20th International Conference on Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-Based Systems

IPMU 2024,

Lisbon, Portugal, July 22–26, 2024 https://ipmu2024.inesc-id.pt/

The IPMU conference is organized every two years with the focus of bringing together scientists working on methods for the management of uncertainty and aggregation. It also provides a forum for the exchange of ideas between theoreticians and practitioners in these and related areas.

The 2024 edition of IPMU will take place at Instituto Superior Tecnico, University of Lisbon, Portugal, located in a vibrant renovated area 10 minutes from downtown. Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, and full of stories to tell. A city where you feel safe wandering around day or night, where you'll find hotels, restaurants and nightlife to suit every taste, budget and requirement. A city full of authenticity, where old customs and ancient history intermix with cultural entertainment and hi-tech innovation. Lisbon is ageless, but it loves company, being famous for its hospitality and the family-like way it welcomes visitors. Lisbon has been elected World's Leading City Destination at the 2018 World Travel Awards.

Short papers / Extended Abstracts

IPMU will also accept short paper / extended abstracts of up to 4 pages. Short papers’ acceptance will be based on a 1-page abstract that will be checked for appropriateness and relevance. · The 1-page abstract must be submitted through EasyChair system, at the same link of regular papers<https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ipmu2024>. Do not enclose any attachment, edit the abstract directly in the online window of the EasyChair system. Submissions without an attached paper will be considered as short papers / extended abstracts. · The abstracts can be submitted to one of the proposed special sessions or the general track of IPMU2024. · Short papers / extended abstracts will be included in the regular conference program and Book of Abstracts, and will be presented orally. · Accepted short papers will not be published by Springer. A separate volume, with its own DOI, containing the accepted works, will be published in open access. Authors may opt to not include their work in this volume. Details regarding the submission of the 4-page document will be provided after the paper acceptance. IMPORTANT DATES
