[BBC] Probabilistic Graphical Models (PGM2012) Third Call for Papers and deadline extension

[Manuel Gómez Olmedo]

Probabilistic Graphical Models (PGM2012) Workshop
Granada, Spain, 19-21 September 2012 (http://leo.ugr.es/pgm2012)

The submission deadline has been extended to June 4th (abstract) and 
June 8th (full paper)
(see list of important dates below)

*Call for papers:*

The aim of the workshop is to bring together people interested in 
probabilistic graphical models
and provide a forum for discussion of the latest research developments 
in this field. The workshop
is organized so as to facilitate discussions and collaboration among the 
participants also outside
the workshop sessions. To facilitate the spreading of research results 
and promote interactions
among the participants, parallel sessions will be avoided and the 
workshop will be organized
around a single thread of plenary and posters sessions.

We welcome theoretical and applied contributions related to the 
following topics:

- Principles of Bayesian (belief) networks, chain graphs, decision 
networks, influence diagrams,
   and other probabilistic graphical models (PGMs).
- Information processing in PGMs (exact and approximate inference).
- Learning and data mining in the context of PGMs: machine learning 
approaches, statistical testing
   and search methods, MCMC simulation.
- Exploitation of results from related disciplines for the construction 
of PGMs, e.g., statistics, information
   theory, optimization, decision making under uncertainty, multivariate 
statistical analysis.
- Software systems based on PGMs.
- Application of PGMs to real-world problems.

We invite submissions that concern oneCHANGED or more of the above 
topics, or any other aspects related to
probabilistic graphical models. Papers submitted for review should 
report on original, previously
unpublished work. Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least two 
reviewers.

Submission procedure

PGM 2012 requires electronic submission of papers according to the 
instructions found on the web page

author instructions contains format
information and provides access to style files and templates.

Paper presentation

Papers will be accepted for plenary or poster presentation. All accepted 
papers will be included in the
proceedings (with ISBN), which will be made available at the workshop 
reception. At least one author
of accepted papers is expected to attend the workshop. After the
