Gorodetski, St. Petersburg Institute for Informatics and Automation, Russia Pericles A. Mitkas, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki In the last decade, agents and data mining have emerged as two of the most vigorous areas in information technology. The nature and complementarity of both areas foreshows an emerging trend—the increasing interaction and integration between agents and data mining. A symbiotic relationship could significantly strengthen each side’s progress and trigger new R&D challenges and prospects toward the advancement of next-generation intelligent technologies and systems as well as the enrichment of integrated intelligence and other emergent aspects. This special issue aspires to report pioneering action on this critical topic and aims to encourage the interaction between agents and data mining toward mutual enhancement and superintelligent techniques and synergism. It will bring together researchers and industry practitioners from both areas to share R&D results and discuss existing and emerging theoretical and applied problems in the interaction and evolution of agents and data mining. Topic areas include (but aren’t limited to): * challenges and prospects of agents and data mining interaction, * agent-enriched knowledge discovery and data mining, * data-mining-driven agent intelligence enhancement, * agent-mining symbiosis performance evaluation, and * emerging intelligent applications and systems. Important Dates: Submissions due for review: 15 Sept. 2008 Notification of acceptance: 6 Jan. 2009 Final version submitted: 20 Jan. 2009 Issue publication: May 2009 Submission Guidelines: Submissions should be 3,000 to 7,500 words (counting a standard figure or table as 200 words) and should follow the magazine’s style and presentation guidelines (see www.computer.org/portal/pages/intelligent/mc/author.html).

However, very often the knowledge discovered cannot generally satisfy real business needs because it is very challenging to discover knowledge for decision-making actions in real-world domain problems. /*Domain Driven Data Mining*/ aims at actionable knowledge discovery, which has thus been recognized as one of the grand challenges and the most promising ways in next-generation knowledge discovery and data mining. / *Book Aims* /This edited book aims to report the state-of-art research and development outcomes on problems and corresponding methodologies, techniques, approaches and successful applications in mining actionable knowledge in specific domains. The book encourages high quality chapters not only enhancing the actionability and wider deployment of existing data-centered data mining through combining domain and business oriented factors, constraints and network and human intelligence, but also promoting a paradigm shift from “data-centered pattern mining” to “domain driven actionable knowledge discovery” for next-generation KDD enterprise applications./ *Scopes of Interest (not limited to):* * * /Domain driven data mining: / l Trends of Enterprise Data Mining l DDDM Methodologies and Framework l Involving domain knowledge l Involving human intelligence l Involving network intelligence l Involving organizational and social factors l Business interestingness l User preferences l Dependability, Privacy, Trust, Workability l Knowledge actionability l Post mining and processing l Decision-support knowledge delivery /Enterprise// data mining applications:/ l Application Issues l Bioinformatics Mining l Blog Data Mining l Business Data Mining l Crime and National Security Mining l E-Commerce Data Mining l Financial Data Mining l Health Data Mining l Insurance Data Mining l Scientific Data Mining l Social Security Mining l Taxation Data Mining *Submissions* /Two-stage submission: First, interested researchers and practitioners are invited to submit a chapter proposal clearly stating your focused domain problems and contributions related to one of the above topics due on *February 10, 2008*; Second, authors of accepted proposals will be notified by *February* *15, 2008 *about the status of their proposals and sent chapter organizational guidelines.* *Full chapters are due by *April 30, 2008*.
