IS 2012 Opening and Award Ceremony

Conference on Data Mining and Data Warehouses (SiKDD 2012)

Data handling technologies are significantly progressing. The first phases mainly dealing with storing and efficiently accessing the data, resulted in the development of industry delivering tools for handling large databases, standardization of related processes, queering languages, etc. When the data storage was not a primary problem any more the need for improving the database organization resulted in the databases supporting not only transactions but also analytical views of the data.
At this point data warehousing with OLAP (On-Line-Analytical-Processing) entered as a usual part of a company information system. The OLAP paradigme stil requires from the user to set well defined questions which is not always easy and possible. This led to the development of Data Mining offering automatic data analysis trying to obtain some new information from the existing data and enabling the user some new insights in the data.
Further development of methods for Text and Multimedia Mining enables handling textual, video and audio data in addition to well structured data in databases. Large amount of data and activities on the Web is further addressed in Web Mining where in addition to content of the Web documents, the structure of the Web and Web log-files are analysed. Structure of interconnected data objects is also in focus of Link Detection and Link Analysis, as for instance in Social Network Analysis.

Conference Cognitive Sciences: From Watching To Seeing

This years’ cognitive science conference is dedicated to vision - a cognitive phenomenon, the research of which stretches across the wide range of disciplines: from basic neurophysiological level, all the way to psychological, phenomenological and philosophical considerations. The title of the conference: From Watching to Seeing, is meant to encapsulate the attempt of cognitive science to breach the so called explanatory gap, i.e. the divide between third-person descriptions (events in neurological system) and first-person perspectives (reports on lived human experience).

Konferenca je namenjena proučevanju novih načinov dela in skupnega življenja v vzgojno-izobraževalnem procesu, ki jih prinaša sodobna informacijska in komunikacijska tehnologija. Proučili bomo informacijske izzive v procesih vzgoje in izobraževanja.

Intelligent Systems Conference

The Intelligent Systems conference is a traditional conference of the Multiconference Information Society. The conference has a wide scope. It addresses all aspects of Information Society and, particularly, of Intelligent Systems, i.e., computer-based systems in Information Society. The Information Society is changing the world and affecting Slovene society. Which are the trends, perspectives, advantages and disadvantages, opportunities and threats, of the Information Society and Intelligent Systems? What kind of problems can be solved by Intelligent Systems? How to design and develop them? How to use them in practice, and what are the experiences?
