Accepting Information with a Pinch of Salt: Handling Untrusted Information Sources

This paper describes on-going research developing a system to allow incident controllers and similar decision makers to augment official information input streams with information contributed by the wider public (either explicitly submitted to them or harvested from social networks such as Facebook and Twitter), and to be able to handle inconsistencies and uncertainty arising from the unreliability of such sources in a flexible way.
