Overview

The European Coordinated Action KDubiq (IST/FET 021321) seeks new challenges for knowledge discovery (data mining) in the fields of ubiquitous computing. The analysis of data in various distributed and ubiquitous environments such as: sensor networks, peer-to-peer networks, embedded systems, mobile computing devices, and grid computing platforms demands new types of knowledge discovery algorithms. Work done in this area is dispersed among several communities and in a very early stage. In order to integrate various fields, it is necessary to establish a common ground.

The 2nd European Summer School on Knowledge Discovery for Ubiquitous Computing

The European Coordinated Action KDubiq (Ubiquitous Knowledge Discovery) seeks new challenges for knowledge discovery (data mining) in the fields of ubiquitous computing. Analysis of data in various distributed and ubiquitous environments such as sensor networks, peer-to-peer networks, embedded systems, mobile computing devices, and grid computing platforms demands new types of knowledge discovery algorithms. KDubiq is a coordination action at the intersection of the two major challenges:

• highly distributed and mobile systems,
• advanced knowledge discovery systems.

The goal of the summer schools of KDubiq is to establish a common ground for the integration of the involved fields and to support the formation of a new community. Starting with an introduction into embedded systems, more specialized courses focus on wireless sensor networks and data streams. Based on a course on algorithmic foundations of distributed data mining, privacy issues, Web 2.0 and grid aspects of data mining are being taught. All courses come along with exercises for hands-on experience.
