[UAI] Probabilistic Graphical Models 2012 Call for Papers

[Manuel Gómez Olmedo]

Probabilistic Graphical Models (PGM2012) Workshop
Granada, Spain, 19-21 September 2012 (http://leo.ugr.es/pgm2012)

Call for papers

The aim of the workshop is to bring together people interested in 
probabilistic graphical models and provide a forum for discussion of the 
latest research developments in this field. The workshop is organized so 
as to facilitate discussions and collaboration among the participants 
also outside the workshop sessions.  To facilitate the spreading of 
research results
and promote the interactions among all participants, parallel sessions 
will be avoided, organizing the conference around plenary and posters 
sessions. We welcome theoretical and applied contributions related to 
the following topics:


 * Principles of Bayesian (belief) networks, chain graphs, decision  
networks, influence diagrams, and other probabilistic graphical  models 
(PGMs).

 * Information processing in PGMs (exact and approximate inference).
 * Learning and data mining in the context of PGMs: machine learning
   approaches, statistical testing and search methods, MCMC simulation.
 * Exploitation of results from related disciplines for the 
construction of PGMs, e.g., statistics, information theory, 
optimization, decision making under uncertainty, multivariate 
statistical analysis.

 * Software systems based on PGMs.
 * Application of PGMs to real-world problems.

We invite submissions that concern one or more of the above topics, or 
any other aspects related to probabilistic graphical models. Papers 
submitted for review should report on original, previously unpublished 
work. Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least two reviewers.


Submission procedure

PGM 2012 requires electronic submission of papers according to the 
instructions found on the page with author instructions 
. The authors must 
prepare their papers according to the PGM proceedings format, and submit 
the full version of the papers by the deadline found below. The page 
limit is 8 pages, including figures and bibliography. The page for 
author instructions contains format information and provides access to 
style files and templates.


Papers will be accepted for plenary or poster presentation. All accepted 
papers will be included in the proceedings (with ISBN), which will be 
made available at the workshop reception. At least one author of 
accepted papers is expected to attend the workshop. After the workshop, 
authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version 
of their paper to appear in a special issue of a high quality journal. 
All of the submitted papers will undergo a full reviewing process.
