The major goals of the Symposium are to exchange information and ideas on the role of data mining and present requirements and proposed solutions, provide discussions on the broad range of applicable technologies, provide policy guidance applicable to DoD and civil agency information resource managers, and identify and encourage service-unique and government-wide knowledge and use of the important technology.
