First International Workshop on
Knowledge Discovery in Data Streams

20 September 2004, Pisa, Italy

 

The rapid growth in information science and technology in general and the complexity and volume of data in particular have introduced new challenges for the research community. Databases are growing incessantly and many sources produce data continuously. In most of real world applications, the process generating the data is not strictly stationary. In many cases, we need to extract some sort of knowledge from this continuous stream of data. Examples include customer click streams, telephone records, large sets of web pages, multimedia data, scientific data, and sets of retail chain transactions. These sources are called data streams. Learning from data streams are incremental tasks that requires incremental algorithms that take drift into account.

The goal of this workshop is to convene researchers who deal with decision rules, decision trees, association rules, clustering, filtering, preprocessing, post processing, feature selection, visualization techniques, etc. from data streams and related themes.

Research works presenting theoretical results, basic research, perspective solutions and practical developments are welcome, provided that they address the topic of the workshop. Position papers are also welcome and encouraged.
