######################################################################## 2012 International Symposium on Foundations and Frontiers of Data Mining (In conjunction with 2012 IEEE International Conference on Granular Computing)

http://cs.kennesaw.edu/ffdm2012.html

Hangzhou, China Aug. 11-13, 2012

######## Keynotes #########

GrC and FFDM Keynote: Xindong Wu( ICDM Steering Chair) FFDM keynotes Ming-Syan Chen (Taiwan), Jefrey YU(Hong Kong), Zhi-Hua Zhou(China)

############### 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.

################## Topics of Interest

This symposium will focus on, but not limited to, the following topics * Mathematical foundations of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery * Logical aspects of Data Mining * Modeling of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery * Theory of Learning and Discovery * Theory of Intelligence * Complexity in Data Mining and Discovery * Uncertainty in Data Mining and Discovery * Computing with Words * New paradigms for Data Mining and Learning * Mining complex data * Mining big data * Mining mobile data * Data stream mining * Data visualization * Trend analysis and emergence detection
