==================================================================

Data mining and knowledge discovery is rapidly becoming an
important tool in all walks of human endeavor including
science, engineering, industrial processes, healthcare,
business, medicine and society. The datasets in these fields
are large, complex, and often noisy. Extracting knowledge
requires the use of sophisticated, high-performance and
principled analysis techniques and algorithms, based on sound
theoretical and statistical foundations. These techniques in
turn require powerful visualization technologies;
implementations that must be carefully tuned for performance;
software systems that are usable by scientists, engineers, and
physicians as well as researchers; and infrastructures that
support them.

This conference provides a venue for researchers who are
addressing these problems to present their work in a
peer-reviewed forum. It also provides an ideal setting for
graduate students and others new to the field to learn about
cutting-edge research by hearing outstanding invited speakers
and attending tutorials (included with conference
registration). A set of focused workshops are also held on the
last day of the conference. The proceedings of the conference
are published in archival form, and are also made available on
the SIAM web site.
