[Freegis-list] Call For Participation - SSTDM 07'

[daij@leda.nvc.cs.vt.edu]

We would like to invite you to attend the International Workshop on Spatial
and Spatial-temporal Data Mining (SSTDM 2007), collocated with ICDM in 
Omaha, NE on October 28, 2007.  The workshop aims to bring together 
researchers, developers, and practitioners in the field of spatial and 
spatio-temporal data mining in order to identify current research foci,
vital areas of need, and critical points of synergy. The workshop will 
kick-off with the keynote speech by Dr. Le Gruenwald, Program Director - 
Information Integration & Informatics (III) Cluster at the National Science 
Foundation. Dr. Gruenwald will discuss the NSF initiatives including CDI 
and the relevance of spatial and spatial-temporal data mining research to
those initiatives. There will be a dynamic panel in the afternoon on 
Spatial-Temporal Patterns in Human Activity Data Sets. The details of the 
workshop program can be found at http://spatial.nvc.cs.vt.edu/sstdm07.  The 
program is also repeated below. We look forward to your participation in 
the workshop.

      		 In cooperation with IEEE ICDM 2007
                http://www.ist.unomaha.edu/icdm2007/

The 2nd International Workshop on Spatial and Spatial-temporal Data Mining 
aims to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners in the 
field of spatial and spatio-temporal data mining in order to identify 
current research foci, vital areas of need, and critical points of synergy. 
The workshop facilitates the cross-fertilization of novel ideas and 
promotes their transfer into practical tools, for developing effective 
mining systems and pursuing spatial and spatial-temporal mining 
applications. Selected papers will appear in the ��GeoInformatica�� journal 
as a special issue. SSTDM will have an invited speaker, a workshop panel, 
9 full papers and 7 short papers.
