[交流] CFP:Third International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and

Call for Papers

The Third International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and
Statistics (SMPS 2006)

5-7 September 2006, University of Bristol, UK

www.enm.bris.ac.uk/SMPS


Over the last thirty years there has been a growing interest in
extending
the theory of probability and statistics to allow for more flexible
modelling of uncertainty, ignorance and fuzziness. Most such extensions
result in a "softening" of the classical theory, to allow for
imprecision
in probability judgements and to incorporate fuzzy constraints and
events.
Many approaches utilise concepts, tools and techniques developed in
theories such as fuzzy set theory, possibility theory, imprecise
probability theory and Dempster-Shafer theory.

The need for soft extensions of probability theory is becoming apparent
in
a wide range of applications areas. For example, in data analysis and
data
mining it is becoming increasingly clear that integrating fuzzy sets
and
probability can lead to more robust and interpretable models that
better
capture both the inherent uncertainty and fuzziness of the underlying
data.
Also, in science and engineering the need to analyse and model the true
uncertainty associated with complex systems requires a more
sophisticated
representation of ignorance than that provided by uninformative
Bayesian
priors.

Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS) 2006 will be hosted
by
the Artificial Intelligence Group, Department of Engineering
Mathematics at
the University of Bristol, UK. This is the third of a series of
biennial
conferences organized in 2002 by the Systems Research Institute from
the
Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw and in 2004 by the Department of
Statistics and Operation Research at the University of Oviedo in Spain.

SMPS 2006 aims to provide a forum for researchers to present and
discuss
ideas, theories, and applications. The scope of conference is to bring
together experts representing all existing and novel approaches to soft
probability and statistics. In particular, we would welcome papers
combining probability and statistics with fuzzy logic, applications of
the
Dempster-Shafer theory, possibility theory, generalized theories of
uncertainty, generalized random elements, generalized probabilities and
so
on.
