Dear colleague(s),

Given the simultaneity of other conference deadlines and to popular demand, we have decided to extend the deadline to submit full papers to ISIPTA to the 12th February 2013.

The ISIPTA meetings are one of the primary international forums to present and discuss new results on the theories and applications of imprecise probability. This year, it will be held at the Université de Technologie de Compiegne from July 2 to July 5, 2013.

Topics of interest include lower and upper expectations or previsions, interval valued probabilities, sets of probability measures, belief functions, Choquet capacities, fuzzy measures, comparative probability orderings, possibility measures, plausibility measures, and sets of desirable gambles. Imprecise probability models are needed in inference and decision problems where the relevant information is scarce, vague or conflicting, and where preferences may be incomplete.

For further details about (pre)registration, paper submission, program committee, scientific and social program visit the ISIPTA '13 web site at http://www.sipta.org/isipta13/.

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission deadline: 12 February 2013. Posters only abstract submission deadline: 21 April 2013 Symposium: July 2-5, 2013.

IJAR SPECIAL ISSUE

Following the conference, a selection of extended paper from the conference will appear in a special issue of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning.

IJAR YOUNG RESEARCHER AWARD AND POSTER PRIZES

We invite applications for the "IJAR Young Researcher Award", which is granted by the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning (IJAR), elsevier. The award is open to Master students, PhD students and young post-doc researchers who received their PhD after ISIPTA'11 and who have demonstrated excellence in research on imprecise probabilities (Career stage is taken into account in the judgment).

In addition to this award, best poster prizes will be awarded at the end of the conference.
