The Eighth ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD-2002) will follow on the success of previous KDD conferences. The continuing rapid growth of on-line data and the widespread use of databases have created a need and an opportunity for extracting useful knowledge from databases and making database access easier and more convenient. This conference will bring together researchers and practitioners and focus on new developments in Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining. The challenge of extracting knowledge from data is an area of common interest to researchers in several fields, including statistics, databases, pattern recognition, machine learning, data visualization, optimization and high-performance computing.
