I send enclosed the 2nd CFP of the 2nd edition of the MDAI conference that will be held on next july in Tsukuba (Japan).
DEADLINE: February, 1st best wishes for 2005, Vicenc Torra and Yasuo Narukawa [ Apologies for multiple postings ] SUBMISSION DEADLINE: February 1, 2005 - ------------------------------------------------------- Modeling Decisions for Artificial Intelligence Tsukuba, Japan, July 25-27, 2005 http://www.iiia.csic.es/~vtorra/mdai2005 AIMS AND GOALS: Decision making processes and information fusion tools at large are currently embedded in most Artificial Intelligence applications. As a consequence, systems based on decision making and fusion techniques are becoming pervasive. They are currently in use in all kind of environments, from entertainment gadgets to safety-critical or risk management software. The MDAI (Modeling Decisions for Artificial Intelligence) conferences have been initiated in Barcelona (MDAI 2004) with the aim of providing a forum to researchers for discussing models for decision and information fusion (aggregation operators) as well as computational methods and criteria for model selection and determination. PUBLICATION: Proceedings with accepted papers will be published in the LNAI/LNCS series (Springer-Verlag) and distributed at the conference. Besides, papers that, according to the evaluation by the referees, are not suitable for LNAI but have some merit will be published in a CD-ROM proceedings and scheduled in the MDAI program. NOTE: MDAI 2004 proceedings were published in LNCS/LNAI volume 3131. DEADLINES: Submission deadline: February 1, 2005 Acceptance notification: March 21, 2005 Final version of LNAI accepted papers: April 7, 2005 Final version of CD-ROM accepted papers: April 15, 2005 Conference: July 25-27, 2005 TOPICS OF INTEREST: Tools - Information fusion - Aggregation operators - Knowledge integration - Hierarchical models - Model and operator selection - Learning methods for parameter determination - Graphical models - Machine learning and statistical learning - Soft computing - Utility theory - Optimization methods Applications: - Risk assessment and management - Autonomous robots - Robocup and robocup rescue - Entertainment computing - Multiagent systems - Electronic commerce and electronic contracting - Negotiation - Web based and internet applications - e-gamming and e-gambling - Subjective evaluation - Medicine - Bioinformatics - Information privacy and database security - Information retrieval and recommendation systems General chair: Sadaaki Miyamoto (U. of Tsukuba) Program co-chairs: Vicenc Torra (IIIA-CSIC), Yasuo Narukawa (Toho Gakuen) Local Organizing Committee Chairs: Yasunori Endo (U.
