================== 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.
