Call for Papers:

Uncertain Reasoning (UR) 2013
=============================

Special Track at the
26th International FLAIRS Conference (FLAIRS-26)
St. Pete Beach, Florida, USA
May 22-24, 2013
http://www.fernuni-hagen.de/wbs/ur13/

The Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning (UR) is the oldest track in
FLAIRS conferences, running annually since 1996. The UR'2013 Special
Track at the 26th International Florida Artificial Intelligence
Research Society Conference (FLAIRS-26) is the 18th in the series.
As the past tracks, UR'2013 seeks to bring together researchers
working on broad issues related to reasoning under uncertainty.

Scopes
------
Papers on all aspects of uncertain reasoning are invited. Papers of
particular interest include, but are not limited to:
- Uncertain reasoning formalisms, calculi and methodologies
- Reasoning with probability, possibility, fuzzy logic, belief
function, vagueness, granularity, rough sets, and
probability logics
- Modeling and reasoning using imprecise and indeterminate
information, such as: Choquet capacities, comparative orderings,
convex sets of measures, and interval-valued probabilities
- Exact, approximate and qualitative uncertain reasoning
- Bayesian networks
- Graphical models of uncertainty
- Multi-agent uncertain reasoning and decision making
- Decision-theoretic planning and Markov decision process
- Temporal reasoning and uncertainty
- Nonmonotonic reasoning
- Conditional Logics
- Argumentation
- Belief change and merging
- Similarity-based reasoning
- Construction of models from elicitation, data mining and
knowledge discovery
- Uncertain reasoning in information retrieval, filtering, fusion,
diagnosis, prediction, situation assessment
- Practical applications of uncertain reasoning

Paper Submission and Publication
---------------------------------
Submitted papers must be original, and not submitted concurrently to a
journal or another conference. Full papers may be up to 6 pages, and
poster papers up to 4 pages. Papers must be in AAAI format, and
submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system. Instructions
on the submission procedure are available at the UR'2013 website:
http://www.fernuni-hagen.de/wbs/ur13/

All accepted papers will be published as FLAIRS proceedings by the AAAI.
We anticipate that the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning
(IJAR) will publish a special issue devoted to extended versions of the
top papers at the track.
