| Data-mining has become a popular research topic in recent years for the treatment of the "data rich and information poor" syndrome. Currently, application oriented engineers are only concerned with their immediate problems, which results in an ad hoc method of problem solving. Researchers, on the other hand, lack an understanding of the practical issues of data-mining for real-world problems and often concentrate on issues that are of no significance to the practitioners. In this volume, we hope to remedy problems by (1) presenting a theoretical foundation of data-mining, and (2) providing important new directions for data-mining research. A set of well respected data mining theoreticians were invited to present their views on the fundamental science of data mining. We have also called on researchers with practical data mining experiences to present new important data-mining topics.
This volume is a collection of expanded versions of selected papers originally presented at the second workshop on Foundations and New Directions of Data Mining (2003), and represents the state-of-the-art for much of the current research in data mining. The annual workshop, which started in 2002, is held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM). The goal is to enable individuals interested in the foundational aspects of data mining to exchange ideas with each other, as well as with more applicationoriented researchers. Following the success of the previous edition, we have combined some of the best papers presented at the second workshop in this book. Each paper has been carefully peer-reviewed again to ensure journal quality. The following is a brief summary of this volume’s contents. |

 iOS App Development For Dummies
If you’ve got incredible iOS ideas, get this book and bring them to life!
iOS 7 represents the most significant update to Apple’s mobile operating system since the first iPhone was released, and even the most seasoned app developers are looking for information on how to take advantage of the latest iOS 7 features... | | Oracle 11g Streams Implementer's GuideThis Preface and the entire book are a little bit different—and that is by design. Both authors wrote this book understanding that our target audience often does not have time to read a whole book, or the Oracle documentation, from cover to cover. As such, we wrote this book with the idea that the table of contents and headings should tell... | | Technology Matters: Questions to Live With
Winner, 2009 Sally Hacker Prize given by the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT). and Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2006
Technology matters, writes David Nye, because it is inseparable from being human. We have used tools for more than 100,000 years, and their central purpose has not always been to... |
Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics in the Early Husserl (Synthese Library)Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics in the Early Husserl focuses on the first ten years of Edmund Husserl’s work, from the publication of his Philosophy of Arithmetic (1891) to that of his Logical Investigations (1900/01), and aims to precisely locate his early work in the fields of logic, philosophy of logic and philosophy of mathematics.... | | Expert Service-Oriented Architecture in C# 2005, Second EditionExpert Service-Oriented Architecture in C# 2005, Second Edition will immerse you in updated code and reference material specifically architected for Visual Studio 2005 and Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 3.0. With this book, you can get a head start on building SOA applications using the clear, conceptual discussions and practical... | | Transport Equations in Biology (Frontiers in Mathematics)This book presents models written as partial differential equations and originating from various questions in population biology, such as physiologically structured equations, adaptive dynamics, and bacterial movement. Its purpose is to derive appropriate mathematical tools and qualitative properties of the solutions (long time behavior,... |
