ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION PROCESSING AND MANAGEMENT OF UNCERTAINTY IN KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEMS Paris, France June 30 - July 4 1986 Supported by: Ministere de la Recherche et de la Technologie AFCET Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientiique Societe Francaise de Theorie de l'Informationn Chairpersons: Bernadette Bouchon (France) Ronald R. Yager (United States) Purpose of the Conference: The aim of this Conference is to bring together researchers working on information, uncertain data processing and related topics. The management of uncertainty is at the heart of many knowledge-based systems and a number of approaches have been developed for representing these types of information. It is hoped that this Conference will provide a useful exchange between practitioners and theoreticians using these methods. INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE: J. Bezdek (U.S.A.) S.Ovchinnikov (U.S.A.)
