The aim of the workshop on Management of Uncertain Data is to provide a forum
to share original ideas as well as research results and practical development
experiences among researchers and application developers. In this workshop we
want to explore the various aspects of uncertainty in data as well as techniques
how to handle them in the domain of databases. In particular, we are interested
in discussing the different kinds of uncertainty, different models for uncertainty
representation in databases, techniques for querying and updating data involving
uncertainty, and the various application areas in which handling uncertain
data is involved.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to
- Probabilistic Databases
- Possibilistic Databases
- Uncertainty in Sensor Data
- Uncertainty in Preferences
- Uncertainty in Ontologies
- Incompleteness and Inconsistency in Databases
- Database Repairing Techniques
- Models of Uncertainty in Databases
- Uncertain Data and Data Integration
- Operations on Uncertain Data
- XML and Uncertain Data
- Querying Uncertain Data
- Updating Uncertain Data
- Indexing Techniques for Uncertain Data
- Optimization Issues pertaining to Uncertain Data
- Uncertainty Reduction Techniques
- Applications of Uncertain Data
