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.
