Agents and Data Mining Interaction: Where to go next? Longbing CAO University of Technology Sydney

ADMI-09 with AAMAS2009

Where to Go Scientifically  Many specific research issues

Where to Go  The scenario of Agents & Data Mining research There are many groups/researchers working on both areas But not so many on ADMI Substantial interaction and integration?  What?  How?

Where to Go  What are the directions of ADMI? Foundation of agent-mining interaction & integration?  Methodologies?  Lifecycle, process and outcome aspects Theoretical underpinnings?  AI and machine learning  Formal methods  Organizational/social computing  Emergent computation technologies  Performance evaluation

Where to Go Successful case studies and applications

Where to Go Community development  Agents: IAT, AAMAS  Data mining: SIGKDD, ICDM?  Special issues: IEEE IS, …?  Mailing lists  Steering committee?  Events?

A Long Way to Go Position/survey papers High quality papers that actually engage the coupling of agents and data mining Successful applications Research groups Submissions from everywhere Research leaders

…, but Promising Increasing researchers, papers, submissions, and interests on ADMI  Special issue on IEEE IS  Edited book by Springer Leading researchers and groups in AAMAS and KDD are increasingly involving and contributing to ADMI activities There is a need

Let’s Closely Work Together
