Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) have
emerged from a combination of many research areas: databases,
statistics, machine learning, automated scientific discovery,
inductive logic, programming, artificial intelligence,
visualization, decision science, and high performance
computing. While each of these areas can contribute in
specific ways, KDD focuses on the value that is added by
creative combination of the contributing areas.

The goal of PKDD'2000 is to provide a European- based forum for
interaction among all theoreticians and practitioners
interested in data mining. Interdisciplinary collaboration is
one desired outcome, but the main long-term focus is on
theoretical principles for the emerging discipline of KDD and
on practical applications of discovery systems that are built
on those principles. We seek the KDD-specific principles that
go beyond each contributing area. We seek a new generation of
applications that go beyond applications developed in each
contributing area.


Five workshops will be organized at PKDD'2000:

                                  Workshop 1
                                 ============

          Data Mining, Decision Support, Meta-learning and ILP:
  Forum for  Practical Problem Presentation and Prospective Solutions
  Time.

Chairs: Pavel Brazdil and Alipio Jorge, University of Porto, Portugal
email: pbrazdil@ncc.up.pt, amjorge@ncc.up.pt

Deadline : June 15, 2000h

The objective is to provide a forum for interchange of ideas between
researchers and representatives of companies involved in applying the
existing technologies in solving of real problems. Researchers will
describe their experience in applying the methodologies to problems of
commercial, industrial and social interest. The representatives of
companies will describe not only their success stories, but also
concerns about the directions the research should follow.

                                   Workshop 2
                                  ============

      PKDD Workshop on Temporal, Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Data
      Mining
                                   (TSDM2000)

Chairs: John F. Roddick, Flinders U., South Australia
         Kathleen Hornsby, U.Maine, USA
email: roddick@cs.flinders.edu.au, khornsby@spatial.maine.edu

Deadline : June 15, 2000h

The workshop will focus on research and practice of knowledge
discovery from datasets containing explicit or implicit temporal or
spatial information. Main topics of the workshop are: temporal
association rule mining, time and space-oriented sequence
mining,temporal and spatial classification, mining from geographic and
geo-referenced data, spatial data mining, spatial clustering methods,
spatio-temporal data mining, KDD processes and frameworks specifically
catering for temporal and spatial data mining.

Deadline : will be announced

As "Textual Information Access" we denote here both the emerging
interdisciplinary community of researchers from different fields
sharing interest in the textual data objects and machine or
statistical learning techniques aiming to develop automatic text
analysis systems. Among the main topics are: information retrieval and
filtering, multi-media information access, topic detection and
tracking, text summarisation, representation techniques of textual
information semantics, etc.

Website: will be announced



                                 Workshop 5
                                ============

                 Knowledge Management: Theory and Applications

Chair: Jean-Louis Ermine, CEA Paris, France
email: ermine@cartier.cea.fr

Deadline : June 15th , 2000

Knowledge management is the process of extracting knowledge from the
sources accessible to persons in an organisation (structured data in
databases, semi-structured data on the web and company documents,
unstructured data in the brain of persons, multimedia data). The
following topics are involved: knowledge capture, knowledge synthesis,
knowledge dissemination, models and methodologies for knowledge
management, etc.
