			** Abstract due: 5 March 2007 **

KUPA'07 is the First International Workshop on Knowledge Management and
Discovery for Ubiquitous and Pervasive Applications, which is organized in
conjunction with the 18th International Conference on Database and Expert
Systems Applications (DEXA'07) in Regensburg, Germany, on 3-7 September
2007.

Description
-----------
Due to recent advancements in communication technology, computing, and
storage resources, ubiquitous and pervasive applications are becoming
increasingly popular. However, the large scale integration and examination
of heterogeneous and independent data and knowledge sources has created
new issues and challenges for knowledge management and acquisition.

The objective of this workshop is to bring together academics and industry
professionals to discuss recent progress and challenges in knowledge
management and discovery for ubiquitous, pervasive, distributed, and
heterogeneous environments.

Topics
------
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
*	Knowledge management and discovery for ubiquitous, pervasive,
	distributed, and/or heterogeneous environments
*	Data mining in sensor networks, mobile and embedded systems
*	Mining temporal and spatial data
*	Data stream mining
*	Sequential pattern mining
*	Link analysis and community discovery
*	Visual data mining
*	Mining from data warehouses
*	Machine learning techniques for distributed environments and 
	applications
*	Agent-based architectures for knowledge management and discovery
*	Knowledge integration and data fusion
*	Security, privacy, and trust issues
*	Applications in communication, internet, industry automation,
	medicine, multimedia, etc.
