Call For Papers

The Eighth International Workshop on Agents and Data Mining Interaction (ADMI-12)
Valencia, Spain, June 4-8, 2012
http://admi12.agentmining.org/

Held in conjunction with
Eleventh International Joint Conference on AUTONOMOUS AGENTS AND MULTIAGENT SYSTEMS (AAMAS-2012)
http://aamas2012.webs.upv.es/

Important dates:
- Electronic submission of full papers: February 28, 2012
- Notification of paper acceptance: April. 10, 2012
- Camera-ready copies of accepted papers: April 15, 2012
- AAMAS-2012 workshop: June 4-5, 2012

Scope:
The ADMI workshop provides a premier forum for sharing research and engineering results, as well as

potential challenges and prospects encountered in the respective communities and the coupling

between agents and data mining. The workshop welcomes theoretical work and applied dissemination

aiming to: (1) exploit agent-enriched data mining and demonstrate how intelligent agent technology

can contribute to critical data mining problems in theory and practice; (2) improve data mining-

driven agents and show how data mining can strengthen agent intelligence in research and practical

applications; (3) explore the integration of agents and data mining towards a super-intelligent

system; (4) discuss existing results, new problems, challenges and impact of integration of agent

and data mining technologies as applied to highly distributed heterogeneous, including mobile,

systems operating in ubiquitous and P2P environments; and (5) identify challenges and directions for

future research and development on the synergy between agents and data mining.

The workshop encourages submissions on, but not limited to:
1. Principles and foundations for agent mining
