不确定性建模和分析领域目前处于 几乎所有国家都在进行密集的研究活动， 工程学科。 概率方法，贝叶斯 方法，证据理论，统计技术以及 模糊逻辑和推理目前正被研究人员 来应对不确定性 其中一些方法几乎被 美国研究界的所有部门，而其他新的 方法仍然主要由美国研究人员在学术 机构职能体系 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 在许多工程应用中更有效的方法。 的 不确定性建模与分析国际研讨会将于 为美国研究人员提供机会和需求刺激 和工程师与来自其他国家的研究人员和工程师互动， 国家

The field of uncertainty modeling and analysis is currently in the definitive state of intense research activity in almost all disciplines of engineering. Probabilistic methods, Bayesian approached, theory of evidence, statistical techniques as well as fuzzy logic and reasoning are currently being used by researchers 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 will provide the opportunity and need stimuulus for U.S. researchers and engineers to interact with researchers and engineers from other countries.
