CALL FOR PAPERS
Seventeenth European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to
Reasoning with Uncertainty
ECSQARU 2023
September 19-22, 2023
Arras (France)

CONFIRMED INVITED SPEAKERS:
Eduardo Fermé
Jesse Davis
Rafael Peñaloza

The biennial ECSQARU conferences constitute a major forum for advances in
the theory and practice of reasoning under uncertainty, with a focus on
bringing symbolic and quantitative aspects together. Contributions come
from researchers interested in advancing scientific knowledge and from
practitioners using uncertainty techniques in real-world applications. The
scope of the ECSQARU conferences encompasses fundamental issues,
representation, inference, learning, and decision-making in qualitative and
numeric uncertainty paradigms.

Previous ECSQARU events have been held in Prague (2021), Belgrade (2019),
Lugano (2017),  Compiegne (2015),  Utrecht (2013),  Belfast (2011), Verona
(2009),  Hammamet (2007),  Barcelona (2005), Aalborg (2003),  Toulouse
(2001),  London (1999), Bonn (1997), Fribourg (1995), Granada (1993), and
Marseille (1991).

::: PROCEEDINGS :::

In accordance with the previous conferences, the proceedings of ECSQARU
2023 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial
Intelligence series. In addition to that, extended versions of selected
papers will be published in a special issue of the International Journal of
Approximate Reasoning.


::: SUBMISSIONS :::

Authors are requested to prepare their conference papers in the LNCS/LNAI
format. Submitted papers must be original and not under review in a journal
or another venue with formally published proceedings. They will be
evaluated by peer reviews based on originality, significance, technical
soundness, and clarity of exposition. Authors of accepted papers are
expected to attend the conference to present their work, at least one
author of each paper must register for the conference.

Submitted papers must be at most 10 pages (excluding references) in the
Springer LNCS/LNAI format. Submissions will be through EasyChair.
