Preface

These are the proceedings of the 10th European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning with Uncertainty, ECSQARU 2009, held in Verona (Italy), July 1–3, 2009. The biennial ECSQARU conferences are a major forum for advances in the theory and practice of reasoning under uncertainty. The first ECSQARU conference was held in Marseille (1991), and since then it has been held in Granada (1993), Fribourg (1995), Bonn (1997), London (1999), Toulouse (2001), Aalborg (2003), Barcelona (2005) and Hammamet (2007). The 76 papers gathered in this volume were selected out of 118 submissions from 34 countries, after a rigorous review process. In addition, the conference included invited lectures by three outstanding researchers in the area: Isabelle Bloch (“Fuzzy and bipolar mathematical morphology, applications in spatial reasoning”), Petr Cintula (“From (deductive) fuzzy logic to (logic-based) fuzzy mathematics”), and Daniele Mundici (“Conditionals and independence in manyvalued logics”). Two special sessions were presented during the conference: “Conditioning, independence, inference” (organized by Giulianella Coletti and Barbara Vantaggi) and “Mathematical fuzzy logic” (organized by Stefano Aguzzoli, Brunella Gerla, Llu´ıs Godo, Vincen
