A large amount of available data nowadays includes uncertain, imprecise, and
inconsistent information. The possibility of integrating and exploiting these
data calls for sound and efficient techniques for managing uncertainty and
handling inconsistency. These issues, which have been traditionally addressed
within the Artificial Intelligence community, already play a key role in
fields like databases or the semantic Web. The annual International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management
(SUM), grown out of this large interest in uncertainty and inconsistency,
aims at bringing together all those interested in the management of
uncertainty and inconsistency at large, fostering the collaboration and
cross-fertilization between the reasoning under uncertainty community and the
databases and semantic Web communities. SUM 2009 is the third edition of the International Conference on Scalable
Uncertainty Management, following the successful previous editions SUM 2007
in Washington DC, USA, and SUM 2008 in Naples, Italy. The conference proceedings (Springer LNAI 5785) are available here. |
