru-2001.html
Reasoning under uncertainty is pervasive in all areas of Artificial
Intelligence. The ECSQARU Conferences are, every two years, a major forum
for advances in the theory and practice of reasoning under uncertainty.
Contributions come both from researchers interested in advancing the
technology and from practitioners who are using uncertainty techniques in
applications.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission of papers: March 30th, 2001
Acceptance decision by: May 10th, 2001
Camera ready copy due: June 15th, 2001
The 2001 ECSQARU Conference will be devoted to methods for reasoning and
decision making under uncertainty, including both qualitative and numeric
methods, as applied to problems in artificial intelligence. We seek papers
on fundamental theoretical issues, on representational issues, on
computational techniques, and on applications of uncertain reasoning using
traditional or alternative paradigms of uncertain reasoning. Topics of
interest include (but are not limited to):
foundations of uncertainty concepts,
reasoning and decision making under uncertainty,
belief updating and inconsistency handling,
default reasoning, similarity-based reasoning,
empirical studies of reasoning strategies,
uncertainty in ill-defined environments,
automated planning and acting,
machine learning for uncertainty formalisms,
information fusion and pooling of uncertain
evidence,
game theoritic agents,
algorithms for uncertain inference,
implementation of uncertainty systems, etc
Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. We strongly
encourage electronic submission of papers. To submit a paper
electronically, send an Email message to both of the Program Co-Chairs
(see email addresses below) that includes the following information (in
this order):
Paper title (plain text),
Author names (plain text),
Surface mail and email address for a contact
author (plain text),
A short abstract including keywords or topic
indicators (plain text),
Paper body (Postscript format).
Submited papers should not be longer than 12 pages.
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as a volume
in the LNCS/LNAI series. Hence we strongly recommend the authors to submit
their paper in LNCS/LNAI format. Instructions for authors can be found at
