Data stream mining and modeling is a recent methodology that deals with the analysis of potentially large volumes of ordered sequences of data samples. Sensor networks, e-mails, online transactions, network traffic, weather forecasting, health monitoring, industrial process monitoring, and social networks are just some of the most common sources of this kind of data. Stream data arrive continuously. They dynamically change over the time, and need to be processed as soon as they arrive, in a finite amount of time. The idea is to capture the essence of the information within the data, and represent it in the parameters and structure of a model. Thus, special-purpose evolving data analysis methods, which are able to identify patterns in data in quite a real time, are needed to address major challenges such as nonstationarity (concept change) and large datasets (Big data).

This special session is intended to collect novel ideas and share different experiences in the field of soft computing for evolving data streams. Submission of papers covering theoretical and application aspects are encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Evolving Soft Computing Techniques
Evolving Fuzzy Systems
Evolving Rule-Based Classifiers
Evolving Neuro-Fuzzy Systems
Fuzzy techniques for data stream mining
Learning in non-stationary environments
Online/incremental Fuzzy clustering
Adaptive Fuzzy Systems
Online Genetic and Evolutionary Algorithms
Adaptive Pattern Recognition
Incremental and Evolving Fuzzy ML Classifiers
Big Data analysis through Fuzzy techniques
Real-time pattern recognition
Fuzzy techniques for Diagnostics and Prognostics
Applications: Anomaly Detection, Text-mining, eHealth, Economics, Computer Vision, Process Mining, Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, Learning Analytics, Cyber Security, etc.
