Scope

This symposium aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on different aspects of machine learning, data mining and sensor networks technologies in an effort to highlight the state-of-the-art and discuss the challenges and opportunities to explore new research directions.

MISD aims to bring together people from both academia and industry for original discussions and to prompt future directions in the development of new techniques and strategies for sensory data. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Applications and deployment experiences on mining sensory data
• Applications of data mining for senor networks in business, science, engineering, medicine, and other disciplines with particular attention to lessons learned.
• Data mining approaches to overcome sensor limitations such as available energy for transmission, computational power, memory, and communications bandwidth.
• Data mining approaches to overcome sensor limitations such as available energy for transmission, computational power, memory, and communications bandwidth.
• Data mining processes including data selection, sampling, cleaning, reduction, transformation, integration and aggregation, as well as model development, validation and deployment.
• Data processing, storage and management for WSN
• Detection, classification, and tracking of sensory information
• Distributed algorithms and reasoning of sensory data
• Distributed and collaborative signal processing for WSN
• Distributed Bayesian learning (belief networks, decision networks)
• Distributed clustering methods (distributed k-Means, dynamic neural networks)
• Distributed machine learning (neural networks, support vector machines, decisions trees and rules, genetic algorithms) in sensor networks
• Distributed Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA)
• Distributed statistical regression methods in sensor networks.
• Efficient, scalable and distributed algorithms for large-scale DDM tasks such as classification, prediction, link analysis, time series analysis, clustering, and anomaly detection.
• Fault tolerance and identification in WSN
• Fundamental bounds and formulations of intelligence in WSN
• Incremental, exploratory and interactive mining.
• Location, time, and other network services for WSN
• Mining of data streams.
• Mining security violations and patterns for WSN
• Network health monitoring and management for WSN
• Network protocols for WSN
• Operating systems and runtime environments
• Power consumption characteristics of distributed data mining algorithms and developing data mining algorithms to minimize power consumption.
• Privacy sensitive data mining.
• Programming models and languages
• Sensor tasking, control, and actuation
• Simulation of WSN
• Software agents approaches.
• Theoretical foundations in data mining and sensor network; extensions of computational learning theory to sensor networks.
• Visual data mining for sensory data.
