The Bayesian Modeling Applications Workshop (BMAW) has been held in conjunction with the annual Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence thirteen times since 2003. The workshop brings together researchers and practitioners who apply the technologies pioneered by the UAI community to address important real-world problems in a diverse set of fields. The workshop fosters discussion on the challenges of building applications, such as understanding and addressing stakeholder needs; integrating Bayesian models and tools into larger applications; validating models; interacting with users; construction of models through knowledge elicitation and learning; agile model and system development strategies; and deploying and managing Web based Bayesian applications.
