=============================================================
AIM and SCOPE
During the last two decades data mining has shown tremendous development
and has become a distinct and mature discipline. Numerous methods have
been proposed to discover different representations of knowledge from
data and the number of their applications in various fields is
continuously growing. Nevertheless, many of current approaches are
focused on using a single learning algorithm on a static data layout.
In many domains such a simplistic strategy appears to be too
restrictive. Modern automatic systems are able to collect huge volumes
of data, often with a complex structure. This fact poses new challenges
for current information systems with respect to storing, managing or
processing data. It also highlights the need for new scalable
algorithmic solutions allowing for data summarizing, sampling and
approximating.
This need is particularly visible in the emerging domain of stream data
mining, where large volumes of data records are generated continuously.
The amounts of data arriving at a high rate, often with dynamically
changing characteristics, require real-time or near-real-time analysis
and introduce constraints to the available amount of operating memory.
This makes particularly interesting the algorithms, which are not only
scalable but also can adapt to the concept drifts.
Such issues are considered by experts coming from different fields such
as SQL and non-SQL databases, data mining, machine learning, statistics
and engineering. We believe it is time to enhance communication between
these communities. The aim of this workshop is to gather researchers
interested in discussing and introducing new algorithmic foundations and
application aspects of mining real world difficult data.
--------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS of INTEREST
---------------------------------------------------------------
We invite all researchers and practitioners who are developing
algorithms, systems, and applications, to share their results, ideas,
and experiences. Besides the main topic covering complex data streams,
related aspects of efficient processing of massive data and knowledge
discovery from large databases are also welcomed.
Suggested topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
Integration of different, heterogeneous or distributed data sources
Pre-processing, structuring and organizing complex data
Handling complex values and complex patterns in data
Mining text, web, multimedia, semi-structured, and graph data
Scalability in processing large data volumes
Sampling techniques for massive data
Approximate processing
Handling machine-generated data
Integrating parallel data streams
Classification, clustering and frequent patterns from data streams
Detecting and adapting to changes and concept drift in evolving data
Incremental online learning algorithms
Knowledge discovery from ubiquitous environments
Privacy preserving in knowledge discovery from data
Applications, especially in scientific data, medicine, text processing,
web mining, image or multimedia analysis, sensor networks, bio-informatics
