Next Generation Data Mining and Cyber-Enabled Discovery for Innovation (NGDM'07) Workshop

来自各种来源的数据可用性的急剧增加在数据挖掘的计算、存储、通信和人机交互问题方面带来了许多根本性的挑战。科学家、工程师和企业都面临着理解复杂的网络观测、大规模模拟数据集和无处不在的感官数据流的问题。为了发现科学、艺术和技术的下一个前沿，应该链接和分析这些异构数据源。我们还需要超越当前的网络基础设施，探索下一代网络数据挖掘应用将如何支持这种大规模、无处不在、多源和数据密集型领域。本次关于下一代数据挖掘和网络支持创新发现（NGDM-07）的研讨会汇集了来自不同背景的数据挖掘研究人员、科学家和工程师，以及与网络支持创新发现（CDI）相关的各种新兴问题的领域专家。NGDM-07重点关注以下领域：科学、工程和数字人文领域的数据挖掘；基于信息隐私和安全考虑的安全监控数据挖掘；多媒体数据挖掘；普适计算和普适数据挖掘；还有网络、语义和数据挖掘。研讨会的跨学科性质为参与者提供了一个论坛，以合作分析数据挖掘的最新技术及其在CDI中的作用，制定新的数据挖掘研究方向，并概述支持CDI挑战的基本发展或基础设施问题和活动。与会者还将讨论富有成效的协作和协同活动，以促进创建CDI环境。讲习班将编写一份报告，详细说明数据挖掘研究的未来方向，并将提出有希望的研究方式，目的是促进创新和技术转让。讲习班网站（http://www.cs.umbc.edu/~hillol/NGDM07/）还提供了其他相关材料的链接。

The dramatic increase in the availability of data from various sources is creating many fundamental challenges in computing, storage, communication, and human computer interaction issues for data mining. Scientists, engineers, and businesses are faced with problems that involve understanding complex networked observations, massive simulation data sets, and ubiquitous sensory data streams. These heterogeneous data sources should be linked and analyzed for discovering the next frontiers of science, arts, and technology. We also need to look beyond the current cyber-infrastructure and explore how the next generation of networked data mining applications will support such large-scale, ubiquitous, multi-source, and data intensive domains. This workshop on Next Generation Data Mining and Cyber Enabled Discovery for Innovation (NGDM-07) brings together data mining researchers, scientists and engineers from diverse backgrounds along with domain experts for various emerging problems that are relevant to Cyber Enabled Discovery for Innovation (CDI). NGDM-07 focuses on the areas of: data mining in sciences, engineering and digital humanities; data mining for security and surveillance with information privacy and security considerations; multimedia data mining; pervasive computing and ubiquitous data mining; and the web, semantics, and data mining. The interdisciplinary nature of the workshop provides a forum for the participants to cooperatively analyze the state of the art in data mining and its role in CDI and formulate new data mining research directions, and outline development or infrastructure issues and activities that are fundamental in supporting CDI challenges. The workshop participants will also discuss fruitful collaborative and synergistic activities that will foster creation of CDI environments.The workshop will generate a report detailing future directions of data mining research and will suggest promising modalities of research with an aim to foster innovation and technology transfer.
