>> Knowledge Discovery and Business Intelligence
>>
>> The aim of this thematic track is to gather the latest research in  
>> Knowledge Discovery (KD) and Business Intelligence (BI). We  
>> encourage papers that deal with the interaction with the end users,  
>> taking into account how easily one can understand data model's  
>> representation of extracted knowledge or encode expert knowledge,  
>> as well as its impact on real organizations. In particular, papers  
>> that describe experience and lessons learned from KD/BI projects  
>> and/or present business and organizational impacts using AI  
>> technologies, are welcome.
>>
>> The amount of data representing the activities of organizations  
>> that is stored in databases is exponentially growing. Moreover,  
>> business organizations are increasingly moving towards decision- 
>> making processes that are based on information. Thus, pressure to  
>> extract as much useful information as possible from these data is  
>> very strong. Knowledge Discovery (KD) is a branch of the Artificial  
>> Intelligence (AI) field that aims to extract useful and  
>> understandable high-level knowledge from complex and/or large  
>> volumes of data. Business Intelligence (BI) is an umbrella term  
>> that represents computer architectures, tools, technologies and  
>> methods to enhance managerial decision making in public and  
>> corporate enterprises, from operational to strategic level.
>>
>> KD and Data Mining (DM) are faced with new challenges. The temporal  
>> and spatial nature of the data generation demands new learning  
>> approaches, since samples' observations are no longer independent  
>> and the underlying regularities may change over time. New  
>> challenges are also to be considered when integrating background  
>> knowledge into the learning processes. Indeed, the success of  
>> hybrid models for knowledge understanding and the dead-end of  
>> several purely experimental methods in machine learning and DM are  
>> pointing to a more rationalistic view. In this context, the  
>> understanding of data and human mind emerges as crucial in  
>> combining KD with Cognitive Models. Namely, results in inductive  
>> logic or in neuro-symbolic methods seem to show the need of more  
>> knowledge aware models. Moreover, AI plays a crucial role in BI,  
>> providing methodologies to deal with prediction, optimization and  
>> adaptability to dynamic environments, in an attempt to offer  
>> support to better (more informed) decisions. In effect, several AI  
>> techniques can be used to address these problems, namely KD/DM,  
>> Evolutionary Computation and Modern Optimization, Forecasting,  
>> Neural Computing and Intelligent Agents.
>>

>> papers can have a maximum length of 12 pages. Short papers can have  
>> a maximum length of 4 pages. All papers should be prepared  
>> according to the formatting instructions of Springer LNAI series (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0 
>> ). Authors should omit their names from the submitted papers, and  
>> should take reasonable care to avoid indirectly disclosing their  
>> identity.
