THIRD WORKSHOP ON HIGH PERFORMANCE DATA MINING
Location: Cancun, Mexico

Description:

The 3rd WORKSHOP ON HIGH PERFORMANCE DATA MINING
Friday, May 5th, 2000, Cancun, Mexico
with Int'l Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS'00)
(the new name for the merged IPPS and SPDP conferences)

The explosive growth in data collection in business and scientific fields has literally forced upon us the need to analyze and mine useful knowledge from it. Data mining refers to the entire process of extracting useful and novel patterns/models from large datasets. Due to the huge size of data and amount of computation involved in data mining, high-performance computing is an essential component for any successful large-scale data mining application. This workshop will provide a forum for presenting recent results in high-performance computing for data mining including applications, algorithms, software, and systems. High-performance should be broadly interpreted as including scalable sequential as well as parallel and distributed algorithms and systems.

Workshop proceedings will be published as a volume in Springer-Verlag's LNCS series. For up-to-date information on this workshop, please see www.cs.rpi.edu/~zaki/HPDM/.

OBJECTIVES

Data mining is a promising and relatively new area of current research and development which can provide important advantages to the users. It can yield substantial knowledge from data primarily gathered for a wide range of quite different applications. Financial institutions have derived considerable benefits from its application and other industries and disciplines are now applying the methodology to increasing effect.

The second International Conference on Data Mining will provide an international forum for the sharing of original research results and practical development experiences among researchers and applications developers from different areas such as computer experts, statisticians, knowledge acquisition specialists, data analysts, IT consultants, data visualisation experts, and users and developers in business and industry.

The Conference aims to bring together the participants from academic and research, industry and government organisations. The meeting will allow participants to learn about the many different applications of data mining and how the techniques can help in their own field.
