ADMA 2011 will take place in Tsinghua University, Beijing, 17th-19th December 2011. It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute papers, register and participate at ADMA 2011. The conference aims at bringing together the experts on data mining from around the world, and providing a leading international forum for the dissemination of original research findings in data mining, spanning applications, algorithms, software and systems, as well as different applied disciplines with potential in data mining.

The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, and indexed by EI. A selected number of the accepted papers will be expanded and revised for possible inclusion in Data & Knowledge Engineering (indexed by *SCI*). High-quality papers that particularly address the intelligent systems issues will be highly recommended for ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology (*ACM TIST*) publication in their extensions in rapid review and publication.

We call for papers on any topics of advanced data mining and applications, including but not limited to:

 Advanced Data Mining Topics
