ISIPTA 2017 - Tenth International Symposium on Imprecise Probability: Theories and Applications (ISIPTA ’17)

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.
The conference website with detailed information is http://isipta.idsia.ch
::: INVITED SPEAKERS :::
We are delighted of having the following invited speakers:
- Leila Amgoud (IRIT, France)

::: 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).
