Uncertainty Frameworks
Specialized workshop in conjunction with NMR2004 (www.pims.math.ca/science/2004/NMR/papers.html)
Intelligent agents have to manage incomplete and uncertain information
about the world in order to achieve the goals they are seeking for.
Many approaches have been developed for reasoning under incomplete information
with uncertain rules having exceptions. Some of them are symbolic and
based on a logical framework or on logic programming; others are more
numerically oriented and make use of probabilities, qualitative or quantitative
possibilities, or of mathematically more general uncertainty frameworks
such as belief and plausibility functions, or upper and lower probabilities.
Incomplete information, expressing either knowledge or preferences,
may be given in a bipolar form distinguishing between positive and negative
part of information. This raises new reasoning and revision issues.
This subworkshop will especially welcome papers contributing to a cross-fertilization of ideas or tools coming from both fields. Papers addressing problems related to the practical use and applications of probabilistic, possibilistic and other uncertainty frameworks in NMR are also welcome.
TOPICS
The main focus of the meeting is on nonmonotonic aspects related to the following topics:
-
modeling and reasoning with causalities,
-
handling goals, bipolar information,
-
formalisms for reasoning under uncertainty,
-
revision and update of uncertain knowledge or preferences,
-
handling inconsistency in uncertain knowledge,
-
fusion of uncertain knowledge or preferences,
-
uncertainty in logic programming and databases,
-
action and planning under uncertainty,
-
algorithms and complexity,
-
experimental studies of NMR formalisms,
-
applications of NMR.
SUBMISSION DETAILS
All NMR2004 subworkshops have the same submission requirements. Submissions
are limited to 12 pages (excluding title page and references) of standard
LaTeX 12pt article format. Send a pdf file with the submission to each
of the organizers by e-mail.
