The program of the Workshop will present selected results of theoretical and applied research in the fields connected with the development of models of uncertain knowledge and their applications to computer aided decision making. Global aim is to contribute to development of a theoretical, algorithmic and software background for solution of real life problems in complex situations based on different sources of knowledge and data.

Akademická rada Akademie věd ČR, na základě návrhu poroty pro udělování Prémií Otto Wichterleho mladým vědeckým pracovníkům v AV ČR, udělila Prémii Otto Wichterleho v roce 2009 Ing. Tomáši Kroupovi, Ph.D. z Ústavu teorie informace a automatizace.

The workshop will be held in UTIA from August 3 to August 6, 2009. The topics concern mainly the central limit theorem and invariance principles for sequences and arrays of dependent random variables. Many specialists of the field already confirmed their participation.
