About SUM'11
In 2007, the First International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management, SUM '07, was convened to help establish a unified research community that addresses the problems of managing uncertainty and inconsistency in a semantically defensible manner when huge amounts of data are being processed. This initial meeting has led to a series of annual international conferences dedicated to addressing issues encountered by the Database and Artificial Intelligence communities in representing, storing, and manipulating information and making decisions in domains characterized by massive amounts of data which may be uncertain, incomplete, or inconsistent.
The Fifth International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management will continue this tradition by bringing together all those interested in the management of large volumes of uncertain information, irrespective of whether they are in databases, the Web, the Semantic Web, as well as in other areas such as information retrieval, risk analysis, and computer vision, where significant computational efforts are needed.
Papers are solicited in all areas of managing and reasoning with substantial and complex kinds of uncertain data, 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.
