As we are following GMT, first, please check the time zones in your country
and make sure you follow the timings correctly.

1. Please make sure that you have the adequate browser / plugins etc. to
run Webex. It is better to use your laptop / desktop computer and mute your
mobile phones during the webinar.

2. Please assemble not earlier than 10 minutes and try to assemble on time.
On August 06, we have the following speaker:

*Prof. Dr. Vladik Kreinovich, University of Texas at El Paso, USA  (August
06, 14:00 15:00 GMT)*

*Title: Decision Making under Interval (and More General) Uncertainty*

*Abstract:* In many situations, we do not know the exact amount of money
that we will get for each possible decision, we only know lower and upper
bounds on this amount. In this case, a natural idea is to assign a fair
price to different alternatives, and then to use these fair prices to
select the best alternative. In the talk, we show how to assign a fair
price under interval uncertainty, and under other types of uncertainty:
p-boxes (bounds on cumulative distribution function), fuzzy values (when we
have imprecise expert estimates of the gains), etc.

Examples of decision making under uncertainty include locating an airport
in Mexico City and designing a network of radio-telescopes.

*Biography: * Vladik Kreinovich is Professor of Computer Science at the
University of Texas at El Paso. His main interests are the representation
and processing of uncertainty, especially interval computations and
intelligent control.  He has published nine books, 31 edited books, and
more than 1,600 papers. Vladik is Vice President of the International Fuzzy
Systems Association (IFSA), Vice President of the European Society for
Fuzzy Logic and Technology (EUSFLAT), Fellow of International Fuzzy Systems
Association (IFSA), Fellow of Mexican Society for Artificial Intelligence
(SMIA), Fellow of the Russian Association for Fuzzy Systems and Soft
Computing. He is Treasurer of IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society.

3. Attendee interaction during the session: As we are dealing with nearly
1000 participants, it is important that all attendees mute the microphone
soon after joining  the session. Please don't flood the chat windows with
greetings and thank you messages. There will be a Q and A session soon
after every talk. Attendees may place their questions (only very important
and that might be also useful for the whole audience) in the chat window
and the moderator will select only a few of them (depending on the time
availability).

4. We will distribute participation certificates for each sessionduring the
following day. Participation certificates will be shared ona drive. Each
attendee will have to complete an online form within 12 hours after the
completion of the session. Please take adequate time to provide your
personal details / information as further correction requests will not be
entertained. Please note that the feedback form will be given in the Webex
chat window soon after every session. So it is mandatory to stay until the
end of the session and also complete all sections in the feedback form to
receive the certificate. You may discard filling the feedback form, if you
don't need the participation certification.

Our resources are limited and we also have to go for four weeks. So we
kindly request your understanding and support as we might not be able to
serve any individual queries related to the webinars. Thank you all and we
look forward to seeing you during the Webinars.

Please stay safe and healthy!

Yours sincerely,
