Before revision: In scientific modelling, in which the prediction of future events should be understood to have a range of expected values In optimization, uncertainty permits one to describe situations where the user does not have full control on the outcome of the optimization procedure, see scenario optimization and stochastic optimization.
After revision: computer science, and in particular data management, uncertain data is commonplace and can be modeled and stored within an uncertain database InIn scientific modelling, in which the prediction of future events should be understood to have a range of expected values In optimization, uncertainty permits one to describe situations where the user does not have full control on the outcome of the optimization procedure, see scenario optimization and stochastic optimization.
