Investigating methods and algorithms for quantifying and solving problems with uncertainties
The 13th Solving Problems With Uncertainties (SPU) Workshop will be held as part of the International Conference in Computational Science 2026 in Hamburg, Germany.
Problems with uncertainty need to be tackled in an increasing variety of areas, from physics, chemistry, engineering, computational biology and environmental sciences to decision making in economics and social sciences. Uncertainty is unavoidable in almost all systems analysis, risk analysis, decision making and modelling and simulation. How uncertainty is handled and quantified shapes the integrity of the analysis, and the correctness and credibility of the solution and the results is especially important when tackling complex systems.
With exascale computing now being a reality, and the advances of big data analytics and scalable AI, larger and larger problems – often requiring hybrid approaches – have to be solved in a systematic way at scale. The problem of solving such problems with uncertainties and quantifying the uncertainties becomes even more important, especially in the case of complex systems, due to the variety and scale of uncertainties in such problems.
The focus of the workshop will be on methods and algorithms for solving problems with uncertainties, stochastic methods and algorithms for solving problems with uncertainties, methods and algorithms for quantifying uncertainties such as dealing with data input and missing data, sensitivity analysis (local and global), dealing with model inadequacy, model validation and averaging, software fault-tolerance and resilience and more.
The workshop will be chaired by Vassil Alexandrov, STFC Hartree Centre, and Aneta Karaivanova, IICT, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
