=================================================================================
Workshop on Research Issues on Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (DMKD'97)
in cooperation with ACM-SIGMOD'97
Tucson, Arizona, May 11, 1997
==========================================
(URL: http://fas.sfu.ca/cs/conf/dmkd97.html)
OBJECTIVES
Mining knowledge from large databases and data warehouses is a promising
research area, with high application potential due to the huge amounts
of data accumulated in databases, data warehouses, and other information
repositories. Coupled with the rapid growth of data, data mining has
attracted people from many different fields, including database systems,
data warehouses, machine learning, knowledge acquisition, statistics,
information retrieval, and data visualization. The past conferences and
workshops dedicated to knowledge discovery in databases are associated
with conferences with very diverse themes. It is important to have such
a forum associated with database conferences as well to examine mining
issues particularly related to database systems. Consequently, in June
1996, we organized a SIGMOD workshop on research issues on data mining and
knowledge discovery. It was well attended and was widely considered to be
successful in creating a forum for database researchers to exchange their
research ideas and results in data mining. To continue to provide such a
forum, we are organizing the second workshop again in cooperation with SIGMOD.
