Description of the session
Title: Integration of Quantitative and Qualitative Approaches for Decision Making Under Uncertainty and Incompleteness
Quantitative (also data-driven) and qualitative (also domain knowledge driven) techniques have been widely used in the literature, and they are still hot topics due to its importance and potential improvement in different types of decision making problems. This invited special session will be focused on integration of both techniques for different decision making problem under uncertainty and incompleteness, which aims at providing an opportunity for collecting some excellent work on the above common research areas including the state-of-the-art science and technologies, clarify the rationality and applicability of the approaches and their applications, review accomplishments, assess future directions, and share new ideas, original research results and practical experiences.
Accordingly, we would like to invite you to submit your contribution within the following three research domains decision making uncertainty, which can be theoretical formalisms, calculi, and methodologies; algorithms investigation or practical applications:
1) Contribution to the development of algorithms and systems for modeling, designing, fusing, and applying both qualitative and quantitative models to handle multiple and heterogeneous information for decision-making purposes. The approaches could be either numerical or symbolic, or both, and could be based on probability theory, fuzzy/possibility theory, belief function theory, and different varieties of logic-based approaches (classical logics or non-classical logics).
2) Contribution on investigating the principles, explanation, and strategies on how humans represent and use incomplete and uncertain data and knowledge from a cognitive science perspective;
3) Contribution to practical applications of the integration of both quantitative and qualitative formalisms and modeling approaches in science, engineering, business, and education.
We especially welcome submissions of papers with the focus on applications.
