Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence (AMAI)
*** Special Issue on Uncertainty and Reasoning in AI ***
on occasion of the Uncertain Reasoning Track at FLAIRS 2023 and 2024.
April 13, 2025: paper submission
######################################################################
Uncertainty is a central phenomenon that touches all subfields of
artificial intelligence. As many have observed, dealing with uncertainty
remains one of the central challenges and limits the capabilities of AI
approaches. For instance, many problems in AI (in reasoning, planning,
learning, perception, and robotics) require the agent to operate with
incomplete or uncertain information.
This special issue of the Annals of Mathematics and Artificial
Intelligence (AMAI) focuses on all aspects of uncertainty that concern
reasoning and is devoted to the Uncertain Reasoning Special Track in
2023 and in 2024, which was located at the respective International
Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference (FLAIRS).
The Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning (UR) is the oldest track in
FLAIRS conferences, running annually since 1996. The objective of this
track is to provide a platform to present and discuss a broad and
diverse range of current work on uncertain reasoning, including
theoretical and applied research based on different paradigms. This
special issue follows this tradition and the aims of the UR track.
### Topics ###
This call is open to articles on all aspects of uncertain reasoning.
Articles of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
* Uncertain reasoning formalisms, calculi and methodologies
* Reasoning with probability, possibility, fuzzy logic, belief function,
vagueness, granularity, rough sets, and probability logics
* Modeling and reasoning using imprecise and indeterminate information,
such as: Choquet capacities, comparative orderings, convex sets of
measures, and interval-valued probabilities
* Exact, approximate and qualitative uncertain reasoning
* Probabilistic graphical models of uncertainty such as: Bayesian
networks, Markov random field, probabilistic circuits
* Multi-agent uncertain reasoning and decision-making

http://worldcist.org/ <http://worldcist.org/>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The WorldCist'25 - 13rd World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies, to be held in Florianopolis, at Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil, 15 - 17 April 2025, is a global forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, results, experiences and concerns in the several perspectives of Information Systems and Technologies.
We are pleased to invite you to submit your original papers to WorldCist'25. All submissions will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, originality, importance and clarity.
THEMES:
Submitted papers should be related with one or more of the main themes proposed for the Conference:
A) Information and Knowledge Management (IKM);
B) Organizational Models and Information Systems (OMIS);
C) Software and Systems Modeling (SSM);
D) Software Systems, Architectures, Applications and Tools (SSAAT);
E) Multimedia Systems and Applications (MSA);
F) Computer Networks, Mobility and Pervasive Systems (CNMPS);
G) Intelligent and Decision Support Systems (IDSS);
H) Big Data Analytics and Applications (BDAA);

J) Ethics, Computers and Security (ECS)
K) Health Informatics (HIS);
L) Information Technologies in Education (ITE);
M) Technologies for Biomedical Applications (TBA)
N) Information Technologies in Radiocommunications (ITR);
TYPES of SUBMISSIONS and DECISIONS:
Four types of original papers can be submitted:
Full paper: Finished or consolidated R&D works, to be included in one of the Conference themes. These papers are assigned a 12-page limit.
Short paper: Ongoing works with relevant preliminary results, open to discussion. These papers are assigned a 8-page limit.
Poster paper: Initial work with relevant ideas, open to discussion. These papers are assigned to a 4-page limit.
Company paper: Companies' papers that show practical experience, R & D, tools, etc., focused on some topics of the conference. These papers are assigned to a 8-page limit.
Submitted papers must comply with the format of Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems series (see Instructions for Authors at Springer Website), be written in English, must not have been published before, not be under review for any other conference or publication and not include any information leading to the authors’ identification. Therefore, the authors’ names, affiliations and bibliographic references should not be included in the version for evaluation by the Program Committee. This information should only be included in the camera-ready version, saved in Word or Latex format and also in PDF format. These files must be accompanied by the Consent to Publish form filled out, in a ZIP file, and uploaded at the conference management system.
All papers will be subjected to a “double-blind review” by at least two members of the Program Committee.
Based on Program Committee evaluation, a paper can be rejected or accepted by the Conference Chairs. In the later case, it can be accepted as the type originally submitted or as another type. Thus, full papers can be accepted as short papers or poster papers only. Similarly, short papers can be accepted as poster papers only.
Poster papers and Company papers are not published in the Conference Proceedings, being only presented and discussed. The authors of accepted poster papers should build and print a poster to be exhibited during the Conference. This poster must follow an A1 or A2 vertical format. The Conference includes Work Sessions where these posters are presented and orally discussed, with a 7 minute limit per poster.
The authors of accepted Full papers will have 15 minutes to present their work in a Conference Work Session; approximately 5 minutes of discussion will follow each presentation. The authors of accepted Short papers and Company papers will have 11 minutes to present their work in a Conference Work Session; approximately 4 minutes of discussion will follow each presentation.
PUBLICATION and INDEXING
To ensure that a full paper or short paper is published and presented, poster paper or company paper is presented, at least one of the authors must be fully registered by the 15th of January 2025, and the paper must comply with the suggested layout and page-limit. Additionally, all recommended changes must be addressed by the authors before they submit the camera-ready version.
No more than one paper per registration will be published. An extra fee must be paid for publication of additional papers, with a maximum of one additional paper per registration. One registration permits only the participation of one author in the conference.
Full and Short papers will be published in Proceedings by Springer, in several books of of the Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems series. Poster and company papers will not be published, just presented in the conference.
Published Full and Short papers will be submitted for indexation by WoS, SCOPUS, DBLP and Google Scholar, among others, and will be available in the SpringerLink Digital Library.
The authors of the best selected papers will be invited to extend them for publication in international journals indexed by WoS/SCI, SCOPUS and DBLP, among others, such as:
