[SIPTA] Fw: CoProd information

Papers related to imprecise probabilities are welcome at this series of workshops ________________________________________ Welcome to 12th International Workshop on Constraint Programming and Decision Making CoProD'2019 June 17, 2019 -- Lafayette, Louisiana CoProD'19 is the twelfth edition of CoProD http://coprod.constraintsolving.com/. It will be held in Lafayette, Louisiana, USA on June 17, 2018 (exact location TBA), right before the 2019 IFSA World Congress and NAFIPS Annual Conference IFSA/NAFIPS'2019 (June 18-22, 2019, Lafayette, Louisiana), see https://interval.louisiana.edu/IFSA-NAFIPS/ Constraint programming techniques are important components of intelligent systems. They constitute a declarative and efficient methodology to represent and solve many practical problems. They have been applied successfully to a number of fields, such as scheduling of air traffic, software engineering, networks security, chemistry, and biology. Despite the proved usefulness of these techniques, they are still under-utilized in real-life applications. One reason is the perceived lack of effective communication between constraint programming experts and domain practitioners about constraints, in general, and their use in decision making, in particular. Registration: Registration will be collected on site and will be about $30, to cover coffee breaks and room and equipment rental Objectives of CoProD: * To present advances in constraint solving, optimization, and related topics; * To develop a network of researchers interested in constraint techniques, in particular researchers and practitioners that use numeric and symbolic approaches (or a combination of them) to solve constraint and optimization problems; * To address the gap between the great capacity of these techniques and their limited use. CoProD aims at encouraging presentation and discussion of on-going work. In particular, please note that there is room for presentation of ideas, as opposed to results only. It also aims at facilitating networking opportunities as well as cross-fertilization between the approaches used in the different attending communities. Therefore, besides active researchers in decision making and constraint programming techniques, we expect to have a wide attendance and participation of domain scientists -- whose input is highly valued in this workshop.

FYI, papers on fuzzy-valued imprecise probabilities are always welcome. This time, the conference has a strong emphasis on relation with interval techniques, so papers on interval-valued probabilities are also welcome. ________________________________________ From: Ralph Baker Kearfott <rbk5287(a)louisiana.edu> Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2018 7:46 AM IFSA-NAFIPS 2019 Call for papers 2019 INTERNATIONAL FUZZY SYSTEMS ASSOCIATION WORLD CONGRESS and the 2019 NORTH AMERICAN FUZZY INFORMATION PROCESSING SOCIETY ANNUAL MEETING Jun3 18-22, 2019 Lafayette, Louisiana Hosted by the North American association, this biennial event brings together participants from all national and regional fuzzy system associations. IFSA-NAFIPS 2019 will be hosted at the Wyndham Garden near Vermilion Bayou in Lafayette, Louisiana, the center of Cajun culture and cuisine. Topics will include implementation and applications of fuzzy information processing technology, associated mathematical analysis, comparison with alternative rough set, statistical, and interval techniques, and, generally, other topics related to fuzzy sets. Further information can be found at: https://interval.louisiana.edu/IFSA-NAFIPS/ This conference will be held a week before the New Orleans FUZZ-IEEE conference. New Orleans is 140 miles (225 kilometers) from Lafayette, a 2.5 hour drive, from Lafayette, and we plan to arrange post-conference charter buses from Lafayette to New Orleans. Participants will thus have leverage to double their professional and cultural experience. Deadlines (extended): Special session and workshop proposals: December 1, 2018 Paper submission: January 15, 2019 A number of special sessions have already been accepted, and keynote speakers have already agreed. Information concerning these will soon appear at https://interval.louisiana.edu/IFSA-NAFIPS/
