CFP: Fifth International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management (SUM 2011) Call for papers Fifth International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management SUM2011 http://www.wright.edu/academicaffairs/sum/ October 10-12, 2011, Dayton, Ohio, USA Deadline : April 24th, 2011 In many applications, information systems are increasingly complex, open and dynamic. They also involve a massive amount of data, issued from different sources, which may be inconsistent, incomplete, heterogeneous and pervaded with uncertainty. The annual International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management (SUM) has grown out of this wide-ranging interest in managing uncertainty and inconsistency in databases, the Web, the Semantic Web, and AI. It aims at bringing together researchers from artificial intelligence and databases by highlighting methods and technologies devoted to address the problems of managing uncertainty and inconsistency in a semantically defendable manner when huge amounts of data are being processed. SUM 2011, the fifth edition of the International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management will be held in Dayton, Ohio, USA, during October 10th-12th, 2011 following the successful previous editions SUM 2007 in Washington DC, USA, SUM 2008 in Naples, Italy, SUM 2009 in Washington DC, USA and SUM 2010 in Toulouse, France. Submissions are solicited in all areas of managing substantial and complex kinds of uncertainty and inconsistency in data and knowledge, including (but not restricted to) the topics listed below: - annotated logic - approximate query processing - approximate schema and ontology mapping - audio processing and uncertainty - Bayesian models - data sharing and uncertainty - data integration and data fusion - image, speech, multimedia, and text information retrieval - inconsistent databases - indexing methods for uncertainty - information extraction - Markov models - matchmaking and negotiation - mining image, speech, multimedia, and text data - mobile systems and uncertainty - multimedia and uncertainty - ontology systems - paraconsistent logic - personalization and user preferences - possibilistic logic - probabilistic databases - probability logic - query caching for uncertain databases - query optimization with uncertainty - ranking in information retrieval - reasoning with uncertain and inconsistent information - semantic web applications - similarity in ontology languages - similarity search and extraction - skyline query processing - spatiotemporal uncertainty management - text mining and data mining - uncertain aggregate queries - uncertain database algebras - uncertainty and inconsistency in the Web and in the Semantic Web - uncertainty and trust issues - uncertainty in data integration and exchange, data streams - uncertainty and inconsistency in computer security (intrusion detection, access control, etc) - vision and uncertainty SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Full papers must be typeset using the Springer LaTeX2e style llncs for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (see http://www.springer.com/ comp/lncs/Authors.html). The length should not exceed 14 pages. Submissions which deviate substantially from these guidelines may be rejected without review. Submissions will especially be judged for originality and scientific quality. The proceedings of SUM2011 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series. Researchers and practitioners are also invited to submit short papers or position papers reporting on interesting work in progress or providing system descriptions. Short papers are limited in length to 5 pages and should also be typeset using the Springer LaTeX2e style format. All accepted short papers will also be published in the proceedings. Full and short papers must be submitted using the following easychair website: https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?timeout=1;conf=sum2011 SPECIAL ISSUE JOURNAL After the conference, there will be a special issue of the international journal of approximate reasoning (IJAR, www.elsevier.com/locate/ijar) with selected papers from the conference. DISCUSSANTS: SUM2011 will revisit the idea of discussants introduced in SUM2011. A discussant is assigned to each set of accepted papers pertaining to a common topic. The discussant will provide a short presentation containing an overview of research on the topic as well as describe interesting points and perspectives in the presented papers. These presentations often lead to informative discussions and intensive exchanges between conference attendees. IMPORTANT DATES : Full and short paper submission deadline: April 24th Accept/reject decisions: June 10th Camera ready papers due: June 30th GENERAL CHAIR Thomas Sudkamp Associate Provost for Undergraduate Studies and University College Wright State University Dayton, OH 45435 Thomas Sudkamp PROGRAM CHAIRS Salem Benferhat CRIL CNRS - UMR 8188 Universit¨¦ d'Artois, Facult¨¦ des sciences Jean Perrin Rue Jean Souvraz, SP 18 F62307 lens Cedex, France Email: benferhat@cril.univ-artois.fr John Grant Department of Mathematics Towson University Towson, MD 21252, USA and Department of Computer Science University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA Email : jgrant@towson.edu    Êղؠ  ·ÖÏí   ¶¥(0)
