Dear colleagues,
The Eleventh International Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis
(IDA 2012) will be organized in Helsinki, Finland during 25-27 October,
2012. The call for papers is found at: http://ida2012.org/cfp.html
We are quickly approaching the submission deadline on May 12, 2012.
The submission system is open. The format of submissions is 11 pages
in the Springer LNCS format. More detailed information and the link
to the submission system can be found on: http://ida2012.org/submission.html

CALL FOR PAPERS
The Eleventh International Symposium on
Intelligent Data Analysis (IDA 2012)
October 25-27, 2012, Helsinki, Finland

When the IDA symposium series started in 1995, it focussed on the
problem of end-to-end intelligent support for data analysis. In
2010, the IDA symposium re-focussed to support papers that go
beyond established technology and offer genuinely novel and
“game-changing” ideas, whilst not always being as fully realised as
papers submitted to other conferences. IDA 2012 continues this
approach and will include an important and still emerging class of
problems: the analysis of data from networked digital information
systems such as mobile devices, remote sensors, streaming
applications (e.g. Twitter), etc.
The IDA symposium seeks “first look” papers that might elsewhere be
considered preliminary but contain potentially high impact
research. The IDA symposium, which is A-ranked according to ERA, is
open to all kinds of modelling and analysis methods, irrespective
of discipline. It is expected to be an interdisciplinary meeting
that seeks abstractions that cut across domains. IDA 2012 welcomes
papers that focus on dynamic and evolving data, models, and
structures and the analysis of data from digital environments.
FRONTIER PRIZE
In line with the theme of IDA 2012, the IDA Frontier Prize will be
awarded to the most visionary contribution. Submissions considered
for this award must present novel and surprising approaches to data
analysis. The award consists of a plaque and a prize of 1000 Euros.
CALL FOR PAPERS
IDA solicits papers on all aspects of intelligent data analysis,
including papers on intelligent support for modelling and analyzing
data from complex, dynamical systems. IDA 2012 particularly
encourages papers about:
– Novel applications of IDA techniques to, e.g., digital environments
– Novel modes of data acquisition and the associated issues
– Robustness and scalability issues of intelligent data analysis techniques
– Visualization and dissemination of results
Intelligent support for data analysis goes beyond the usual
algorithmic offerings in the literature. Papers about established
technology will only be accepted if the technology is embedded in
intelligent data analysis systems, or is applied in novel ways to
analyzing and/or modelling complex systems.
The conventional reviewing process, which favours incremental
advances on established work, can discourage the kinds of papers
that IDA 2012 hopes to publish. The reviewing process will address
this issue explicitly: referees will evaluate papers against the
stated goals of the symposium, and any paper for which at least one
program chair advisor writes an informed, thoughtful, positive
review will be accepted irrespective of other reviews.
The proceedings of IDA 2012 will appear in Springer’s Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS) series. For more details on submission
and review process, see the IDA webpage at http://www.ida2012.org
or contact the program chairs. News and updates will be posted on the
IDA Twitter account @ida_news.
