Advanced Data Mining and Applications 2009 Call for Papers

A growing attention has been paid to the study, development and application of data mining. As a result there is an urgent need for sophisticated techniques and tools that can handle new fields of data mining, e.g. spatial data mining in the context of spatial-temporal characteristics, streaming data mining, and biomedical data mining. Our knowledge on data mining should also have to be expanded to new applications. The 5 th International Conference on Advanced Data Mining and Applications (ADMA2009) aims at bringing together the experts on data mining in the world, and provides a leading international forum for the dissemination of original research results in data mining, spanning applications, algorithms, software and systems, and different applied disciplines with potential in data mining.

Organized by Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC)In Cooperation with Beijing Univeristy of Technology (BJUT)

In the great digital era, we are witnessing many rapid scientific andtechnological developments in human-centred, seamless computing environments,interfaces, devices, and systems with applications ranging from business andcommunication to entertainment and learning. These developments arecollectively best characterized as Active Media Technology (AMT), a new areaof intelligent information technology and computer science that emphasizes theproactive, seamless roles of interfaces and systems as well as new media inall aspects of digital life. An AMT based system offers services to enable therapid design, implementation and support of customized solutions.

The first International Conference on Active Media Technology(AMT01) was held in Hong Kong in 2001, the second InternationalConference on Active Media Technology (AMT04) was held in Chongqing,China in May 29-31 of 2004, the third International Conference onActive Media Technology (AMT05) was held in Kagawa, Japan in May2005, and the fourth International Conference on Active MediaTechnology (AMT06) was held in Brisbane, Australia in June 7-9,2006. Following the success of AMT01, AMT04, AMT05 and AMT06, theFifth International Conference on Active Media Technology (AMT09)will be held in Beijing, China in October 22-24, 2009.

Active Media Technology 2009 will be jointly held with the 2009International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI 2009). The twoconferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, andbanquet.
