PKDD'97 -- 1st European Symposium on Principles of
Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
Trondheim, Norway
June 25-27, 1997

Program Committee Introduction

* Pieter Adriaans Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (KDD)
* Attilio Giordana have recently emerged from a combination of
* David Hand many research areas: databases, statistics,
* Bob Henery machine learning, automated scientific
* Mikhail Kiselev discovery, inductive programming, artificial
* Willi Kloesgen intelligence, visualization, decision
* Yves Kodratoff science, and high performance computing.
* Jan Komorowski
* Heikki Manilla While each of these areas can contribute in
* Marjorie Moulet specific ways, KDD focuses on the value that
* Steve Muggleton is added by creative combination of the
* Zdzislaw Pawlak contributing areas. The goal of PKDD'97 is
* Gregory to provide a European-based forum for
Piatetsky-Shapiro interaction among all theoreticians and
* Zbigniew Ras practitioners interested in data mining.
* Lorenza Saitta Fostering an interdisciplinary collaboration
* Erik Sandewall is one desired outcome, but the main
* Wei-Min Shen long-term focus is on theoretical principles
* Arno Siebes for the emerging discipline of KDD,
* Andrzej Skowron especially those new principles that go
* Derek Sleeman beyond each of the contributing areas.
* Shusaku Tsumoto
* Raul Valdes-Perez To promote these goals, PKDD'97 will be
* Rudiger Wirth organized into tracks around the key areas
* Stefan Wrobel contributing to KDD. For each area an ideal
* Wojtek Ziarko paper should focus on how its methods
* Jan Zytkow advance KDD's goals and principles.

Both theoretical and applied submissions are
sought. Reviewers will assess the
contribution towards the main goals of
PKDD'97, in addition to the usual
requirements of novelty, clarity and
significance. Applied papers should go
beyond an individual application, presenting
an explicit method that promises a degree of
generality within some stage of the
discovery process, such as preprocessing,
mining, visualization, use of prior
knowledge, knowledge refinement, and
evaluation. Theoretical papers should
demonstrate how they advance the process of
data mining and knowledge discovery.
