  *Scope & Symposium Format*

  ISIPTA is the primary international forum to present and discuss new  
results related to imprecise probability.

  We welcome both theoretical and applied original contributions. In  
this edition, we especially welcome papers connecting imprecise  
probabilities with related research in fields such as economics,  
philosophy, sociology, and engineering. There will be no parallel  
sessions. Each paper that is accepted is presented both
      (i) in a plenary session, meant for a short introduction and a  
sketch of the context and relevance; and
      (ii) in a poster session, where ample time is given for in-depth  
explanation and discussion.

  The poster-only track provides a second, free format presentation  
option. It is also open for preliminary results, challenges, etc.


  *New: non-proceedings papers*

  To adapt to different publication cultures in different fields, we  
introduce a new option: the non-proceeding papers. Authors may request  
that their contribution is not published in the proceedings in case  
this precludes later publication of an expanded journal version. The  
PC Board will decide on a case-by-case basis. If accepted, a one-page  
abstract will be published in the proceedings, and the paper must be  
freely available on-line (e.g., as a working paper).


  *Invited Speakers*

  Massimo Marinacci,  AXA-Bocconi Chair in Risk
  Department of Decision Sciences, Bocconi University, Milan, Italy

  Itzhak Gilboa, Professor of Economics and Decision Sciences
  Eitan Berglas School of Economics, Tel-Aviv University, Israel &  
HEC, Paris, France

  Peter M. Williams, a Founding Father of Imprecise Probability and Principal

  *Special Issue*

  After the conference, a special issue with a selection of the  
accepted papers will be published in an expanded version in the  
International Journal of Approximate Reasoning.
