Objectives and Topics

IUKM 2026 marks the 12th edition of the International Symposium on Integrated Uncertainty in Knowledge Modelling and Decision Making (IUKM). The symposium cordially invites proposals for special sessions and workshops.

Relevant topics for IUKM 2026 include, but are not limited to, the following:

Theory and Methodology

• Uncertainty formalisms: Bayesian probability, Dempster-Shafer theory, imprecise probability, random sets, rough sets, fuzzy sets and interval methods
• Modelling uncertainty and inconsistency in big data
• Learning and reasoning with uncertainty
• Logics for reasoning under uncertainty
• Machine learning and deep learning
• Information fusion and knowledge integration in uncertain environments
• Decision making under various types of uncertainty
• Aggregation operators for decision making
• Copulas for dependence modelling
• Granular and soft computing
• Computational intelligence

Application

• Data mining and knowledge discovery
• Multi-agent reinforcement learning
• Ontology engineering and Semantic Web
• Privacy preserving data analysis
• Intelligent data analysis and modelling
• Agents and argumentation
• Natural language processing
• Medical informatics and bioinformatics
• Ranking and recommendation systems
• Big data and cloud computing
• Social network analysis and mining
• Sensor fusion
• System identification and modelling
• Diagnosis and reliability
• Decision support systems
• Kansei/affective engineering
• Service computing
• Engineering management
• Supply chain management
• Environmental management
• Economics and econometrics
• Statistics and Applications

Paper Submission and Publication

The authors are invited to submit their full papers by 15 March, 2026. The submissions will be peer-reviewed for originality and scientific quality. As done in previous editions, the proceedings of IUKM 2026 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series, and be available at the Symposium. Authors are requested to prepare their papers in the Springer format. Submissions should not exceed 12 pages and must be submitted as PDF electronically through the conference's CMT submission site.
