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

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.
