ADMA 2009 Call For Papers The Fifth International Conference on Advanced Data Mining and Applications (ADMA 2009) August 17-19, 2009, Beijing, China http://www.adma2009.org Contact: adma2009@bnu.edu.cn A growing attention has been directed to the study, development and application of data mining. As a result there is an urgent need for sophisticated techniques and tools that can be utilized to explore new fields of data mining, e.g. spatial data mining in the context of spatial-temporal characteristics, streaming data mining, biomedical data mining, etc. Our knowledge on data mining should also be expanded to new applications. The Fifth International Conference on Advanced Data Mining and Applications (ADMA2009) aims at bringing together the experts on data mining from around the world, and providing a leading international forum for the dissemination of original research findings in data mining, spanning applications, algorithms, software and systems, as well as different applied disciplines with potential in data mining. The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, and indexed by EI. We invite authors to submit papers on any topics of advanced data mining and applications, including but not limited to: - Advanced Data Mining Topics 1. Grand challenges of data mining 2. Parallel and distributed data mining algorithms 3. Mining on data streams 4. Graph and subgraph mining 5. Spatial data mining 6. Text, video, multimedia data mining 7. Web mining 8.
