    Advances in Data Analysis: Theory and Applications

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The amount of data made available by the continuing advances in 
experimental measurement techniques has created both opportunities and 
major challenges towards efficient computational processing of the data 
sets. Extracting useful information (i.e., knowledge) from these large 
data sets requires an integral approach that couples the design of 
experiments or measurement techniques with the algorithms or 
applications required for the data processing and analysis. New tools 
for representing, extracting, and using the knowledge available in data 
sets are expected to emerge to perform tasks in data-rich, analysis-rich 
situations rather than being data-poor, analysis-rich, which has been 
the traditional scenario until recently. Contributions are sought that 
propose new modeling approaches and computational algorithms for 
addressing issues related to data analysis, management and data-based 
decision making. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: * 
Model based experimental design and use of new data to refine models * 
Analysis of complex systems including material and biological * Use of 
data analysis for design, optimization, and control * Interplay of first 
principles and data driven models in knowledge extraction. The following 
topics are also of interest to this session: * Distributed decision 
making in organizations * Decentralized information processing * 
Financial modeling & investment planning * Information management across 
the WWW. Applications with industrial relevance are strongly encouraged.
