[DL] SUM 2014 - Scalable Uncertainty Management CFP

SUM 2014 -- CALL FOR PAPERS

8th International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management (SUM 2014)

Oxford, UK
15-17 September, 2014

Uncertainty, imprecision and inconsistency in data sets have been studied
for
several years in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge
Representation
and Databases. The availability of vast amounts of information nowadays
makes
the need for formalisms, algorithms and tools for managing uncertainty even
more compelling. The Scalable Uncertainty Management (SUM) series, commenced
in 2007, brings together researchers from the Artificial Intelligence and
Database communities, with a special focus on problems and applications
dealing
with uncertainty and requiring efficient, and especially scalable, data
processing.

The 2014 edition of SUM will take place in St. Anne's College, Oxford, UK,
from
the 15th to the 17th of September.

Papers are solicited in all areas of managing and reasoning with substantial
and complex kinds of uncertain, incomplete or inconsistent information.
These
include (but are not restricted to) applications in decision support
systems,
machine learning, negotiation technologies, semantic web applications,
search
engines, ontology systems, information retrieval, natural language
processing,
information extraction, image recognition, vision systems, data and text
mining, and the consideration of issues such as provenance, trust,
heterogeneity, and complexity of data and knowledge.
