THE NINTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON INTELLIGENT DATA ANALYSIS

19-21 May 2010
http://hiit.fi/ida2010/

IDA REFOCUSED

The biennial IDA Symposium series started in 1995, focused on the
problem of end-to-end intelligent support for data analysis. Like
many technical conferences, the Symposium gradually detached from its
motivating problem and became associated with vanilla data mining
algorithms.

In 2010 the Symposium will return to its roots: modeling and analyzing
complex, dynamical systems using abstractions and techniques that cut
across domains. The program will be interdisciplinary, emphasizing
"first look" papers on high-impact work that might elsewhere be
considered preliminary. To stimulate interactivity, the meeting will
be held on the residential campus of Biosphere 2, near the University
of Arizona's campus in Tucson.

CALL FOR PAPERS

IDA2010 solicits papers on all aspects of intelligent data analysis,
particularly papers on intelligent support for modeling and analyzing
complex, dynamical systems. IDA2010 particularly encourages papers
about:

- Novel applications of IDA techniques to complex systems
- Novel modes of data acquisition and the associated issues
- Robustness and scalability issues of IDA techniques
- Visualization and dissemination of results

Intelligent support for data analysis goes beyond the usual
algorithmic offerings in the data mining literature. Papers about
established technology will only be accepted if the technology is
embedded in intelligent data analysis systems, or is applied in novel
ways to analyzing and/or modeling complex systems.

The conventional reviewing process, which favors incremental advances
on established work, can discourage the kinds of papers that IDA 2010
hopes to publish. The reviewing process will address this issue
explicitly: referees will evaluate papers against the stated goals of
the symposium, and any paper for which at least one senior program
committee member writes an informed, thoughtful, positive review will
be accepted irrespective of other reviews. The proceedings of IDA2010
will again appear in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science
series.

webpage (www.ida2010.org) or contact the program chairs.
