Dear Colleagues, This message informs you that the deadline of paper submission of IUKM 2019 is extended to October 25, 2018.
We would like to cordially invite you to submit papers to this symposium held in Todaiji-Temple (a part of world heritage), Nara, Japan from March 27 to 29, 2019 (Sakura season: we may have cherry blossoms).
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Seventh International Symposium on INTEGRATED UNCERTAINTY in KNOWLEDGE MODELLING and DECISION MAKING
http://www-inulab.sys.es.osaka-u.ac.jp/iukm2019/index.php
MARCH 27 - 29, 2019, Todaiji Temple (a part of the world heritage), Nara, JAPAN
Extended DEADLINE: October 25, 2018
The International Symposium on Integrated Uncertainty in Knowledge Modelling and Decision Making (IUKM) aims to provide a forum for exchanges of research results, ideas for and experience of application among researchers and practitioners involved with all aspects of uncertainty management and application. The origin of this conference series started in 2010 at Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Ishikawa, Japan under the title of the International Symposium on Integrated Uncertainty Management and Applications (IUM 2010). The name of the conference series was then changed to its current title at the second edition (IUKM 2011) held in October 2011 at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China; and the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth editions were held in Beijing, China (IUKM 2013), Nha Trang, Vietnam (IUKM 2015), Da Nang, Vietnam (IUKM 2016) and Hanoi, Vietnam (IUKM 2018) respectively.
The seventh International Symposium on Integrated Uncertainty in Knowledge Modelling and Decision Making (IUKM 2019) will take place in Nara, Japan, during 27 - 29 March, 2019.
The Symposium Site is located in Todaiji Temple, one of Japan's most famous and historically significant temples and a landmark of Nara. It is located on the left side just behind the Nandaimon Gate, a large wooden gate watched over by two statues of Nio Guardian Kings. The time of the Symposium taking place between 27-29 March is expected to be a good time for the cherry blossoms (Sakura) in Nara, Osaka, Kyoto and Kansai region, so as the symposium participants will be able to enjoy the beauty of SAKURA with Hanami, cherry blossom viewing at many beautiful sakura parks in Nara Park including Todaiji Temple during the symposium as well as many places in Kansai region after the symposium. Hoping to welcome many of you in Nara in late March 2019 in the wonderful place with a beautiful season of cherry blossoms !
Proposal for special sessions and workshops is encouraged and welcome.
Relevant topics for the IUKM 2019 Symposium include, but are not limited to, the following: + Theory and Methodology - Uncertainty formalisms: Bayesian probability, Dempster-Shafer theory, imprecise probability, random sets, rough sets, fuzzy sets and interval-based models - Modelling uncertainty and inconsistency in big data - Learning and reasoning with uncertainty - Information fusion and knowledge integration in uncertain environments - Decision making under various types of uncertainty - Aggregation operators - Copulas for dependence modelling - Granular and soft computing - Computational intelligence
+ Application - Data mining and knowledge discovery - Ontology engineering and Semantic Web - Intelligent data analysis and modelling - Agents and argumentation - Natural language processing - Medical informatics and bioinformatics - Ranking and recommendation systems - Big data and cloud computing - Social network analysis and mining - Sensor fusion - System identification and modelling - Diagnosis and reliability - Decision support systems - Kansei/affective engineering - Service computing - Engineering management - Supply chain management - Environmental management - Service computing - Economics and econometrics
PUBLICATION The authors are invited to submit their full papers by September 25, 2018. The submissions will be peer-reviewed for originality and scientific quality. As done in previous editions, the proceedings of IUKM 2019 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series, and be available at the Symposium. Authors are requested to prepare their papers in the Springer LNAI format. Submissions should not exceed 12 pages and must be submitted electronically through the conference's Easychair submission page
