Special Issue of Information Systems Frontiers on Business Applications of
Uncertain Reasoning
Uncertain reasoning, an integral part of information systems, is a decision
support modeling tool that has taken on increasing importance in the recent
past. It has been utilized in applications as diverse as credit ratings,
medical diagnosis, multi-sensor fusion, and aggregating audit evidence. This
special issue focuses on the business aspects of uncertain reasoning and
will bring a cross-disciplinary awareness to the business community. This
includes applications of uncertain reasoning to accounting, finance,
marketing, organizational behavior, strategic management, human resources
management, information systems, and business law. The special issue will be
published in December 2002. Details of Information Systems Frontiers can be
