*About*
A series of Workshops on Uncertainty Processing (WUPES) has been held in
Czechia since 1988. We invite submissions of papers on Uncertainty in
Artificial Intelligence, Bayesian Networks, Conditional Independence,
Stochastic Analysis, Algebraic Statistics, Information-Theoretical
Inequalities, Combinatorial Methods for Secret Sharing, Fuzzy Analysis,
Machine Learning, Decision Theory, Management Science, and related fields.
More information about WUPES can be found on our webpage:
http://wupes.utia.cas.cz/

*Submissions*
We invite regular papers. First, an extended abstract (up to two pages
long) should be submitted. After notification of acceptance, full papers
(maximum 12 pages) should be prepared using the WUPES LaTeX template.
Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the
workshop.

*Special Issue*
After the workshop, a special issue of the international journal Kybernetika
<https://www.kybernetika.cz/>(published by the Institute of Information
Theory and Automation of the Czech Academy of Sciences) will be organized
and dedicated to WUPES'25. All selected papers will undergo a regular
review process. Kybernetika publishes freely available articles at no
charge. Reflecting its focus on computer science, system engineering,
applied mathematics, and related interdisciplinary fields, the journal has
been indexed in Web of Science and Scopus since its founding in 1965. With
an impact factor of 0.9 in 2023, Kybernetika provides a platform for
high-quality research.

*Venue*
The WUPES 2025 conference will take place in the magnificent Třešť Castle,
a historic site owned by the Czech Academy of Sciences. Originally a
medieval fortress, the castle has undergone transformations from
Renaissance to Baroque architecture and now serves as a center for academic
and research activities. Participants will enjoy the serene castle park,
ideal for quiet walks and relaxation.

Třešť is located in the scenic Vysočina region, celebrated for its rolling
hills, forests, and cultural landmarks. A highlight of the area is the
UNESCO World Heritage Site of Telč, just 24 minutes away by train with
regular hourly service. Telč, known for its Renaissance architecture and
charming town square, offers a unique excursion opportunity for
participants.
