FIRST CALL FOR PAPER
5th International Conference on Belief Functions (BELIEF 2018)
and
9th International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS 2018)
September 17-21, Compiègne, France
Conference website: https://smpsbelief2018.hds.utc.fr/
The Fifth International Conference on Belief Functions (BELIEF 2018) and the 9th International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS 2018) will be held jointly in Compiègne, France, on September 17-21, 2018.
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 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.
