The CwU organizers are
pleased to announce that we have finally got an agreement with the
Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg, to publish an edited volume of selected
papers presented at the CwU workshop. All authors of presentations are
invited to submit a paper to this volume. All papers will be
peer-reviewed and if further corrections are required the contribution
will be returned for improvement prior to acceptance.
Scope of the contributions to the Proceedings
While preparing your paper
please consider that CwU is not a typical disciplinary conference. The
main aim of the workshop is to provide researchers and practitioners from
different areas with an interdisciplinary forum for discussing various
ways to deal with uncertainties in different areas, including
Environmental and Social Sciences, Economics, Policy-Making, Management,
and Engineering. Presentations and papers should therefore be prepared
for an interdisciplinary audience, and should address at least one of
the following issues:
- Novel methods and techniques.
- Open problems, i.e. problems for which satisfactory approaches
to treatment of uncertainty still have to be developed.
- Limitations of known approaches.
- Lessons from applications of various approaches.
Therefore, all papers
submitted to the Proceedings should be prepared accordingly, and
contribute to achieving the aim of the workshop. Thus, we ask the
researchers with mathematical background to present concepts and their
illustrations in a way that the main ideas can be understood by readers
with different backgrounds. Ideally, such concepts would help in the
understanding of various ways of effective "Coping with
Uncertainty" in different areas of applications.
Technical requirements
Please note that we don't
have capacity for editing the papers, therefore we can accept ONLY
papers which will conform to the following requirements:
- Papers have to be prepared in LaTeX using the style defined in the
author package available here.
The bibliography must be produced according to the instructions
included in the package. The original Springer guidelines for
preparing multi-author books are available here.
- Please do NOT use any own LaTeX definitions or abbreviations:
according to our experience such definitions/abbreviations may cause
difficulties in processing the papers and therefore should be avoided.
- Figures, if any, must be
prepared in the EPS format, should be readable in black/white printing,
and be included using the graphicx package. More detailed
guidelines for preparing figures can be found at the Springer website.
- The maximum length (after processing with the provided LaTeX2e style)
is 20 pages; the suggested length is about 15 pages.
The length reduction may be required during the referee process.
Important dates
- Declaration of a paper submission: January 15, 2008.
- Full paper submission: March 31, 2008 at latest. Earlier
submissions are strongly encouraged to speed up the publication process.
Contacts with the editors of the proceedings
- Contributions to the proceedings (composed of a LaTeX file,
a PDF file with the processed paper, and EPS files
with figures (if used)) should be emailed to Ms. Elisabeth Loessl,
Secretary of the Mathematics Institute, Federal Armed Forces University
Munich.
- All other correspondence related to the CwU Proceedings should be
emailed to Kurt Marti.
