Decisions, Uncertainty, and Computation

The Decision, Uncertainty, and Computation area seeks submissions describing the most critical developments in the realm of decision, inference, and action under uncertainty. Topics of interest include developments in graphical models for inference of probabilistic and decision-theoretic inference, exact and approximate inference algorithms, learning models from data, computational models of time, persistence, and causation, Markov processes and planning under uncertainty, abstraction and qualitative inference, qualititative decision theory, and decision making under scarce or uncertain resource limitations. We also invite contributions on key results on uncertainty and utility in the control, synthesis, and evaluation of computational processes, including, but not limited to, procedures for inferring belief and action.
