Theme
Following a successful
MIW'2000 workshop held in Greenwich University, London in September, this
time we will continue to explore the issue of Web information management
from various perspectives with an emphasis on Data and Text Mining on
the Web. The Web, as effectively the largest heterogeneous data warehouse
in the world, accommodates a huge amount of information in various nature
which presents an exciting challenge to everyone. How to manage, retrieve,
or even discover previously unknown useful information from the Web have
been the research interests among researchers and practitioners from different
disciplines.
The aim of MIW'2001 is to clarify
the key tasks involved in the management of information on the Web with
a special focus on data and text mining. We will try to answer questions
such as: Is Web data mining any different from traditional data mining?
Is text mining simply a combination of natural language processing and data
mining? What are the differences between text mining, natural language
processing, and information retrieval? What are the relationships among
data mining, text mining and web mining? What are the promising text mining
technologies? What are the successful (as well as unsuccessful) applications?
The relevant topics may include
the following (but not limited to):
- Data mining and knowledge discovery
on the Web;
- Text mining on the Web;
- Web Information retrieval and extraction;
- Web Document categorisation;
- Database techniques for the Web;
- Data warehousing on the Web;
- Data visualisation on the Web;
- High performance computing technology
for very large databases;
- Distributed database management techniques;
- Digital library techniques.
