IDA 2003 will take place in Berlin August 28-30, 2003, and is organized by the Free University of Berlin and the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg. It will consist of a stimulating program of invited talks by leading international experts in intelligent data analysis, tutorials, contributed papers, poster sessions, and an exciting social program.

Our aim for the biannual IDA symposia is to bring together a wide variety of researchers - academic, industrial, and otherwise - who are concerned with extracting knowledge from data, including people from statistics, machine learning, neural networks, computer science, pattern recognition, database management, and other areas. IDA 2003 is intended to stimulate interaction between these different areas, so that more powerful tools emerge for extracting knowledge from data and a better understanding is developed of the process of intelligent data analysis.
