Objectives and Topics

IUKM2023 is the tenth edition of The International Symposium on Integrated Uncertainty in Knowledge Modelling and Decision Making (IUKM), of which its main objectives are outlined as follows:

• to bring together researchers working on uncertainty formalisms in information and knowledge systems;
• to attract researchers working in social sciences (economics, business, management and environmental sciences) and engineering who are interested in applying uncertainty-related tools and techniques;
• to bring together researchers and practitioners in order to foster the collaboration on research and application involving uncertainty management; and
• to present and discuss open research problems and novel applications.

Proposal for special sessions and workshops is encouraged and welcome.
Relevant topics for the IUKM 2023 Symposium include (but are not limited to) the following:

Theory and Methodology

• Uncertainty formalisms: Bayesian probability, Dempster-Shafer theory, imprecise probability, random sets, rough sets, fuzzy sets and interval methods
• Modelling uncertainty and inconsistency in big data
• Learning and reasoning with uncertainty
• Logics for reasoning under uncertainty
• Uncertainty modelling in machine learning and deep learning
• Information fusion and knowledge integration in uncertain environments
• Decision making under various types of uncertainty
• Aggregation operators for decision making
• Copulas for dependence modelling
• Granular and soft computing
• Computational intelligence

Application

• Data mining and knowledge discovery
• Multi-agent reinforcement learning
• Ontology engineering and Semantic Web
• Privacy preserving data analysis
• Intelligent data analysis and modelling
• Agents and argumentation
• Natural language processing
• Medical informatics and bioinformatics
• Ranking and recommendation systems
• Big data and cloud computing
• Social network analysis and mining
• Sensor fusion
• System identification and modelling

• Supply chain management
• Environmental management
• Economics and econometrics
• Statistics and Applications

Paper Submission and Publication

The authors are invited to submit their full papers by 15 May, 2023 15 June, 2023. The submissions will be peer-reviewed for originality and scientific quality. As done in previous editions, the proceedings of IUKM 2023 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series, and be available at the Symposium. Authors are requested to prepare their papers in the Springer format. Submissions should not exceed 12 pages and must be submitted as PDF electronically through the conference's CMT submission site. Please visit here for details.

IUKM Related Special Issues

Authors of selected accepted IUKM 2023 papers will be invited to submit substantially extended and updated version of their work for possible inclusion in a special issue of Annals of Operations Research.

Special Issues of previous IUKM conferences (IUM 2010, IUKM 2015, IUKM 2016, IUKM 2018) have been be published in Vols. 300, 256, 195 of Annals of Operations Research and Vols. 107, 50 of International Journal of Approximate Reasoning.
