Special Issue on Set-Based Methods for Reliable Modeling, Identification, Decision Making, and Simulation Submission Date: 2026-02-28 The special issue on “Set-Based Methods for Reliable Modeling, Identification, Decision Making, and Simulation” presents selected research papers that are based on presentations given during the International Symposium on Scientific Computing, Computer Arithmetic, and Verified Numerical Computations (SCAN). Its 20th edition will be held in Oldenburg, Germany, from the 22nd to 26th of September 2025.
Over the last decades, SCAN has become an important meeting place for researchers from the fields of reliable computing, software engineering, and uncertainty quantification and those from such wide and varied application areas as robotics, control, structural and civil engineering, and signal processing. The goal is, on the one hand, to put into practice modern findings in verified methods to assess the influence of uncertainty caused by modeling errors, model order reduction, or numerical methods in a rigorous manner. On the other hand, problems from practice give new impulse for theoretical developments in verification.
With this special issue, we intend to continue the tradition of publishing high-quality post-proceedings of the series of SCAN symposia on the basis of a thorough review of the latest, not yet published research results. The special issue will enhance the visibility of SCAN in the community of uncertainty modeling and quantification, both from theoretical and applied perspectives.
