The world is full of systems that have continuous aspects, and about which we only have incomplete, qualitative knowledge. Humans are amazingly effective at working with such knowledge, and many science, engineering, and educational applications could benefit greatly from similar capabilities. In seeking to understand the ability to reason qualitatively, the QR community pursues research at the interface of Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Engineering, and Science.

This research includes:

 

·                     Development of algorithms and systems for constructing, simulating, and applying qualitative and semi-quantitative models

·                     Study, from a cognitive modeling perspective, how humans represent and use incomplete knowledge

·                     Development of methods for system modeling, explanation, diagnosis, and design, with applications in science, engineering, and education

 

Invitation to submit contributions to QR2010 and to participate. 

The 24th International Workshop on Qualitative Reasoning will be held at Hilton Hotel, Portland Oregon, USA, co-located with the annual meeting of the Cognitive Science Society.   Please see the Call for Papers for information on submitting papers.

Travel and Accommodation

 

QR2010 is collocated with Cogsci2010.  Travel and hotel information can be found at http://cognitivesciencesociety.org/conference2010/travelinfo.html . You can book the hotel through that website and receive the conference discount. Although right now it’s cheaper to go directly to the hotel website; but I am sure that will change as the conference date nears.  You can book rooms at the Doubletree or the Hilton.

However, the Hilton is far closer and is located in a much nicer area.

The Doubletree isn't in such a nice area and is 20 minutes away; but it is cheaper.
