The Fifth International Symposium on INTEGRATED UNCERTAINTY in KNOWLEDGE MODELLING and DECISION MAKING

http://www.jaist.ac.jp/IUKM/IUKM2016/

NOVEMBER 30 - DECEMBER 2, 2016, Da Nang, VIETNAM

-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

• AISC 68), Hangzhou, China (IUKM 2011 - LNAI 7027), Beijing, China (IUKM 2013 - LNAI 8032) and Nha Trang, Vietnam (IUKM 2015 - LNAI 9376). The fifth IUKM (2016) will take place in the central coastal city of Da Nang, Vietnam, during November 30 - December 2, 2016.

Da Nang is located on the Eastern Sea coast, midway between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and is the largest city of Central Vietnam. It is also in close proximity to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Imperial City of Hue, the Old Town of Hoi An , and the archaeological site of My Son.

Proposal for special sessions and workshops is encouraged and welcome.

Relevant topics for the IUKM 2016 Symposium include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Theory and Methodology

• Uncertainty formalisms: Bayesian probability, Dempster-Shafer theory, imprecise probability, random sets, rough sets, fuzzy sets and interval-based models
• Modelling uncertainty and inconsistency in big data
• Logics for reasoning under uncertainty
• Information fusion and knowledge integration in uncertain environments
• Decision making under various types of uncertainty
• Aggregation operators
• Copulas for dependence modelling
• Granular and soft computing
• Computational intelligence

• Application

• Data mining and knowledge discovery
• Ontology engineering and Semantic Web
• Intelligent data analysis and modelling
• Agents and argumentation
• Natural language processing
• Medical informatics and bioinformatics
• Ranking and recommendation systems
• Big data and cloud computing
• Social network analysis and mining
• Sensor fusion
• System identification and modelling
• Diagnosis and reliability
• Decision support systems
• Kansei/affective engineering
• Service computing
• Engineering management
• Supply chain management
• Environmental management
• Economics and econometrics

PUBLICATION The authors are invited to submit their full papers by June 20, 2016 (extended deadline). The submissions will be peer-reviewed for originality and scientific quality. As done in previous editions, the proceedings of IUKM 2016 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series, and be available at the Symposium. Authors are requested to prepare their papers in the Springer LNAI format. Submissions should not exceed 12 pages and must be submitted electronically through the conference's Easychair submission page (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iukm2016).
