Symbolic and quantitative approaches to reasoning with uncertainty : 11th European conference, ECSQARU 2011, Belfast, UK, June 29-July 1, 2011 : proceedings

Annotation This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning with Uncertainty, ECSQARU 2011, held in Belfast, UK, in June/July 2011. The 60 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 108 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on argumentation; Bayesian networks and causal networks; belief functions; belief revision and inconsistency handling; classification and clustering; default reasoning and logics for reasoning under uncertainty; foundations of reasoning and decision making under uncertainty; fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic; implementation and applications of uncertain systems; possibility theory and possibilistic logic; and uncertainty in databases Front Matter....Pages - Information Fusion and Revision in Qualitative and Quantitative Settings....Pages 1-18 Introducing Equational Semantics for Argumentation Networks....Pages 19-35 Constructive Decision Theory: Short Summary....Pages 36-37 Strong Equivalence for Argumentation Semantics Based on Conflict-Free Sets....Pages 38-49 Backing and Undercutting in Defeasible Logic Programming....Pages 50-61 Arguing with Valued Preference Relations....Pages 62-73 Arguing about the Trustworthiness of the Information Sources....Pages 74-85 Two Roles of Preferences in Argumentation Frameworks....Pages 86-97 A Re-definition of Mixtures of Polynomials for Inference in Hybrid Bayesian Networks....Pages 98-109 Using Four Cost Measures to Determine Arc Reversal Orderings....Pages 110-121 Using the Noisy-OR Model Can Be Harmful ...
