AIMS
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.
|
- to provide Ph.D. students and, in general,
young researchers with a basic training in Reasoning under
Partial Knowledge and its application in various fields, including
Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Medicine, Biology.
- to stimulate a critical attitude, in
particular towards routine applications 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.

VENUE
- Laboratorio di Scienze Sperimentali,
Via Isolabella 06034 FOLIGNO (Italy),
denoted on the map as "Laboratorio"
- All participants will be lodged downtown
Foligno at Palazzo Pierantoni (an old 16th century - recently
restored - building),
Via Pierantoni n.23 (at walking distance from the School),
denoted on the map as "Ostello"

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

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 .
