Workshop Overview
-----------------
With the advent of mobile devices, more and more applications and services become available for mobile users. As users can now interact with these services almost anytime and anywhere, a massive number of user behavior data, which contains rich information like time, location and device info, have been recorded. Mining this information-rich behavior data of mobile users can not only help improve the efficiency of the society, e.g. improving the road traffic condition and traffic event alerting, but also is extremely important for consumer-side business for better user experience, such as mobile ecommerce and mobile search. Though the topic of mobile data mining have studied for years, there are still many technical and domain challenges inherent in designing and implementing effective data mining solutions for different mobile-based applications.

To that end, this workshop offers an opportunity to address the related research challenges and the possible solutions from both academic and industrial perspective, which includes but not limited to:
· spatial-temporal data mining
· user modeling and targeting in mobile environment
· user behavior prediction (e.g. POI recommendation, purchase prediction for mobile ecommerce)
· recommendation algorithms and recommender systems for products or services in consumer end
· mobile data mining for mobile search
· privacy issues in mobile data mining
