Ebook: From Data and Information Analysis to Knowledge Engineering: Proceedings of the 29th Annual Conference of the Gesellschaft für Klassifikation e.V. University of Magdeburg, March 9–11, 2005

This volume collects revised versions of selected papers presented during the 29th Annual Conference of the Gesellschaft f?r Klassifikation (GfKl), the German Classification Society, held at the Otto-von-Guericke-University of Magdeburg, Germany, in March 2005.

In addition to papers on traditional subjects such as Classification, Clustering, and Data Analysis, there are many papers on a wide range of topics with a strong relation to Computer Science: Text Mining, Web Mining, Fuzzy Data Analysis, IT Security, Adaptivity and Personalization, and Visualization. Application-oriented topics include Economics, Marketing, Banking and Finance, Medicine, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, and Music Analysis.
