The Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning (UR) is the oldest track in FLAIRS conferences, running annually since 1996. The UR'2012 Special Track at the 25th International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference (FLAIRS-25) is the 17th in the series. As the past tracks, UR'2012 seeks to bring together researchers working on broad issues related to reasoning under uncertainty.
All accepted papers will be published as FLAIRS proceedings by the AAAI. As in previous years, our goal is to publish a selection of the best papers in a special issue of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning (IJAR).
The 25th Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference (FLAIRS-25) will be held May 23-25, 2012 at the Marco Island Hilton.
Many problems in AI (in reasoning, planning, learning, perception and robotics) require the agent to operate with incomplete or uncertain information. The objective of this track is to present and discuss a broad and diverse range of current work on uncertain reasoning, including theoretical and applied research based on different paradigms. We hope that the variety and richness of this track will help to promote cross fertilization among the different approaches for uncertain reasoning, and in this way foster the development of new ideas and paradigms.

FLAIRS 2012 will be held in Marco Island, Florida. Additional information on the conference location and travel planning can be found at http://www.flairs-25.info/.
Submitted papers must be original, and not submitted concurrently to a journal or another conference. Full papers may be up to 6 pages, short papers may be up to 4 pages, and poster abstracts up to 250 words. Papers must be in AAAI format, and submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system.
Interested authors should format their papers according to AAAI formatting guidelines. For FLAIRS-25, the 2012 conference, the reviewing is a double blind process. Fake author names and affiliations must be used on submitted papers to provide double-blind reviewing. The papers will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. Papers must be submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system (http://ww.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=flairs25), which can also be accessed through the main conference web site (http://www.flairs-25.info). Do not use a fake name for your EasyChair login - your EasyChair account information is hidden from reviewers.
Authors should indicate the special track "Uncertain Reasoning" for submissions.
The proceedings of FLAIRS-25 will be published by the AAAI. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form transferring copyright of their contribution to AAAI.
An author of each accepted paper is required to register, attend, and present the paper at FLAIRS-25.
One of the co-chair suggests 5 members from the UR PC list as possible reviewers. The FLAIRS-25 program co-chairs will pick reviewers from the 5 designated PC members and FLAIRS PC members; the FLAIRS-25 program co-chairs will also add 2 additional reviewers issued from the general PC.
Any submission from the UR co-chairs will not be considered for the intented special issue of the best UR papers.
Submission of papers: | November 21, 2011 |
Notification of acceptance: | January 20, 2012 |
Camera-ready versions due: | February 20, 2012 |
FLAIRS-25 conference held: | May 23-25, 2012 |
We hope to secure an invited speaker for the UR track at FLAIRS-25.
