Call for Papers (Expired)
The international workshop on principles of diagnosis is an annual forum that fosters interaction and cooperation among researchers with diverse interests and approaches to diagnosis and related areas. The workshop has traditionally adopted a single track program and limited the number of participants to allow for sufficient technical exchange and debate. This year's workshop will consist of three and a half days of presentations, poster sessions and discussions. It will directly follow the Fourteenth International Workshop on Qualitative Reasoning, QR00, to be also held in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico. We are expanding the scope of the workshop this year to include all aspects of model-based reasoning which can be applied to formal probabilistic, logical, and/or hybrid models, in addition to classical diagnostic reasoning. We are particularly encouraging submissions on integrated systems that combine diverse model-based reasoning tasks, and on modeling issues including: synthesis of models from system design, learning models from data, and informal model acquisition.
In addition to the above focus, we are also encouraging submissions on the classical diagnosis topics listed below:
