Call for Papers: Uncertainty in AI 91

[dambrosi@kowa.CS.ORST.EDU]

           THE SEVENTH CONFERENCE ON UNCERTAINTY IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
                               UCLA, Los Angeles
                         July 13-15, 1991 (Preceding AAAI)


The seventh annual Conference on Uncertainty in AI is concerned with the full
gamut of approaches to automated and interactive reasoning and decision making
under uncertainty including both quantitative and qualitative methods.

We invite original contributions on fundamental theoretical issues, on the
development of software tool embedding approximate reasoning theories, and on
the validation of such theories and technologies on challenging applications.
Topics of particular interest include: 
- Foundations of uncertainty
- Semantics of qualitative and quantitative uncertainty representations
- The role of uncertainty in automated systems
- Control of reasoning; planning under uncertainty
- Comparison and integration of qualitative and quantitative schemes
- Knowledge engineering tools and techniques for building approximate
      reasoning systems
- User Interface: explanation and summarization of uncertain information
- Applications of approximate reasoning techniques

Papers will be carefully refereed.  All accepted papers will be included in the
proceedings, which will be available at the conference.  Papers may be
accepted for presentation in plenary sessions or poster sessions.

Five copies of each paper should be sent to the Program Chair by March 4,
1991.  Acceptance will be sent by April 22, 1991.  Final camera-ready papers,
incorporating reviewers' comments, will be due by May 10, 1991.  There will be
an eight page limit on the camera-ready copy (with a few extra pages
available for a nominal fee.)
