REASON PARK

 

Fifth INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL on
"REASONing under PARtial Knowledge"

Foligno (Perugia), ITALY
9 - 14 December 2005


MOTIVATION
In the last decades, the treatment of partial knowledge has seen a great expansion, giving rise to a number of different tools (such as nonmonotonic logic, uncertainty measures, etc.) to perform automated reasoning. The understanding of the basic methods and techniques has undergone the development of a truly interdisciplinary research community and of a parallel debate on the choice of the "best" relevant tools.

AIMS
- to provide young researchers with a basic training in Reasoning under Partial Knowledge and its application in various fields, including Computer Science, Economics, Medicine, Biology, Engineering.
- to stimulate a critical attitude, in particular towards routine application of standard techniques: a particular care will be devoted to singling-out still unsolved puzzling foundational and interpretation problems in this fascinating and rapidly growing field

The School this year will focus on "Fuzzy Theory" and offers 5 courses
- there will be no parallel sessions
- there will be five days of classes (except Saturday afternoon and Sunday)


PROGRAM


Courses :
• Probabilistic Reasoning  (R. Scozzafava, B. Vantaggi)
• Introduction to Fuzzy Logic  (I. Perfilieva)
• Possibilistic reasoning  (G. Coletti)

VENUE

- Laboratorio di Scienze Sperimentali - Via Isolabella, 06034 FOLIGNO (Italy), denoted on the map as "Laboratorio"

- All participants will be lodged downtown Foligno at Youth Hostel in Palazzo Pierantoni (an old 16th century - recently restored - building) Via Pierantoni 23 (at walking distance from the School), denoted on the map as "Ostello"

- Foligno was the Roman Fulginia located on the plain at the confluence of two rivers. The ancient Umbrian center fell to the Romans in 295 BC, subsequently becoming first a Roman Municipium, then the seat of the Prefecture, and finally the "Statio principalis" of imperial traffic on the Via Flaminia.
 

How to reach Foligno:
- From Perugia Airport (Sant'Egidio, km. 25)
- From Ancona Airport (Falconara, km. 130)
- From Rome Airport (Fiumicino, km. 165)
By train:on the railway Roma - Ancona; or from Florence, railway Terontola - Foligno

Two other magnificent cities, Assisi and Perugia, are a few kilometers away from Foligno.
