Managing Uncertain Data: Probabilistic Approaches

Uncertain data are inherent in many important applications. Recently, considerable research efforts have been put into the field of managing uncertain data. In this paper, we summarize existing techniques to query and model uncertain data and systems that effectively manage uncertain data, mainly from a probabilistic point of view.
