UR 2009

The Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning (UR) is the oldest track in FLAIRS conferences, running annually since 1996. The UR '09 Special Track at the 22nd International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference (FLAIRS-22) is the 14th in the series. UR '09 seeks to bring together researchers working on broad issues related to reasoning under uncertainty. Scope

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, argumentation, 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 * Graphical models of uncertainty * Multi-agent uncertain reasoning and decision making * Decision-theoretic planning and Markov decision process * Temporal reasoning and uncertainty * Epistemic logics * Nonmonotonic and conditional logics * 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

Submissions

General Conference Instructions: 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 2 pages. Papers must be in AAAI format. Fake author names and affiliations must be used on submitted papers, to provide double-blind reviewing. Papers must be submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system (N.B. Do not use a fake name for your EasyChair login - your EasyChair account information is hidden from reviewers.). The proceedings of FLAIRS will be published by the AAAI. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form transferring copyright of their contribution to AAAI. An author of each accepted paper is required to register, attend, and present the paper at FLAIRS.

UR '09 Instructions When submitting to UR '09, follow the submission instructions for the general conference above. When you are asked to Select a Track, please select "Uncertain Reasoning".

The International Journal of Approximate Reasoning will publish a special issue devoted to extended versions of the top papers at the track. Important Dates Paper Submission 	November 23, 2008 Author Notification 	TBA Early Registration 	March 23, 2009 Conference 	May 19-21, 2009
