Scope and Topics
Scope
The IPMU Conference is organized every two years with the focus of bringing together scientists working on methods for the management of uncertainty and aggregation of information in intelligent systems. This conference provides a medium for the exchange of ideas between theoreticians and practitioners in these and related areas.
In 2002, the conference is being held in Annecy, a city located in the northern French Alps whose enchanting surroundings, by the side of a mountain lake, provide many attractions for the visitor.
