·         Discuss the aforementioned technical challenges in mining temporal data.

·         Present the different application case studies on temporal data mining

 Tentative Contents

Topics include but will not limit to:

• Temporal data benchmarking
• Temporal pattern discovery
• Clustering for temporal data
• Prediction for temporal data
• Time series characterization and analysis
• Statistical analysis of temporal data
• Accommodating domain knowledge in the temporal mining process
• Complexity, efficiency and scalability of temporal data mining algorithms
• Content-based search, retrieval for temporal data
• Process Mining
• Case Studies and Applications of Temporal Data Mining, such as
  • Adaptive workflow management
  • Bioinformatics
  • Information navigation
  • Program behavior analysis
  • Security management
  • System management
  • Web services and etc.
