Preface

Research areas such as Artificial Intelligence and Databases increasingly rely on principled methods for representing and manipulating large amounts of uncertain information. To meet this challenge, researchers in these fields are drawing from a wide range of different methodologies and uncertainty models. While Bayesian methods remain the default choice in most disciplines, sometimes there is a need for more cautious approaches, relying for instance on imprecise probabilities, ordinal uncertainty representations, or even purely qualitative models.
