Special Issue on

    Recent Advances in Mining Patterns from Complex Data 

            of the Journal of Intelligent Information System



Scope and Background

Mining Complex Data refers to an advanced research field of knowldedge discovery and data mining concerning the development and analysis of methods for discovering patterns and models from data with a complex structure (e.g. multi-relational data, XML data, web data, time series and sequences, graphs and trees). Complex data pose new challenges for current research in data mining and knowledge discovery as they require new methods for storing, managing and analysing them.

We welcome submissions focusing on recent advances and latest developments in the analysis of complex data sources such as blogs, event or log data, medical data, spatio-temporal data, social networks, mobility data, sensor data and streams. Submissions discussing and introducing new algorithmic foundations and representation formalisms in pattern discovery are also welcome. Finally, we encourage submissions from the areas of statistics and machine learning, which present advanced techniques that take advantage of the informative richness of complex data for identifying, efficiently and effectively, new patterns.

Submission

Manuscript Submission

Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.


Online Submission

Authors should sumbit their paper by using the EM system for JIIS
(
https://www.editorialmanager.com/jiis/default.aspx ) and selecting article type "Recent Advances in Mining Pattern from Complex Data".

All source files uploaded in the online submission system will be automatically compiled into a single PDF file to be approved by the authors at the end of the submission process. While the compiled PDF will be used for peer-review purposes, uploaded source files will be transferred to the publisher for publication upon acceptance.

Please do not use subfolders for your LaTeX submission, e.g. for figures or bibliographic files. Further technical information on uploading and compiling your LaTeX submission can be found under
