ECSQARU 2009

The biennial ECSQARU conferences are a major forum for advances in the theory and practice of reasoning under uncertainty. Contributors are expected to come both from researchers interested in advancing the technology and from practitioners who are using uncertainty techniques in applications. The scope of ECSQARU includes, but is not limited to, fundamental issues, representation, inference, learning, and decision making in qualitative and numeric paradigms.

Previous ECSQARU conferences have been held in Marseille (1991), Granada (1993), Fribourg (1995), Bonn (1997), London (1999), Toulouse (2001), Aalborg (2003), Barcelona (2005) and Hammamet (2007).

The 10th European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning with Uncertainty (ECSQARU 2009) will be held in Verona, Italy, on July 1-3, 2009.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

* Foundations of reasoning and decision making under uncertainty * Default reasoning * Bayesian networks * Belief revision & inconsistency handling * Causal networks * Argumentation systems * Decision theory and graphs * Learning for uncertainty formalisms * Markov decision processes * Automated planning & acting * Game theoretic agents * Information fusion * Belief functions * Uncertainty & data mining * Fuzzy sets and Fuzzy Logic * Classification & clustering * Rough sets * Algorithms for uncertain inference * Possibility theory * Empirical studies of algorithms * Logics for reasoning under uncertainty * Implementation and applications of uncertain systems

Early registration will include the ticket for Bizet's Carmen at the roman Arena.
