Preface

The International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management (SUM) is an annual conference that was launched in 2007 with the goal of exploiting and strengthening the connection between the artificial intelligence and database communities, aiming at bringing together all those researchers interested in the management of uncertain, incomplete, or inconsistent information. Such information originates commonly in applications where significant computat
