SMPS Extended Deadline
After a number of request the deadline for papers has been extended to
6'th March
The Third International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and
Statistics (SMPS 2006)
5-7 September 2006, University of Bristol, UK

Extended Paper Submission Deadline **6 March**
Over the last thirty years there has been a growing interest in
extending the theory of probability and statistics to allow for more
flexible modelling of uncertainty, ignorance and fuzziness. Most such
extensions result in a "softening" of the classical theory, to allow
for imprecision in probability judgements and to incorporate fuzzy
constraints and events. Many approaches utilise concepts, tools and
techniques developed in theories such as fuzzy set theory, possibility
theory, imprecise probability theory and Dempster-Shafer theory.
The need for soft extensions of probability theory is becoming apparent
in a wide range of applications areas. For example, in data analysis
and data mining it is becoming increasingly clear that integrating
fuzzy sets and probability can lead to more robust and interpretable
models that better capture both the inherent uncertainty and fuzziness
of the underlying data. Also, in science and engineering the need to
analyse and model the true uncertainty associated with complex systems
requires a more sophisticated representation of ignorance than that
provided by uninformative Bayesian priors.
Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS) 2006 will be hosted
by the Artificial Intelligence Group, Department of Engineering
Mathematics at the University of Bristol, UK. This is the third of a
series of biennial conferences organized in 2002 by the Systems
Research Institute from the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw and in
2004 by the Department of Statistics and Operation Research at the
University of Oviedo in Spain.
SMPS 2006 aims to provide a forum for researchers to present and
discuss ideas, theories, and applications. The scope of conference is
to bring together experts representing all existing and novel
approaches to soft probability and statistics. In particular, we would
welcome papers combining probability and statistics with fuzzy logic,
applications of the Dempster-Shafer theory, possibility theory,
generalized theories of uncertainty, generalized random elements,
generalized probabilities and so on.
