The workshop will address all topics of spatial, temporal and spatio-temporal data mining, including:
  • Methods for mining temporal, spatial and spatio-temporal data
  • Representation issues in temporal, spatial and spatio-temporal data
  • Fuzzy logic and management of uncertainty in the context of spatio-temporal data mining
  • Handling autocorrelation in spatial, temporal and spatio-temporal data
  • Mining time series and trend analysis
  • Discovery of temporal patterns
  • Visualization support to spatio-temporal data mining methods
  • Synergy of visual and computational approaches
  • Empirical studies of performance, other scalability issues
  • Database architectures for spatio-temporal data mining
  • Time-aware queries
  • Parallel and distributed sequence mining
  • Integration of data mining in GIS
  • Mining spatio-temporal patterns from unstructured documents
  • Applications in various domains, including finance and commerce, telecommunications, environment, Earth observation and monitoring, urban planning, web/road traffic, bioinformatics (protein folding, genomics), etc.
