The pre-registration deadline has been exteded to: Friday 22 April 2016 http://www.maths.dur.ac.uk/users/matthias.troffaes/siptass16/registration.h… Are you interested in modelling severe uncertainty in your applications? Are you worried about the impact of the choice of prior in your Bayesian analysis? Are you interested in prior-data conflict and/or missing data? Do you want to learn how imprecise probability can help you making robust decisions under uncertainty? Then the SIPTA summer school is for you! The Society for Imprecise Probability: Theories and Applications (SIPTA) organizes the 7th edition of its school in Durham, UK, during Aug 29 - Sep 2 2016. The school will be held at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Durham University, close to the city centre of Durham. The aim of the SIPTA schools is to introduce interested students and researchers to the basics of imprecise probability topics, both theoretical and applied. Some of the best specialists in different aspects of imprecise probabilities lecture, during one week, on the main concepts and techniques in their area of expertise, in a friendly environment favouring interactions between participants. The topics covered this year will provide a general introduction to the latest developments in imprecise probability theory. There will also be a focus on applications of imprecise probabilities in risk analysis in engineering and environmental systems. Students will learn how to deal with situations where information is scarce, vague, or conflicting, and when a unique probability distribution may be hard to identify, from mathematical modelling to statistical inference and practical decision making.

[SIPTA] Robustness in Econometrics
by Kreinovich Jan. 7, 2016

Jan. 7, 2016

Dear Friends, Today is the last day of the 9th International Conference of Thailand Econometric Society TES'2016. This conference was a big success, with a Nobelist Robert Engle giving the keynote talk. Next year's conference will be held in Chiang Mai, Thailand, January 11-13, 2017. Its main theme is robustness in econometrics. The main idea that we have only an approximate information about the corresponding probability distributions and about the values of the corresponding parameters. So, it is desirable to develop data processing, data analysis, and prediction techniques which are robust, i.e., in some reasonable sense, applicable not just to the nominal distributions and values, but also to possible deviations from these nominal values. This seems to be a perfect setting for imprecise probability techniques. Mark your calendars. P.S. As in the previous years, accepted papers will be published in an edited volume published by Springer-Verlag as part of the book series "Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing". P.P.S. Chiang Mai is a city in mountainous northern Thailand that dates back to the 1200s. Its Old City area still retains vestiges of walls and moats from its history as a cultural and religious center. It’s also home to hundreds of elaborate temples, including 14th-century Wat Phra Singh and 15th-century Wat Chedi Luang, adorned with carved serpents.

[SIPTA] 7th SIPTA Summer School on Imprecise Probability - 29 Aug-2 Sep 2016
by Matthias Troffaes Dec. 16, 2015

Dec. 16, 2015

[All our apologies for cross-posting.] Seventh school of the Society for Imprecise Probability: Theories and Applications (SIPTA), Aug 29 - Sep 2, 2016, Durham, UK. Dear colleagues, The Society for Imprecise Probability: Theories and Applications (SIPTA) organizes the 7th edition of its school in Durham, UK, during Aug 29 - Sep 2 2016. The school will be held at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Durham University, close to the city centre of Durham. The aim of the SIPTA schools is to introduce interested students and researchers to the basics of imprecise probability topics, both theoretical and applied. Some of the best specialists in different aspects of imprecise probabilities lecture, during one week, on the main concepts and techniques in their area of expertise, in a friendly environment favouring interactions between participants. The topics covered this year will provide a general introduction to the latest developments in imprecise probability theory. There will also be a focus on applications of imprecise probabilities in risk and related fields. Students will learn how to deal with situations where information is scarce, vague, or conflicting, and when a unique probability distribution may be hard to identify, from mathematical modelling to statistical inference and practical decision making. The last day of the school overlaps with the WPMSIIP workshop, and will give all participants the possibility to present their work in a seminar, with discussion time. We plan for several leading researchers to be present for the discussions, and we also expect that some of the topics the students work on will be of further interest to the WPMSIIP workshop. Further information concerning registration and a more detailed lecture outline with specific topics and lecturers will follow in January 2016. In the meantime, you can get some further information from the website: http://www.maths.dur.ac.uk/users/matthias.troffaes/siptass16/index.html We are looking forward to meeting you in Durham. We also encourage you to circulate this announcement around you. Best regards, The organizing committee Matthias Troffaes Frank Coolen Gert de Cooman Olivier Strauss Andrea Wiencierz

[SIPTA] Call for papers: Special session on IP methods at IPMU 2016 in Eindhoven, NL
by Gero Walter Dec. 2, 2015

