Brief Description
Wide-area sensor infrastructures, remote sensors, and wireless sensor networks yield massive volumes of disparate, dynamic, and geographically distributed data. As sensors are becoming ubiquitous, a set of broad requirements is beginning to emerge across high-priority applications including disaster preparedness and management, adaptability to climate change, national or homeland security, and the management of critical infrastructures.  This workshop seeks to bring together researchers from academia, government and the private sector to facilitate cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas in the area of knowledge discovery from sensor and stream data.

Topics
The major topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
o Sensor placements/querying, sensor data preprocessing, representation, and transformation
o Scalable and distributed classification, prediction, and clustering algorithms
o Predictive analysis from geographically distributed heterogeneous data
o Mining unusual patterns from massive and disparate spatio-temporal data
o Real-time extraction and analysis of dynamic and distributed data
o Mining continuous streams and ubiquitous data
o Resource-aware algorithms for distributed mining
o Real-time event detection, visualization, and alarm generation algorithms
o Combination of knowledge discovery and decision theoretic processes
o Success stories, especially about end-to-end solutions, for national or global priorities
o Real-world problem design and knowledge discovery requirements

Invited Speakers
In addition to the oral presentation of accepted papers, the workshop will feature invited talks from four leading experts in academia and government: Dr. Joydeep Ghosh, Dr. Hillol Kargupta, Dr. Pedro Domingos, and Dr. Brian A. Worley.
