Preface
TheInternationalConferenceonInformationProcessingandManagementofUn-
certaintyinKnowledge-BasedSystems,IPMU,isorganizedeverytwoyearswith
the aim ofbringing together scientists workingonmethods for the management
ofuncertaintyandaggregationofinformationinintelligentsystems.Since 1986,
this conference has been providing a forum for the exchange of ideas between
theoreticiansandpractitionersworkingintheseareasandrelatedfields.The13th
IPMUconferencetookplaceinDortmund,Germany,June 28–July2,2010.
This volume contains 77 papers selected through a rigorous reviewing pro-
cess.Thecontributionsreflecttherichnessofresearchontopicswithinthescope
of the conference and represent several important developments, specifically fo-
cused on applications of methods for information processing and management
of uncertainty in knowledge-basedsystems.
We were delighted that Melanie Mitchell (Portland State University, USA),
NihkilR.Pal(IndianStatisticalInstitute),BernhardScho¨lkopf(MaxPlanckIns-
titute for Biological Cybernetics, Tu¨bingen, Germany) and Wolfgang Wahlster
(German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, Saarbru¨cken) accepted our
invitationstopresentkeynotelectures.JimBezdekreceivedtheKamp´edeF´eriet

Organizing a conference like this one is not possible without the assistance
and continuous support of many people and institutions. We are particularly
grateful to the organizersof sessions on dedicated topics that took place during
the conference—these ‘special sessions’ have always been a characteristic ele-
ment of the IPMU conference. Frank Klawonn and Thomas Runkler helped a
lottoevaluateandselectspecialsessionproposals.Thespecialsessionorganizers

Committee.ThomasFoberwasthebackboneonseveralorganizationalandelec-
tronic issues, and also helped with the preparation of the proceedings. In this
regard, we would also like to thank Alfred Hofmann and Springer for providing
continuous assistance and ready advice whenever needed.
Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the support of several organizations and
institutions, notably the German Informatics Society (Gesellschaft fu¨r Infor-
matik, GI), the German Research Foundation (DFG), the European Society
for Fuzzy Logic and Technology (EUSFLAT), the International Fuzzy Systems
Association (IFSA), the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society
(NAFIPS) and the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society.
