=================================================== ECSQARU 2025: Call for Workshops and Tutorials =================================================== Event: ECSQARU 2025 Location: Hagen, Germany Conference: 23. - 26. September, 2025 webpage: https://ecsqaru2025.krportal.org/ Proposal deadline: 23. January, 2025 =================================================== The 18th European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning with Uncertainty (ECSQARU'25) takes place 23-26 September 2025, in Hagen, Germany. This conference series constitutes a major forum for advances in the theory and practice of reasoning under uncertainty, with a focus on bringing symbolic and quantitative aspects together. Contributions come from researchers interested in advancing the scientific knowledge and from practitioners using uncertainty techniques in real-world applications. The scope of the ECSQARU conferences encompasses fundamental issues, representation, inference, learning, and decision making in qualitative and numeric uncertainty paradigms. We invite proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held on the first day of the conference (September 23). Topics include all areas within the scope of ECSQARU, i.e., the theory and practice of reasoning under uncertainty as in - Algorithms for uncertain inference - Applications of uncertain systems - Argumentation - Acting under uncertainty - Belief functions - Belief change and belief merging - Classification and clustering - Decision theory and decision graphs - Default reasoning and non-monotonicity - Description logics with uncertainty - Foundations of reasoning under uncertainty - Fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic - Game theory - Hybrid reasoning - Imprecise probabilities - Inconsistency handling - Information fusion - Learning for uncertainty formalisms - Logics for reasoning under uncertainty - Markov decision processes - Planning under uncertainty - Possibility theory and possibilistic logic - Preferences - Probabilistic graphical models - Probabilistic logics - Qualitative uncertainty models - Rough sets - Uncertainty and data Workshops and tutorials from neighbouring areas are welcome as well. --------------------------------------------------- Submission of Proposals --------------------------------------------------- Workshop and tutorial proposals should be sent by e-mail to the ECSQARU'25 programme chairs (kai.sauerwald@fernuni-hagen.de, matthias.thimm@fernuni-hagen.de). The workshop/tutorial proposal should be a short PDF document (max 2 pages) with the following information: - Title (including acronym) - Organizers - Description - Format (paper presentations, invited speakers, demo programme, etc.) - Expected duration (half-day or full-day) - Intended audience and expected number of participants - If applicable, past versions of the workshop, including URLs and statistics on submissions/papers/attendance If accepted, the workshop/tutorial organisers are responsible for: - Publishing a workshop/tutorial webpage, with links to the ECSQARU'25 website - Publicising the workshop/tutorial to attract submissions (for workshops only) and attendees - Reviewing of submitted papers (workshops only) - Setting the program for the workshop, within the time limits provided by the conference organisation (see below, workshops only) - Publishing accepted papers in electronic proceedings, preferably before the workshop date, preferably with open access (workshops only) - Ensuring that workshop participants register for the workshop programme (workshops only) - Scheduling, attending, and coordinating the workshop/tutorial If accepted, each workshop/tutorial will receive two free registration vouchers to the workshop programme and the main conference (how these vouchers are used can be decided by the workshop/tutorial organisers). Moreover, catering and room facilities will be provided for the workshop programme. No further financial support (e.g. for invited speakers) can be provided. --------------------------------------------------- Important Dates --------------------------------------------------- - Workshop/Tutorial proposal: 23.01.2025 - 1st Call for workshop papers: 27.03.2025 - Workshop paper submissions deadline: 03.07.2025 - Workshop paper decisions: 07.08.2025 - Due date for final versions of accepted papers: can be decided by the workshop organisers - Workshops/Tutorials: 23.09.2025 - Main conference: 24.-26.09.2025
