ISIPTA '03
3rd International Symposium on Imprecise Probabilities and Their Applications
Last Call for Papers
July 14-17, 2003
Lugano, Switzerland

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ISIPTA meetings are one of the primary international forums to present
and discuss new results on the theory and applications of imprecise
probabilities. Imprecise probability has a wide scope, being a generic term
for the many mathematical or statistical models which measure chance or
uncertainty without sharp numerical probabilities. These models include
belief functions, Choquet capacities, comparative probability orderings,
convex sets of probability measures, fuzzy measures, interval-valued
probabilities, possibility measures, plausibility measures, and upper and
lower expectations or previsions. Imprecise probability models are needed
in inference problems where the relevant information is scarce, vague or
conflicting, and in decision problems where preferences may also be incomplete.
Themes of the symposium
-----------------------
Although the third symposium will be open to contributions on all aspects
of imprecise probability, three main themes will be emphasized: inference,
algorithms and computational complexity, real applications.
