2010)

First Call for Papers


27-29 September 2010

Managing uncertainty and inconsistency has been extensively explored in 
Artificial Intelligence over a number of years. Now with the advent of 
massive amounts of data and knowledge from distributed heterogeneous, 
and potentially conflicting, sources, there is interest in developing 
and applying formalisms for uncertainty and inconsistency widely in 
systems that need to better manage this data and knowledge.

The annual International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management 
(SUM) has grown out of this wide-ranging interest in managing 
uncertainty and inconsistency in databases, the Web, the Semantic Web, 
and AI. It aims at bringing together all those interested in the 
management of large volumes of uncertainty and inconsistency, 
irrespective of whether they are in databases, the Web, the Semantic 
Web, or in AI.

Papers are solicited in all areas of managing substantial and complex 
kinds of uncertainty and inconsistency in data and knowledge, including 
(but not restricted to) applications in decision-support systems, 
negotiation technologies, semantic web applications, search engines, 
ontology systems, information retrieval, natural language processing, 
information extraction, image recognition, vision systems, text mining, 
and data mining, and consideration of issues such as provenance, trust, 
heterogeneity, and complexity of data and knowledge.
