SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS FOR ECSQARU 2021
The Sixteenth European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning with Uncertainty http://ecsqaru.utia.cas.cz/ September 21-24, 2021, Prague (Czechia) *********************** Later deadlines: *********************** May 15, 2021 - abstract submission deadline May 19, 2021 - paper submission deadline ECSQARU 2021 will be organized either as a hybrid conference (in which participants can decide whether they come to the conference site or join the conference virtually) or as a virtual conference only. The biennial ECSQARU conferences constitute a major forum for advances in the theory and practice of reasoning under uncertainty, with a focus on bringing symbolic and quantitative aspects together. Contributions come from researchers interested in advancing the scientific knowledge and from practitioners using uncertainty techniques in real-world applications. The scope of the ECSQARU conferences encompasses fundamental issues, applications, representation, inference, learning, and decision making in qualitative and numeric uncertainty paradigms. Previous ECSQARU events have been held in Marseille (1991), Granada (1993), Fribourg (1995), Bonn (1997), London (1999), Toulouse (2001), Aalborg (2003), Barcelona (2005), Hammamet (2007), Verona (2009), Belfast (2011), Utrecht (2013), Compiègne (2015), Lugano (2017), and Belgrade (2019) SCOPE For ECSQARU 2021 we invite submissions of original papers on topics which include but are not limited to: - Algorithms for uncertain inference - Applications of uncertain systems - Argumentation systems - Automated planning and acting under uncertainty - Belief functions - Belief change & merging - Classification & clustering - Decision theory & decision graphs - Default reasoning - Description logics with uncertainty - Foundations of reasoning under uncertainty - Fuzzy sets & fuzzy logic - Game theory - Hybrid Reasoning - Imprecise probabilities - Inconsistency handling - Information fusion - Learning for uncertainty formalisms - Logics for reasoning under uncertainty - Markov decision processes - Possibility theory & possibilistic logic - Preferences - Probabilistic graphical models - Probabilistic logics - Qualitative uncertainty models - Rough sets - Uncertainty & data PROCEEDINGS In accordance with the previous conferences, the proceedings of ECSQARU 2021 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series. In addition to that, extended versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning. SUBMISSIONS Authors are requested to prepare their conference papers in the LNCS/LNAI format. Submitted papers must be original and not under review in a journal or another venue with formally published proceedings. They will be evaluated by peer reviews based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend the conference to present their work: at least one author of each paper must register for the conference. Submitted papers must be at most 12 pages (excluding references) in the Springer LNCS/LNAI format. Submissions will be through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecsqaru2021 IMPORTANT DATES May 15, 2021 - abstract submission deadline May 19, 2021 - paper submission deadline June 28, 2021 - author notification July 19, 2021 - submission of final version July 19, 2021 - early registration & payment
