Rational Reasoning and Fusion Formalisms and Techniques for Intelligent Decision Support

Reasoning and fusion formalism and techniques in decision making processes have been widely provided in the literature. Logically consistent and rational modelling, reasoning and fusion formalisms and techniques place crucial support for intelligent decision making: to evaluate and explain empirical observations, justify original and creative theories to enhance their utility, and to make the decision support systems have intellectual force. This, however, is also a rather challenging research direction. The advances in reasoning and fusion always imply improvements or new methods in decision making.

This invited session aims at providing an opportunity for researchers working in those research areas to present and discuss a broad and diverse range of current work, including theoretical and applied research based on different paradigms, and in this way keep the development of new ideas and paradigms.

More specifically, we expect you to have any contribution with the focus on developing rational modelling, fusion and reasoning techniques for decision making purpose. The approaches could be either numerical or symbolic, or both; could be modelling, fusion and reasoning under uncertainty; exact or approximate reasoning, quantitative or qualitative uncertain reasoning and fusion formalism; conflict/inconsistency analysis among multiple piece of uncertain information; logical-based reasoning or fusion formalisms for decision making; practical applications of modelling, fusion and reasoning in information retrieval, filtering, diagnosis, prediction, classification, situation assessment etc.

Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts to this invited session. All papers submitted in this session will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

We expect you to submit a tentative title of your paper and your contact details for this session before 20th December, 2009. Please submit your full paper contribution (4-6 pages) before January 15th, 2010 by email to either j.liu@ulster.ac.uk or martin@ujaen.es.

XV Congreso español sobre tecnologías y lógica Fuzzy (ESTYLF 2010)

Breve descripción: Sesión especial en ESTYLF

SESIÓN ESPECIAL

Toma de decisiones con información difusa y/o lingüística

La Toma de Decisiones (TD) es una actividad habitual en muchas actividades de los seres humanos y de las empresas en distintos campos (ingeniería, ciencias sociales, psicología, tecnologías de la información, etc.). Debido a esta amplia gama de aplicaciones, se ha desarrollado una Teoría Clásica de la Decisión para resolver gran cantidad de estos problemas.

La Teoría Clásica de Decisión proporciona modelos determinísticos y probabilísticos para resolver dichos problemas. Los determinísticos ignoran la existencia de incertidumbre y los probabilísticos consideran que cualquier incertidumbre puede representarse con una distribución de probabilidad. Sin embargo, en el mundo real las decisiones se toman a menudo en situaciones de incertidumbre de naturaleza no probabilística. Para tratar y manejar incertidumbre no probabilística existen distintos enfoques y herramientas, entre los que se encuentran la Lógica Difusa y la Aproximación Lingüística Difusa, que hace más flexibles y fiables los modelos de de decisión.

Los objetivos que se persiguen en esta sesión son: proporcionar una oportunidad a los investigadores que trabajan Toma de Decisiones bajo incertidumbre utilizando la Lógica Difusa y la Aproximación Lingüística Difusa, para revisar el estado del arte y presentar resultados y experiencias novedosas y recientes en el área.

Se invita a los investigadores interesados a someter sus contribuciones a la sesión especial Toma de decisiones con información difusa y/o lingüística, del Congreso Español de Lógica y Tecnología Fuzzy (http://www.uhu.es/estylf2010/), enviando un título preliminar y un resumen  a los organizadores de la sesión vía email martin@ujaen.es, lapresta@eco.uva.es.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Special session on

Evaluation and Decision Models: A Fuzzy Perspective

Evaluation processes have been widely used in quality inspection of products and services, performance appraisal and management and in many other fields. The applications of intelligent techniques to these processes in which uncertainties are involved have opened new promising lines in this research area. Additionally the applications of decision analysis techniques to evaluation processes have produced successful results.

This invited session aims at providing an opportunity for researchers working in both research areas to discuss the state-of-the-art science and technologies, and their applications, to share their new ideas, original research results and practical experiences.

More specifically, we expect you to have any contribution with the focus on theory and practice instances of integrating fuzzy technology, one of the main Soft Computing constituent techniques, into evaluation and decision models to better solve those engineering, mathematical, and managerial problems involving uncertainty.

For the practical organization of the session, we would appreciate your contribution. We would take advantage of the outcome of this session to join researchers from both areas for future cooperation and joint research.

Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts to the invited session on Evaluation and Decision models: A fuzzy perspective. All papers submitted in this session will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

We expect you to submit a tentative title of your paper and your contact details for this session before 20th March, 2009.

Please submit your full paper contribution (4-6 pages) before April 15, 2009 through the conference website, http://iske2009.uhasselt.be/ specifying the title of the special session and the organizers in the headings of the contribution.

Intelligent e-services and multi-agent systems for Web-based B2C e-commerce

One of the main problems consumers face when shopping is the huge quantity of commercial information to process. Too much information saturates the consumer’s perceptual capacity, so she/he experiences an information overload.

The firms should provide a balanced consumption environment between consumers’ informational requirements and the flow of commercial information. This is especially sensitive in Internet-based e-commerce environments, because the potential amount of information that a consumer receives during a navigational process may be huge.

The online companies tend every time more to personalize the interactions with customers. But, personalization needs to be effective and valued by customers. Both intelligent e-services and multi-agent systems are especially interesting for the development of studies which try tackle these questions from a hybrid perspective –i.e. artificial intelligence and marketing–, analyzing the effects that these systems have on the individuals’ online consumption processes. Different e-services related to the family of the intelligent e-commerce agents have risen recently to help customers in their online consumption processes; some significant examples are recommender systems, shopping systems, on-line decision support systems, etc. Likewise, it is remarkable the integration of different systems aforementioned in a general architecture based on multi-agent systems, in order to facilitate the diversity of goals related to an online consumption process.

We encourage you to submit a contribution for this session with the following two aspects for decision making uncertainty:

  1. Contribution on intelligent e-services to assist the online consumers’ consumption processes. New approaches and applications in different areas of the e-commerce are of special interest. Any research on developing and implementing models or systems that improve the individuals’ online consumption experiences in general, and their online shopping processes, are especially welcome;
  2. Contribution for multi-agent based systems (MAS) closely related to different applications to e-service intelligence focused on e-CRM systems or e-commerce architectures.

We especially welcome submissions of papers with a focus on applications, as well as on measuring their effects in modifying the online consumption processes.

Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to prepare papers of no more than six (6) pages in IEEE style (see the NAFIPS’09 web site for details, http://nafips2009.ewu.edu/) including results, figures, and references.

Special session on

Approaches for Information Fusion and Its Application to Decision-Making

The use of information fusion techniques in decision making processes have been widely provided in the literature. Both topics are quite important regarding different research areas in social science, engineering, computer science, psychology, etc. The advances in information fusion imply improvements or new methods in decision making.

This invited session aims at providing an opportunity for researchers working in both research areas to discuss the state-of-the-art science and technologies, and their applications, to share their new ideas, original research results and practical experiences.

More specifically, we expect you to have any contribution with the focus on fusion methods and algorithms for merging multiple information for decision making purpose. The approaches could be either numerical or symbolic, or both, could be based on probability theory, fuzzy/possibility theory, belief function theory, and logical-based approaches. Any research on modelling uncertain information using these formalisms, aggregation approaches offered by them, as well as conflict/inconsistency analysis among multiple piece of uncertain information within these theories.

For the practical organization of the session, we would appreciate your contribution. We would take advantage of the outcome of this session to join researchers from both areas for future cooperation and joint research.

Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts to the invited session on Approaches for information fusion and its application to Decision-Making. All papers submitted in this session will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
