                  Mining Massive Data Sets for Security

                         September 10 - 21, 2007

                     Villa Cagnola - Gazzada - Italy

This  2-week Workshop brings together scientists and engineers 
interested in recent developments in exploiting Massive Data Sets. 
Emphasis is placed on available techniques and their application to 
security-critical applications.

The Workshop is sponsored by the PASCAL and the MUSCLE Networks of 
Excellence

*Important*

Limited funding is available for participants, see the Workshop web page.

This workshop is intended as a forum for discussion and participants are 
required to attend for the whole duration of the workshop.

Workshop Dead line for registration : June 15 2007

*Objective*

Today our world is awash in data and we live in an Information Society  
where every action leaves a trace, generating massive amounts of data.
Recent scientific developments provide technologies to exploit these  
huge amounts of data and extract from it critical information. Used  
today in many commercial applications (marketing campaigns, user  
profiling and recommendations on e-commerce sites, web search, users  
communities ...), these technologies can also be used for  
security-critical applications (fraud detection and money laundering,  
intrusions detection, intelligence gathering, terrorist networks

detection, Web surveillance...).

It is the purpose of this workshop to review the various technologies  
available (data mining, social networks, search engines, crawling and  
indexing, text-mining, data streams) in the context of   very large data 
sets.

The workshop will provide survey presentations , oral presentations  & 
posters to help   building a scientific community aware of security 
issues and techniques   to solve them.
