Book Description

This volume contains papers presented at the 7th International Conference on Modeling Decisions for Arti?cial Intelligence (MDAI 2010), held in Perpignan, France, October 27–29. This conference followed MDAI 2004 (Barcelona, C- alonia, Spain), MDAI 2005 (Tsukuba, Japan), MDAI 2006 (Tarragona, Cata- nia, Spain), MDAI 2007 (Kitakyushu, Japan), MDAI 2008 (Sabadell, Catalonia, Spain), and MDAI 2009 (Awaji Island, Japan) with proceedings also published in the LNAI series (Vols. 3131, 3558, 3885, 4617, 5285, and 5861). The aim of this conference was to provide a forum for researchers to discuss theory and tools for modeling decisions, as well as applications that encompass decision-making processes and information fusion techniques. The organizers received 43 papers from 12 di?erent countries, from Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa, 25 of which are published in this volume. Each s- mission received at least two reviews from the Program Committee and a few externalreviewers.Wewouldliketoexpressourgratitudetothemfortheirwork.
