[Apologies for cross-postings] Special Sessions on AGOPs http://www.gimac.uma.es/ipmu08
IPMU 2008 Malaga, Spain June 22-27, 2008 Fourth Announcement Extended Deadline Dear colleagues, deadline for submitting your contribution to AGOP special sessions at IPMU 2008 has been extended of 2 weeks. So new deadline is 23rd December 2007. Please remember that submission is available at http://www.cise.rcost.unisannio.it/ipmu2008. Authors that already submitted their contribution will be able to upload a new version until the system is open. NEWS: Deadline for FUZZ-IEEE 2008 has been extended to 15th December 2008. Please consider to submit your contribution to the special session on Aggregatiom Functions. For more information www.wcci2008.org Call For Papers --------------------------------- Aggregation functions (also known as Aggregation Operators, AGOP) play a fundamental role in processing information under uncertainty, vagueness and imprecision. In the past years, we assisted to relevant theoretical advances in this field. Traditional aggregation operations such as the weighted average are now acknowledged as particular cases of more general families of aggregation operations, such as Choquet integrals. Triangular norms and conorms, uninorms, symmetric sums, OWA to name a few, are widely used families of AGOP. Along theoretical aspects, an increasing interest to practical applications in now emerging. This requires to face new challenges, regarding computational and domain specific issues. For this reason we decided to expand the opportunity of discussing advances and trends in two sessions: the first focused on theoretical aspects, and the second on practice. Aggregation Functions: Theory ---------------------------------------------- This session is devoted to the discussion of recent advances in the theory of aggregation functions, concerning characterizations and generalizations of AGOP families, and including but not limited to triangular norms, uninorms, fuzzy measures, OWA, copulas, quasi-copulas, aggregation on ordinal scale. Organizers: T. Calvo, R. Mesiar, J. Torrens Aggregation Functions in Practice ---------------------------------------------- This special session will focus on issues related to the practical application of aggregations functions. Specific topics would include: practical constructions of AGOP, real-world applications, relationships to random sets, identification of fuzzy measures, weighting functions for AGOP, AGOP with specific properties, parameter learning. Organizers: G. Beliakov, T. Calvo, L. Troiano We would be glad to receive your interest to these sessions. For that, we need a tentative title and a short abstract of your contribution by October 8th. Please send your proposal to [EMAIL PROTECTED], specifying the session you are interested in. After, we will expect to receive your paper according to conference deadlines. Submission of papers: Dec 23, 2007 Notification of acceptance: Feb 16, 2008 Submission of final versions of accepted papers: Mar 23, 2008 Conference in Malaga: June 22-27, 2008 More information are available at http://www.gimac.uma.es/ipmu08 Submission available at http://www.cise.rcost.unisannio.it/ipmu2008 We are looking forward to meet you in Malaga. Yours Sincerely Gleb Beliakov, Tomasa Calvo, Radko Mesiar, Joan Torrens, Luigi Troiano _______________________________________________ uai mailing list uai@ENGR.ORST.EDU https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai
