CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Second Workshop on: "Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence"
Philadelphia, PA. August 8-10, 1986 (preceeding AAAI conf.)
Sponsored by: AAAI and RCA
This workshop is a follow-up to the successful workshop in L.A.,
August 1985. Its subject is reasoning under uncertainty and
representing uncertain information. The emphasis this year is on
applications, although papers on theory are also welcome. The
workshop provides an opportunity for those interested in uncertainty
in AI to present their ideas and participate in the discussions. Also
panel discussions will provide a lively cross-section of views.
Papers are invited on the following topics:
*Applications--Descriptions of novel approaches; interesting results;
important implementation difficulties; experimental comparison of
alternatives etc.
*Comparison and Evaluation of different uncertainty formalisms.
*Induction (Theory discovery) under uncertainty.
*Alternative uncertainty approaches.
*Relationship between uncertainty and logic.
*Uncertainty about uncertainty (Higher order approaches).
*Other uncertainty in AI issues.
Preference will be given to papers that have demonstrated their approach
in real applications. Some papers may be accepted for publication but not
presentation (except at a poster session).
Four copies of the paper (or an extended abstract) should be sent to the
arrangements chairman before 23rd. May 1986. Acceptances will be sent by the
20th. June and final (camera ready) papers must be received by 11th. July.
Proceedings will be available at the workshop.
