================== SUM 2014 -- CALL FOR PAPERS ===================

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

Oxford, UK
15-17 September, 2014

http://nmis.isti.cnr.it/~straccia/sum2014/

===================================================================

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.
