The Tenth International Symposium on Imprecise Probability: Theories and Applications (ISIPTA ’17)

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

http://isipta.idsia.ch

The ISIPTA conference is the primary international forum about theory and applications of imprecise probability. Imprecise probability is a generic term for the many mathematical and statistical models and methods, allowing us to measure chance or uncertainty without the restriction of sharp probabilities. The symposium is open to contributions on all aspects of imprecise probability.

ISIPTA '17 will be co-located with ECSQARU 2017, the Fourteenth European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning with Uncertainty. The joint event will be held in Lugano (Switzerland), on July 10-14, 2017.

::: INVITED SPEAKERS :::

We are delighted of having the following invited speakers:

• Leila Amgoud (IRIT, France)
• Alessio Benavoli (IDSIA, Switzerland)
• Jim Berger (Duke University, USA)
• Didier Dubois (IRIT, France)
• Eyke Hüllermeier (Paderborn University, Germany)

::: JMLR PROCEEDINGS AND SUBMISSIONS :::

For the first time, the ISIPTA '17 proceedings will be published in the Workshop and Conference proceedings series (http://jmlr.csail.mit.edu/proceedings) of the Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR). The instructions for submission and the author kit are available here: http://isipta.idsia.ch/submissions-isipta/ The page limit is 12 pages in the JMLR style. Each submission will be reviewed by three referees.

::: IMPORTANT DATES :::

Tuesday, February 21, 2017: Paper submission deadline Tuesday, April 18, 2017: Author notification Friday, April 28, 2017: Camera-ready copy due

::: IJAR SPECIAL ISSUE AND YOUNG RESEARCHER AWARD :::

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to a special issue of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning (IJAR). We also invite applications for the IJAR Young Researcher Award. The prize, granted by IJAR, will be awarded to one young researcher for excellent research in the area of imprecise probability. The award is open to Master students, PhD students and young post-doc researchers who have received their PhD in 2016 (or 2017). Applicants should have submitted a paper (not necessarily as first authors) to ISIPTA ’17. Applications should be received by the paper submission deadline (February 21, 2017).
