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:

   - Gert de Cooman, SYSTeMS Research Group, Ghent University, Belgium

   - Philip Dawid, Statistical Laboratory, University of Cambridge, UK

   - 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, which 
includes bus transfer from Compiegne to Utrecht.
