[SIPTA] Call for papers: SMPS/BELIEF 2018 joint conferences
by Sébastien Destercke Feb. 1, 2018

Feb. 1, 2018

====================================================================== Joint SMPS/BELIEF 2018, 17th-21th September 2018 5th International Conference on Belief Functions (BELIEF 2018) and 9th International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS 2018) Dates: September 17th-21th, 2018 Location: Compiègne, France Submission deadline: March 15th, 2018 Notification: April 30th, 2018 Final version: May 30th, 2018 Further information: https://smpsbelief2018.hds.utc.fr/ ====================================================================== The BELIEF and SMPS conferences are biennial events concerning the modeling of uncertainty. The BELIEF conferences are sponsored by the Belief Functions and Applications Society (BFAS) and are focused on the theory of belief functions, while the scope of SMPS covers the application of all approaches to uncertainty (including fuzzy and rough sets, imprecise probabilities, etc.) to statistics and data analysis. The co-location of the two events is intended to favor cross-fertilization among researchers active in both communities. A single registration will be required to attend the whole event. Submissions and Proceedings ============================ The proceedings of the BELIEF 2018 and SMPS 2018 conferences will appear as separate volumes, both published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS/LNAI format, indexed by ISI Web of Science; EI Engineering Index; ACM Digital Library; dblp; Google Scholar; IO-Port; MathSciNet; Scopus; Zentralblatt MATH. Two types of paper are accepted: - Long papers that should be at most 8 pages long and present original contributions with significant results, or detailed position papers. - Short papers that should be 4 pages long and present for example more preliminary works, innovative applications, short position papers. In addition, we accept abstract-only contributions, that will be presented as posters during the conference. Note that those contributions will not be included in the proceedings. IJAR Special issues ==================== Authors of selected papers from the BELIEF 2018/ SMPS 2018 conferences will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for possible inclusion in special issues of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning. Invited speakers ================== We are very happy to announce that the following speakers have agreed to give an invited talk at the conference: - Thomas Augustin (Ludwig Maximilians Universität München) - Scott Ferson (University of Liverpool) - Ryan Martin (North Carolina State University) ====================================================================== The Conference co-chairs Thierry Denoeux (https://www.hds.utc.fr/~tdenoeux) and Sébastien Destercke (https://www.hds.utc.fr/~sdesterc) Contact: tdenoeux(a)hds.utc.fr, sebastien.destercke(a)hds.utc.fr We would be grateful if you could inform potentially interested participants of these conferences.

[SIPTA] CNRS positions opened
by Sébastien Destercke Dec. 6, 2017

Dec. 6, 2017

Dear all, This is just to let you know that the national French scientific center has a number of nation-wide opened permanent full research positions, as each year. To summarise, each applicant has to propose a personal research project and indicate 2 to 3 French laboratories in which he/she would like to implement this research project. Speaking french is not mandatory. More information at http://www.dgdr.cnrs.fr/drhchercheurs/concoursch/default-en.htm (or you can ask me for unwritten details) Best regards Sebastien

[SIPTA] IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence for Engineering Solutions CIES'2018
by Kreinovich Nov. 29, 2017

Nov. 29, 2017

FYI, imprecise probabilities are one of the highlighted topics From: Michael Beer <beer(a)irz.uni-hannover.de> CIES'2018, IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence for Engineering Solutions part of IEEE Series of Symposia on Computational Intelligence SSCI'2018, Bengaluru, India, November 18-21, 2018 http://ieee-ssci2018.org/ Developments in Engineering are characterized by a growing complexity, which is balanced by an extensive utilization of computational resources. This complexity is not only a feature of engineering systems, processes and products, it is primarily a key attribute of the respective algorithms for analysis, control and decision-making to develop those engineering solutions. To cope with complexity in this broad spectrum of demands, Computational Intelligence is implemented increasingly in virtually all engineering disciplines. This emerging approach provides a basis for developments of a new quality. This Symposium is focused on the utilization of Computational Intelligence in this context in the entire field of engineering. Examples concern the control of processes of various kinds and for various purposes, monitoring with sensors, smart sensing, system identification, decision-support and assistance systems, visualization methods, prediction schemes, the solution of classification problems, response surface approximations, the formulation of surrogate models, etc. The engineering application fields may comprise, for example, bioengineering with prostheses design and control, civil and mechanical engineering processes, systems and structures concerned with vehicles, aircraft or bridges, industrial and systems engineering with design and control of power systems, electrical and computer engineering with developments in robotics, etc. All kinds of approaches from the field of Computational Intelligence are welcome. As a part of the Symposium special attention is paid to sustainable engineering solutions to address current and future challenges of environmental changes and uncertainty. This includes developments dealing with climate change, environmental processes, disaster warning and management, infrastructure security, lifecycle analysis and design, etc. Events, disasters and issues under consideration may be natural such as earthquakes or tsunamis, man-made such as human failure or terrorist attacks, or a combination thereof including secondary effects such as failures in nuclear power plants, which may be critical for systems, the environment and the society. Developments which include a comprehensive consideration of uncertainty and techniques of reliable computing are explicitly invited. These may involve probabilistic including Bayesian approaches, interval methods, fuzzy methods, imprecise probabilities and further concepts. In this context robust design is of particular interest with all its facets as a basic concept to develop sustainable engineering solutions. Topics The symposium topics include, but are not limited to: " Complex engineering systems, structures and processes " Intelligent analysis, control and decision-making " Management and processing of uncertainties " Problem solution in uncertain and noisy environments " Reliable computing " Sustainable solutions " Infrastructure security " Climate change " Environmental processes " Disaster warning and management " Lifecycle analysis and design " Automotive systems " Monitoring " Smart sensing " System identification " Decision-support and assistance systems " Visualization methods " Prediction schemes " Classification methods, cluster analysis " Response surface approximations and surrogate models " Sensitivity analysis " Robust design, reliability-based design, performance-based design " Risk analysis, hazard analysis, risk and hazard mitigation " Optimization methods, evolutionary concepts " Probabilistic and statistical methods " Simulation methods, Monte-Carlo and quasi Monte-Carlo " Bayesian approaches / networks " Artificial Neural Networks " Imprecise probabilities " Evidence theory " p-box approach " Fuzzy probability theory " Interval methods " Fuzzy methods " Convex modeling " Information gap theory Symposium Co-Chairs Michael Beer, Leibniz University Hannover, Germany / University of Liverpool, UK / Tongji University, China Vladik Kreinovich, The University of Texas at El Paso, TX, USA Rudolf Kruse, University of Magdeburg, Germany Important dates: Special Session Proposals: April 15, 2018 Tutorial Proposals: May 15, 2018 Paper Submissions: June 15, 2018 Early Registration: September 15, 2018
