The objective of the 7th International Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery (DaWaK 2005) is to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners to discuss research issues and experience in developing and deploying data warehousing and knowledge discovery systems, applications, and solutions. This year the conference will also focus on autonomic aspect of data warehousing and knowledge discovery. Moreover, the conference will be supplemented with invited talks, panel discussion and industrial papers.

Major Tracks: The topics of interest include in these tracks but are not limited to:
Autonomic Database Systems: Architecture of autonomic system, Self-management of data management system, Self-optimization of indexing structure, Automatic data replication, ETL process, data clustering, query optimization and automatic analysis of data based on events.
Data Warehousing: Active data warehousing, Analytical front-end tools, Data cleansing, Data warehouse architecture, Data warehouse design (conceptual, logical and physical), Data warehouse quality, Data warehouse design methodology, Data warehouse security and reliability, Design and maintenance of metadata repository, Distributed data warehousing, Multidimensional databases, View maintenance/adaptation, Multidimensional query languages, Query optimization, Parallel processing
Knowledge Discovery: Association rules and temporal association rules, Clustering, Data and knowledge representation, Data mining agents, Data mining support for the design of a data warehouse, Distributed and parallel data mining/knowledge discovery, Evaluating, consolidating, and explaining discovered knowledge, Incremental knowledge discovery, Integration of data warehousing and OLAP and data mining, Interactive data exploration and discovery, Languages and interfaces for data mining, Mining unstructured and structured texts.
Paper Submission Details: Authors are invited to submit research and application papers, not exceeding 5000 words, representing original, previously unpublished work. Papers that substantially exceed this limit will be rejected without review. However, it is possible to include additional, clarifying material in an appendix to the paper. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. All accepted papers will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer-Verlag. Paper submissions in LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) would be highly appreciated. The maximum number of pages for the final version will be 10 pages. We are negotiating an SCI journal for best four or even five papers of DaWak2005 conference.
Authors are requested to send the abstract of their paper to be received by April 15, 2005. You should submit the file of your paper to be received by April 22, 2005.
