Call for Papers
3rd International Workshop
on
Management of Uncertain Data
(MUD)

http://mud.cs.utwente.nl


in conjunction with VLDB 2009
August 2009, Lyon, France

-----------------------------------------------------
Submission deadline: June 1st 2009
-----------------------------------------------------

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 varying application areas in which handling uncertain
data is involved.