Dec. 2, 2015

Call for papers Special session "Uncertainty Quantification with Imprecise Probability" to be held at 16th International Conference on Information Processing and management of Uncertainty (IPMU 2016, www.ipmu2016.org) at Eindhoven, The Netherlands, June 20th - 24th, 2016. The special session offers a forum for all imprecise/interval probability related contributions at IPMU, while at the same time also setting a focus on (engineering) reliability applications. The session thus aims to link methodological research in imprecise probability to applications in reliability, in order to make, on the one hand, practitioners aware of recent developments, and on the other hand, make IP theorists aware of potential applications and which theory developments are needed from the application perspective. The session also links up thematically with the workshop "Reliable Engineering Computing" (REC 2016, rec.2016.rub.de), which takes place in nearby Bochum (Germany) in the week before IPMU. Papers submitted to the special session will undergo the IPMU reviewing process. The proceedings of IPMU-2016 will be published in Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) with Springer, for details see http://is.ieis.tue.nl/ipmu/authors.htm#instructions Important dates: Paper submission: January 8th, 2016 Notification of acceptance: March 1st, 2016 Camera-ready paper submission: March 31st, 2016 Early/author registration: March 31st, 2016 Conference: June 20-24th, 2016 I hope to see you in Eindhoven!

[SIPTA] CfP: KI Journal Special Issue on "Challenges for Reasoning under Uncertainty, Inconsistency, Vagueness, and Preferences"
by Thomas Lukasiewicz Nov. 10, 2015

Nov. 10, 2015

CALL FOR PAPERS: ====================================================================================================================== KI Journal Special Issue on "Challenges for Reasoning under Uncertainty, Inconsistency, Vagueness, and Preferences" http://www.kuenstliche-intelligenz.de/ GUEST EDITORS Gabriele Kern-Isberner (University of Technology Dortmund, Germany) Thomas Lukasiewicz (University of Oxford, UK) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW Managing uncertainty, inconsistency, vagueness, and preferences has been extensively explored in Artificial Intelligence. During the recent years, especially with the emerging of smart services and devices, technologies for managing uncertainty, inconsistency, vagueness, and preferences to tackle the problems of dynamic, real-world scenarios have started to play a key role also in other areas, such as information systems and the (Social or Semantic) Web. These application areas have sparked another wave of strong interest into formalisms and logics for dealing with uncertainty, inconsistency, vagueness, and preferences. Important examples are fuzzy and probabilistic approaches for description logics, or rule systems for handling vagueness and uncertainty in the Semantic Web, or formalisms for handling user preferences in the context of ontological knowledge in the Social Semantic Web. While scalability of these approaches is an important issue to be addressed, also the need for combining various of these approaches with each other or more classical ways of reasoning have become obvious (hybrid reasoning under uncertainty). The aim of the special issue is to collect overview articles on important state-of-the-art formalisms and methodologies, as well as articles on emerging trends for the future. TOPICS Submissions are solicited in all areas of uncertainty, inconsistency, vagueness, and preferences handling, including (but not restricted to) the topics listed below: - logics of uncertain and vague reasoning, such as probability logic, possibilistic logic, and fuzzy logic - reasoning with inconsistent knowledge, paraconsistent logics - rough sets and similarity measures - formal models and semantics of uncertain data - spatio-temporal uncertainty management - uncertainty and inconsistency in the (Semantic) Web - changes and merging of ontologies - preference formalisms and user preferences - data sharing and uncertainty - recommender systems - connections to information retrieval, data mining, and machine learning - applications, in particular to mobile systems and social networks The special issue welcomes especially submissions that combine different approaches of uncertain reasoning, or that elaborate on connections of uncertain reasoning to other fields. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Deadline for submissions: Dec 31, 2015 Submissions must be prepared in LaTeX using the KI style available at: http://www.kuenstliche-intelligenz.de/index.php?id=autorenhinweise All submitted manuscripts must contain original material not previously published or currently under review in any other journal. Submissions extending results previously published at a conference or workshop are welcome. Submissions will be made via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kiruivp16

[SIPTA] IPMU 2016 special session on IP
by Gero Walter Oct. 29, 2015

Oct. 29, 2015

Dear Colleagues, IPMU next year takes place at TU Eindhoven (NL) on June 20th to 24th: http://is.ieis.tue.nl/ipmu/ Working as a postdoc in Eindhoven since February (but not in the group that organizes the conference), I was wondering whether anyone of you is either considering to attend, or intending to submit a proposal for a special session. If several of you are considering the former but no one seems to do the latter, I would volunteer to organize a special session on imprecise/interval probability methods, together with Frank Coolen, preferably with a focus on reliability with IP. It is a little urgent, as the deadline for special session proposals is October 31st: http://is.ieis.tue.nl/ipmu/authors.htm#submission I would be glad to hear from you soon and to meet you in Eindhoven in June 2016! Best wishes, Gero Walter P.S.: You can answer to either g.m.walter(a)tue.nl or gero.walter(a)stat.uni-muenchen.de -------------------------------------- Dr. rer. nat.
