WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

The Workshop on Research Issues in Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (DMKD) was started five years ago to foster discussion and investigation of data mining research issues pertinent to large databases and data warehouses. Over these years, data mining as a discipline has matured considerably. Particularly strong progress has been made in the design of scalable algorithms that transform the oceans of bits in very large databases into interpretable patterns and predictive models.

This year's sixth DMKD workshop is aimed at discussing the next generation of data mining research, with the goal of bringing together researchers and experienced practitioners from academia and industry. The atmosphere of the workshop will be informal, fostering interaction through short presentations and open discussion of new research visions and industrial experiences. The workshop is being held in cooperation with SIGMOD/PODS 2001.
