Call for Papers
The accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of
the 2012 IEEE International Conference on Granular Computing
and indexed by EI.
Data Mining has been developed, though vigorously, under
rather ad hoc and vague concepts.
The goal of studying Foundations of Data Mining is to laying
sound foundations for data mining,
shaping new data mining paradigms, seeking solutions to long
standing data mining problems,
and stimulating new data mining research directions.
The central objective in this symposium is to explore various
fundamental issues of data mining,
spark new communications and collaborations between
researchers and practitioners,
and foster the study of data mining as a scientific field.
Both data mining researchers and practitioners are welcome
to submit original and high quality papers on relevant topics
in the field of data mining.
