How do we make good decisions in the presence of uncertainty? This question
arises in numerous contexts, including natural resources management and
robot planning and control. The past few decades have seen significant
advances in decision-making under uncertainty. These range from new
domain-independent methods in areas such as artificial intelligence,
statistics, operations research, robot planning, and control theory, to
novel domain-specific methods in fields such as ecology, fisheries,
economics, and mathematical finance. Unfortunately, progress in one domain
may often be easily overlooked by researchers from another community.

This special issue calls for papers that provide a multidisciplinary
perspective on the theory, practice, and computational techniques for
decision-making under uncertainty. Submissions should demonstrate how the
work is relevant to researchers from different communities. Examples
include theoretical studies of decision models relevant to disparate
fields, and novel applications of tools from one field to another.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to the following:

   - Decision models (e.g., Markov Decision Processes [MDPs], POMDPs)
   - Decision theory (e.g., expected utility theory, bounded rationality)
   - Planning under uncertainty
   - Reinforcement learning
   - Stochastic control (e.g., LQG, robust control)
   - Operations research
   - Applications (e.g., natural resource management, robot autonomy,
   pandemic management, natural disaster response, portfolio management)

Authors should submit a cover letter and a manuscript by *April 15, 2023*,
via the Journal’s online submission site. Please see the Author
Instructions on the web site if you have not yet submitted a paper through
Springer's web-based system, Editorial Manager. When prompted for the
article type, please select *Original Research*. On the Additional
Information screen, you will be asked if the manuscript belongs to a
special issue, please choose yes and the special issue’s title,
*Decision-Making
Under Uncertainty: A Multidisciplinary Perspective*, to ensure that it will
be reviewed for this special issue. Manuscripts submitted after the
deadline may not be considered for the special issue and may be
transferred, if accepted, to a regular issue.

Papers will be subject to a strict review process under the supervision of
the Guest Editors, and accepted papers will be published online
individually, before print publication.
