KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY FROM TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL DATA
Call for ECAI 2002 Workshop Participation

http://tasda.elibel.tm.fr

TECHNICAL ASPECTS

This workshop aims at bringing together experts in data-mining, knowledge discovery, machine learning or database as well as practitioners, in order to share methods and techniques and discuss their utility for knowledge discovery, especially when formulated in high-level representation paradigms (based on temporal/spatial logic or constraints, for instance).

The following aspects, among others, are of particular interest:

• Accommodating and representing data and rules for
  temporal/spatial data mining
• Generalizing or meta-learning from association rules
• Dealing with multiple time or space granularities
• Discovering rules involving temporal intervals or spatial regions
• Improving learning efficiency and scalability
• Using background knowledge
• Uncertainty management in temporal and spatial data mining
• Similarities and differences of mining temporal and spatial data

• Electronic commerce
• Surveillance and supervision of dynamic systems
• Geographical information systems
• Medicine
• Forecast

There are three complementary ways to participate in this workshop:

• by submitting a technical paper (indicate if the paper has been
  published before)
• by submitting a technical description of a real world problem
• by submitting 1-2 pages why she or he wants to attend
  (including specification of area of interest)

All workshop participants are expected to register for the main ECAI 2002 conference. Notice also that, in order to encourage discussion and interaction, attendance will be limited to 30 participants.

It is highly recommended to submit papers using the final camera-ready formatting style (the main conference guidelines are applicable: A4 paper, no footer, no numbering). Submissions should be 6-12 pages in camera-ready format. Submissions of unformatted papers should be 6000-12000 words including footnotes, figure captions, tables, appendices, and bibliography. Each half-page of figures will be counted as 500 words.

Papers should be submitted via e-mail in PDF format (preferred) or postscript or, Microsoft Word (the worse solution) to:
