    ========================================================================
                               FLAIRS 2002
                           Pensacola, Florida
                             May 16-18, 2002
                  Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning (UR)
                               2nd Call For Papers
    ========================================================================
    The Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning (UR) at the Fifteenth International
    Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference (FLAIRS)
    seeks to bring together researchers working on broad issues related to
    reasoning under uncertainty. FLAIRS 2002 will be held in Pensacola, Florida.

    Scopes
    - ------
    Papers on all aspects of uncertain reasoning are invited. Papers of
    particular interest to the UR track are:

    *Uncertain reasoning formalisms, calculi and methodologies
    *Reasoning with probability, possibility, fuzzy logic, belief function,
            argumentation, rough set, and probability logics
    *Exact, approximate and qualitative uncertain reasoning
    *Nonmonotonic reasoning
    *Multi-agent uncertain reasoning and decision making
    *Decision-theoretic planning and Markov decision process
    *Temporal reasoning and uncertainty
    *Construction of models from elicitation, data mining and knowledge discovery
    *Practical applications of uncertain reasoning
    *Uncertain reasoning in information retrieval/filtering/fusion, diagnosis,
            prediction, situation assessment

    Paper Review and Publication
    - ----------------------------
    Only full papers will be considered for the UR track. Submitted papers
    will be reviewed by the program committee members. An author for an
    accepted paper is expected to present the paper in the track. Papers
    accepted for the UR track will be published in the FLAIRS 2002 Conference
    Proceedings.

    The best 4-6 papers will be invited for modification, extension and
    submission to a special issue in the
            International Journal of Approximate Reasoning.
    The journal submissions will undergo a review process before acceptance.
