Scope

------

The biennial ECSQARU conferences constitute a major forum for advances in 
the theory and practice of reasoning under uncertainty. Contributions come 
from researchers interested in advancing the technology 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.

The 12th European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to 
Reasoning with Uncertainty will be held in Utrecht, The Netherlands, on 
July 8th?10th, 2013. The organisers are proud to announce the conference's 
keynote speakers:

- Philip Dawid, Statistical Laboratory, University of Cambridge, UK
- Gert de Cooman, SYSTeMS Research Group, Ghent University, Belgium
- Simon Parsons, Department of Computer and Information Science,
   Brooklyn College, New York, USA

Preceding the main conference, on July 7th, a tutorial programme will be 
offered.

ECSQARU shares various themes with the ISIPTA conference, held in 
Compiegne, France, the week before ECSQARU. To honour this special 
occasion, a reduced fee for attendance of both events is offered, 
including bus transfer to Utrecht. ECSQARU 2013 will moreover host a 
workshop on building bridges between topics of the two conferences on July 
7th; further information on the workshop will be provided presently.

2013 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial 
Intelligence series. Authors are requested to prepare their conference 
papers in the LNCS/LNAI format; papers must not exceed 12 pages and must
