WUPES'09

8th Workshop on Uncertainty Processing.

Liblice (19-23.9.2009)

A series of Workshops on Uncertainty Processing (WUPES) has been held in the Czech Republic every third year since 1988. Like the previous meetings the forthcoming Workshop will foster creative intellectual activities and the exchange of ideas in an informal atmosphere. Therefore the number of participants will be kept limited (~50).

Topics

Contributions belonging to the various fields of uncertainty processing are invited. Typical examples are:

  • probabilistic modelling (conditional independence models, graphical models, Bayesian networks, models based on coherence principles),
  • logical and algebraic modelling (including fuzzy approaches),
  • possibilistic approaches,
  • models based on belief functions,
  • representative applications.

The working character of the meeting is stressed by the fact that we also welcome papers casting new problems and inspiring discussion as well as contributions presenting promising but as yet not finished results.

Programme committee

  • Francesc Esteva (Spain)
  • Lluis Godo (Spain)
  • Petr Hajek (Czech Republic)
  • Radim Jirousek (Czech Republic)
  • Gernot D. Kleiter (Austria)
  • Romano Scozzafava (Italy)


Dates and deadlines

  • 10th May 2009 submission of extended abstracts (up to two pages) upload
  • 31st May 2009 notification of acceptance
  • 10th June 2009 deadline for early payment of the conference fee
  • 30th June 2009 camera-ready copy of accepted papers (upload)


Publications

To foster discussions, preliminary versions of all presented (and submitted in time) papers will be published in the Proceedings, which will be available at the beginning of the meeting. So the participants will have a possibility to consult the written version of the contribution before and during the lecture. Proceedings will also be useful for informal discussions during the breaks and other opportunities.

After the workshop, a special issue of Int. J. of Approximate Reasoning devoted to the publication of selected papers will be edited. For this, all the selected papers will have to pass a regular reviewing process.
