* CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Business, government and science organizations are increasingly moving 
towards decision-making processes that are based on information. In 
parallel, the amount of data representing the activities of 
organizations that is stored in databases is also growing. Therefore, 
the pressure to extract as much useful information as possible from this 
data is very strong. Data and text mining (DTM) is essentially a 
technological field enabling the improvement of the aforementioned 
processes. DTM research is, thus, essentially geared towards practical 
problems and requires permanent feedback from practical applications. 
Feedback from people with a business-oriented perspective on DTM is 
therefore useful to assess current research work and directions, to 
assess how theoretical results and methods developed in the lab stand 
the test of real world problems. And, not the least, to provide 
researchers with new challenges to work on.

Besides two excellent invited talks, you will learn about 
state-of-the-art applications in areas including marketing, economics, 
health care and law, presented by leading researchers and practitioners 
from universities and companies, such as Unilever, Capgemini, British 
Telecom, Inforsense and PowerHealth Solutions. A detailed program can be 
found in the workshop website indicated below.
