Dear colleagues, We are delighted to announce our upcoming SIPTA online seminar on imprecise probabilities (IP). These monthly events are open to anyone interested in IP, and will be followed by a Q&A and open discussion. They also provide an occasion for the community to meet, keep in touch and exchange between in-person events. The next seminar will take place on the 27th of September (Wednesday). The zoom link for this seminar is https://utc-fr.zoom.us/j/82399096997 For this new seminar, we are very happy to have Dominique Guyonnet as our speaker. Dominique Guyonnet is a reasearcher and expert at BRGM, France’s leading public institution for Earth Science applications for the management of surface and sub-surface resources with a view to sustainable development. He has worked on numerous risk analysis cases involving multiple stakeholders, for which he used imprecise probability techniques. On the 27th of September, at 15:00 CEST:paris time (up to 17:00 CEST, with a talk duration of 45min/1h), he will talk about "Application of uncertainty theory in the field of environmental risks”. Curious? Then check out the abstract on the webpage of the SIPTA seminars: sipta.org/events/sipta-seminars. The zoom link for attending the seminar can be found on that same page. So please mark your calendars on the 27th of September, and join us for the occasion. And for those who missed the previous seminar and want to catch up, or simply want to see it again and again, it is online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwGMvRUmUmo&list=PLXsgvF2_g5Ht-BYPWsSjcunA3… See you at the seminar!

FYI, both uncertainty and probabilistic methods are highlighted topics. Paper related to imprecise probabilities are always welcome at this series of conferences. From: Christophe Marsala Sent: Friday, September 1, 2023 3:18 AM Dear All, Attached you can find the CFP for the next IPMU 2024 that will be held in Lisbon (Portugal) next year. Best regards, Christophe Marsala ----------------------------------------------- 20th International Conference on Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-Based Systems IPMU 2024, Lisbon, Portugal, July 22–26, 2024 https://ipmu2024.inesc-id.pt/ The IPMU conference is organized every two years with the focus of bringing together scientists working on methods for the management of uncertainty and aggregation. It also provides a forum for the exchange of ideas between theoreticians and practitioners in these and related areas. The 2024 edition of IPMU will take place at Instituto Superior Tecnico, University of Lisbon, Portugal, located in a vibrant renovated area 10 minutes from downtown.
