drift detection (whether a drift occurs), understanding (where, when, and how a
drift occurs), and adaptation (to actively or passively update models).
Recently we have seen several new successful developments in Stream Learning
such as massive stream learning algorithms; incremental and online learning for
streaming data; and streaming data- based decision-making methods. These
developments have demonstrated how Stream Learning technologies can contribute
to the implementation of machine learning capability in dynamic systems. We
