Preface to the Workshop on Domain Driven Data Mining

Following the success of SIGKDD-DDDM2007, ICDM-DDDM2008, ICDM-DDDM2009, and ICDMDDDM2010, the “2011 International Workshop on Domain Driven Data Mining (DDDM2011)” workshop aims to provide a premier forum for sharing findings, knowledge, insight, experience and lessons in tackling potential challenges in discovering actionable knowledge from complex domain problems, promoting interaction and filling the gap between academia and business, and driving a paradigm shift from interesting hidden pattern mining to actionable knowledge discovery in varying data mining domains.
