Submission deadline is extended to 30 Sept., 2017

-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.

Previous symposia have been successfully held in Ishikawa, Japan (IUM 2010 the capital of Hanoi, Vietnam, during 15-17 March, 2018, and be jointly

• AISC 68), Hangzhou, China (IUKM2011 - LNAI 7027), Beijing, China (IUKM 2013 - LNAI 8032), Nha Trang, Vietnam (IUKM 2015 - LNAI 9376), and Da Nang, Vietnam (IUKM 2016 - LNAI 9978). The sixth IUKM (2018) will take place in
