Modelling uncertainty has received great attention both in terms of formal descriptions, such as subjective probabilities, fuzzy measures, belief functions and in terms of applications, such as empirical economics, quantitative finance, systems engineering and artificial intelligence. In this workshop, different aspects of uncertainty modelling and its implications, from a theoretical and empirical perspective, will be discussed.

Invited speakers:
*Prof.dr. Didier Dubois (CNRS, Université Paul Sabatier, IRIT, FR) – “Statistical Reasoning with Set-Valued Information: Ontic vs. Epistemic Views”
*Prof.dr. Trevor Martin (University of Bristol, UK) – “The Need for Fuzzy Intelligence in the Era of Big Data”
*Prof.dr. João M.C. Sousa (Instituto Superior Técnico, PT) – TBA
