CALL FOR PAPERS
Fifteenth European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning with Uncertainty
ECSQARU 2019
September 18-20, 2019
Belgrade (Serbia)
The biennial ECSQARU conferences constitute a major forum for advancesin the theory and practice of reasoning under uncertainty, with a focus on bringing symbolic and quantitative aspects together. Contributions come from researchers interested in advancing thes cientific knowledge and from practitioners using uncertainty techniques in real-world applications. The scope of the ECSQARU conferences encompasses fundamental issues, representation, inference,learning, and decision making in qualitative and numeric uncertainty paradigms.
Previous ECSQARU events have been held in Marseille (1991), Granada(1993), Fribourg (1995), Bonn (1997), London (1999), Toulouse (2001),Aalborg (2003), Barcelona (2005), Hammamet (2007), Verona (2009),Belfast (2011), Utrecht (2013), Compiègne (2015), and Lugano (2017).
Scope
For ECSQARU 2019 we invite submissions of original papers on topics which include but are not limited to:
- Applications of uncertain systems
- Argumentation systems
- Automated planning and acting under uncertainty
- Belief functions
- Belief change & merging
- Classification & clustering
- Decision theory & decision graphs
- Default reasoning
- Description logics with uncertainty
- Foundations of reasoning under uncertainty
- Fuzzy sets & fuzzy logic

PROCEEDINGS
In accordance with the previous conferences, the proceedings of ECSQARU 2019 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series. In addition to that, extended versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning.
SUBMISSIONS
Authors are requested to prepare their conference papers in the LNCS/LNAI format.
Submitted papers must be original and not under review in a journal or another venue with formally published proceedings.
They will be evaluated by peer reviews based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.
Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend the conference to present their work, at least one author of each paper must
register for the conference.
Submitted papers must be at most 10 pages (excluding references) in the
Springer LNCS/LNAI format.
