[SIPTA] Basic Interval Standard
by Kreinovich Feb. 18, 2018

Feb. 18, 2018

FYI, since interval-valued probabilities are an important case of imprecise probabilities, it may be of interest to imprecise probability folks that IEEE has a standard on interval computations. There is a more detailed standard, but for most applications, the basic standard will be sufficient. -----Original Message----- From: Ralph Baker Kearfott [mailto:rbk5287(a)louisiana.edu] Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2018 10:57 AM Basic Interval Standard has been published. Its official name is: "IEEE Std 1788.1-2017 - IEEE Standard for Interval Arithmetic (Simplified)" It will be an active standard for 10 years (after which it may be reaffirmed or revised). A web page for it is: https://standards.ieee.org/findstds/standard/1788.1-2017.html Baker P.S. Here is the info from the standard webpage: Description: This standard is a simplified version and a subset of the IEEE Std 1788TM-2015 for Interval Arithmetic and includes those operations and features of the latter that in the editors' view are most commonly used in practice. IEEE Std 1788.1-2017 specifies interval arithmetic operations based on intervals whose endpoints are IEEE Std 754TM-2008 binary64 floating-point numbers and a decoration system for exception-free computations and propagation of properties of the computed results. A program built on top of an implementation of IEEE Std 1788.1-2017 should compile and run, and give identical output within round off, using an implementation of IEEE Std 1788-2015, or any superset of the former. Compared to IEEE Std 1788-2015, this standard aims to be minimalistic, yet to cover much of the functionality needed for interval computations. As such, it is more accessible and will be much easier to implement, and thus will speed up production of implementations.

[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

From: Rob Scheichl r.scheichl(a)bath.ac.uk Date: October 11, 2017 Subject: UQ Workshop, UK, Jan 2018 Key Uncertainty Quantification methodologies & motivating applications Isaac Newton Institute, Cambridge, 8 - 12 January 2018 http://www.newton.ac.uk/event/unqw01 Registration for this workshop is open through to 29 October 2017. Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) concerns the assessment of uncertainties and errors in complex mathematical models. Sources of uncertainty and error include uncertain model inputs, noisy data, incomplete knowledge of the model, and errors in numerical approximations. A variety of UQ methodologies have been developed by the Statistics and Applied Mathematics communities, often addressing similar problems from different perspectives, or using similar techniques but with different emphasis and nomenclature. This workshop will bring together leading researchers from both Statistics and Applied Mathematics for a series of introductory and tutorial presentations. The aim is to improve the understanding within each community of the others' research methods, and to identify common key challenges. The third community invested in UQ problems are the domain area experts and practitioners. The workshop will also include presentations from speakers from a variety of important application areas. The aim is to identify key applied, generic, problems for which UQ solutions are required. Please see the workshop webpage for a list of speakers and tentative titles, and for registration details. This workshop is the first event in a six-month programme on Uncertainty Quantification at the Isaac Newton Institute, see http://www.newton.ac.uk/event/unq

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 BELIEF 2018/SMPS 2018 event. Tentative timetable: - March 15: Paper submission deadline - April 30: Author notification - May 30: Camera-ready copy due Proceedings The proceedings of the BELIEF 2018 and SMPS 2018 conferences will appear as separate volumes, both published by Springer-Verlag. 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.
