CFP: 2010 Workshop on Machine learning and Data Mining for Sustainable Development

Call for Papers May 1, 2010, Workshop on Machine learning and Data Mining for Sustainable Development (http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/~tingyu/MLDMSD2010.htm) The Columbus, A Renaissance Hotel, Columbus, Ohio to be Held in Conjunction with the 2010 SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (SDM 2010) (http://www.siam.org/meetings/sdm10/) In order to handle and manage the complex nature of environmental information, special technologies, methods and systems must be developed. The objective of this workshop is to present the recent work or research in the field of machine learning and data mining for the economic and environmental data processing. The topic of the workshop involves cutting-edge machine learning and data mining algorithms and tools, and the application of machine learning and data mining techniques in sustainability development. The workshop includes, but is not limited to the following techniques and real case studies from spatial environmental problems, natural hazards, natural and renewable resources, socio-economic data and other fields of application: Machine Learning Artificial Neural Networks Optimization Knowledge discovery Data mining, spatial and temporal data mining Spatial analysis and spatial statistical models Geographic Information Systems Data visualization Important Dates Papers Due: January 15, 2010 Notification of Acceptance: February 5, 2010 Camera ready: Final Papers due to workshop: February 12, 2010 Workshop: May 1, 2010 Organizers Ting Yu: t.yu@physics.usyd.edu.au Manfred Lenzen: m.lenzen@physics.usyd.edu.au
