It aims at bringing together all those researchers interested i= >n the management of uncertain, incomplete or inconsistent information. Such= > information originates commonly in applications where significant computat= >ional effort is needed to process data in a meaningful and semantically jus= >tifiable manner. Typical applications of that kind include databases, the W= >eb, and the life sciences. > >Papers are solicited in all areas of managing and reasoning with substantia= >l and complex kinds of uncertain, incomplete or inconsistent information. T= >hese include (but are not restricted to) applications in decision support s= >ystems, risk analysis, machine learning, belief networks, logics of uncerta= >inty, belief revision and update, argumentation, negotiation technologies, = >semantic web applications, search engines, ontology systems, information fu= >sion, information retrieval, natural language processing, information extra= >ction, image recognition, vision systems, data and text mining, and the con= >sideration of issues such as provenance, trust, heterogeneity, and complexi= >ty of data and knowledge. > >Invited Speakers >**************** >- Jean-Marie De Koninck (Universit=E9 Laval, Qu=E9bec City) >- Lise Getoor (University of California Santa Cruz) >- Ronald Yager (Machine Intelligence Institute - Iona College) > >Important Dates >**************** >- Abstract Submission: April 12, 2015 >- Paper Submission: April 19, 2015 >- Notification: May 26, 2015 >- Camera Ready: June 14, 2015 >- Conference: September 16-18, 2015 > >Publication >*********** >The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series=20 >Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence. > >Submissions >*********** >SUM 2015 solicits papers in two categories: > - Regular research papers. > - Short papers reporting on interesting work in progress or > providing system descriptions. > >Submissions in the first category should be at most fourteen pages, includi= >ng bibliography.
