The First International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis: Fuzzy Reasoning, Probabilistic Methods, and Risk Management.

目前，不确定性建模和分析领域 在几乎所有国家， 工程学科。 概率方法，贝叶斯 方法，统计技术以及模糊逻辑和 推理是目前正在使用的研究，以处理 不确定性 其中一些方法几乎为所有部门所采用 美国研究界，而其他新方法继续 主要由美国学术机构的研究人员使用。 另一方面，在其他国家，特别是日本， 研究人员和工程师目前正在使用所有这些方法 在许多工程应用中更有效。 不确定性建模与分析国际研讨会 是基于这样一种信念组织起来的，即这是一个及时的事件， 将为美国提供机会和必要的刺激。S. 研究人员和工程师与研究人员互动， 其他国家的工程师。 互动和讨论 参与者之间，以及由此产生的出版物将受益 研究和工程界。

The field of uncertainty modeling and analysis is presently in the definitive state of intense research activity in almost all disciplines of engineering. Probabilistic methods, Bayesian approaches, statistical techniques as well as fuzzy logic and reasoning are currently being used by researches to deal with uncertainty. Some of these methods are used by almost all sectors of the U.S. research community, whereas other new methods continue to be mostly used by U.S. researchers in academic institutions. On the other hand, in other countries, especially Japan, researchers and engineers are currently using all these methods more effectively in many engineering applications. The International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis is organized based on the belief that it is a timely event, which will provide the opportunity and needed stimulus for U. S. researchers and engineers to interact with researchers and engineers from other countries. The interaction and discussions among the participants, and the resulting publications will benefit the research and engineerting communites.
