The capability of reasoning with uncertain and/or incomplete information is a 
crucial feature 
both of human and machine intelligence. The Special Track on Uncertain 
Reasoning at the 
Eighteenth International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Symposium 
(FLAIRS) Conference 
seeks to bring together researchers working on broad issues related to 
reasoning under uncertainty. 
This track was started in 1996 and has become an annual event at FLAIRS. In 
2003 the track was 
merged with the Special Track on Imprecise and Indeterminate Probabilities.

Papers on all aspects of uncertain reasoning and imprecise probabilities are 
solicited. 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Uncertain reasoning and databases 
* Uncertain reasoning formalisms, calculi and methodologies 
* Reasoning with probability, possibility, fuzzy logic, belief functions, 
  argumentation, rough sets, and probability logics 
* Modelling and reasoning using imprecise and indeterminate information, 
* using for instance: Choquet capacities, comparative orderings, convex sets of 
measures, 
  and interval-valued probabilities 
* Exact, approximate and qualitative uncertain reasoning 
* Nonmonotonic reasoning and belief revision 
* Multi-agent uncertain reasoning and decision making 
* Decision-theoretic planning and Markov decision process 
* Temporal reasoning and uncertainty 
* Construction of models from elicitation, data mining and knowledge discovery 
* Uncertain reasoning in information retrieval, filtering, fusion, diagnosis, 
* prediction, and situation assessment 
* Practical applications of uncertain reasoning

Submission Instruction
----------------------
Paper format and submission details are avaialbe at 
http://earth.cs.ccsu.edu/~flairs/submission.html

Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the 
conference proceedings which will be published by AAAI Press. 
Selected authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers 
to a special issue of the International Journal on Artificial Intelligence 
Tools 
(IJAIT) to be published in 2006. 

In addition, we will be arranging a special journal issue devoted to extended 
and 
revised papers selected from the special track on uncertain reasoning.
