CFP: International Journal of Approximate Reasoning Special issue on Theories of Inconsistency Measures and Their Applications
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/international-journal-of-approximate-reasoning/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-theories-of-inconsistency-measures-and-thei/ Submission: 30 September 2015 Background and Scope Inconsistency is one of the most pervasive and important issues in information systems. There have been significant research activities in developing theories and techniques for handling inconsistency in various domains, such as, Artificial Intelligence, Databases, Semantic Web, and Software Engineering. Measuring degrees of inconsistency and resolving inconsistencies are just two of the many issues surrounding the detection/identification, quantification, tolerance, or removal of inconsistency in information systems. In particular, measuring inconsistency has been increasingly recognized as a necessary starting point for understanding the nature of inconsistency and for subsequent proper handling of the inconsistency in real-world applications. This special issue of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning provides opportunities to promote further development of novel techniques for measuring inconsistency and of innovative applications of theoretical research to a wide range of practical domains. The editors invite authors to submit high-quality research papers on theories or applications of measuring inconsistency in various areas including, but not limited to: * Autonomous and robotics systems * Data and information fusion * Data analytics * Decision support systems * Experts systems * Information retrieval * Knowledge merging and belief revision * Multi-agent systems * Machine learning and data mining * Preference handling * Requirements engineering * Recommender system * Semantics web * Software engineering Important Dates: Submission: 30 September 2015 Notice of conditional acceptance: December-May 2016 On-line publication (expected): Aug-Sep 2016 Submission and Review Process: Authors should prepare their papers according to the Guide for Authors of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning (http://ees.elsevier.com/ija/). All submissions must be made electronically through the Elsevier's EES submission system at http://ees.elsevier.com/ija/ with the Article Type 'SI: Inconsistency Handling'. All papers will be peer-reviewed following the IJAR review guidelines.
