*Call for papers*
Special session on*Imprecise probabilities and non-additive measures*
to be held at *IFSA-SCIS 2017**
*
*Joint 17th World Congress of International Fuzzy Systems
Association**and 9th International Conference on Soft Computing and
Intelligent Systems*
http://ifsa-scis2017.j-soft.org/
*Description: *
This session concerns imprecise probability in the wide sense. It is
used as a generic term for uncertainty models, both qualitative and
quantitative, not using sharp numerical probabilities, such as
comparative probabilities, n-monotone capacities, belief functions,
possibilities, lower previsions, etc. Such models address inference
problems where the relevant information is scarce, vague or conflicting,
and decision problems where preferences may be incomplete. We would like
to attract papers that discuss and solve foundational questions, or
clearly demonstrate the usefulness of imprecise probabilistic models
in a particular application.
*Scope of the session*
*Theoretical*topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
-(coherent) uncertainty models
-fuzzy measures and non-additive set functions
-qualitative reasoning about uncertainty

-decision making
-algorithmic issues
*Applications*include (but are not limited to):
-data mining
-classification and machine learning
-risk and reliability analysis
-finance
-life sciences
-system control and design
