Advances in Data Mining - Theoretical Aspects and Applications 7th Industrial Conference, ICDM 2007, Leipzig, Germany, July 14-18, 2007, Proceedings

ICDM / MLDM Medaillie (limited edition) Meissner Porcellan, the “White Gold” of King August the Strongest of Saxonia ICDM 2007 was the seventh event in the Industrial Conference on Data Mining series and was held in Leipzig (www.data-mining-forum.de). For this edition the Program Committee received 96 submissions from 24 countries (see Fig. 1). After the peer-review process, we accepted 25 high-quality papers for oral presentation that are included in this proceedings book. The topics range from aspects of classification and prediction, clustering, Web mining, data mining in medicine, applications of data mining, time series and frequent pattern mining, and association rule mining.
