Highlights:
- Invited talks by Arthur Dempster and Isaac Levi
- Tutorials by Gert de Cooman, Paolo Vicig and Kurt Weichselberger on the

- Workshop on Financial Risk Assessment, on the morning of July 24
===================================================
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.
The program with all tutorials, sessions and invited talks can be found at
the site of the symposium
(<http://www.sipta.org/isipta05>http://www.sipta.org/isipta05). The site
also contains information about the conference venue, housing and
transportation, and on-line registration.
Workshop on Financial Risk Assessment
-------------------------------------
There will be a workshop addendum to the conference, to be held on the
morning of July 24, with invited speakers on the topic of financial risk
assessment, to which all of the ISIPTA'05 participants are welcome, at no
additional registration cost. The list of invited talks to be presented at
the workshop can be found at the symposium site.
