INTRODUCTION
+++++++++++++

2006 IEEE/WIC/ACM  International Workshop on
Interaction between Agents and Data Mining (IADM-06)
will be jointly held with The 2006 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on
Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT'06), which also be held with
the 2006 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'06)
and the 6th IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM'06).

In the last decade, agents and data mining have emerged as two of most
vivacious areas in information technology field. The nature and comple-
mentarity of both areas foreshows an emergent trend that is the increasing
interaction between agents and data mining. As a result, both sides obtain
great enhancement in terms of solving the existing individual challenges
and innovating new research and development opportunities. The Interaction
will greatly strengthen the progress of each side, and trigger new R&D
challenges and prospects towards the advancements of next-generation
intelligent technologies and systems as well as the enrichment of integrated
intelligence and other emergent aspects.

This international workshop, IADM-06, as one of the earliest on this cri-
tical topic, aims to encourage the interaction between agents and data 
mining
towards mutual enhancement and super-intelligent synergism. It will bring
together researchers and industry practitioners from both areas to share
the results of R&D and discuss the existing and emerging theoretical and
applied problems in the interaction and evolution. It will be held at the
beginning of the joint Conference on IAT-06, WI-06, ICDM-06, December 18,
2006 at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
+++++++++++++++++++

The IADM-06 welcomes theoretical and applied dissemination that
makes efforts
(1) to expose agent-enriched data mining to how intelligent
   agent technology can contribute to critical data mining problems in 
theory
   and practice;
(2) to uncover data mining-driven agents to how data mining
   can strengthen agent intelligence in research and practical applications;
(3) to disclose the integration of agent and data mining to how agent and
   data mining can be combined into a super-intelligent organism; and
(4) to identify challenges and directions for future research and 
development in
   the connection between agent and data mining.

All topics related to the interaction between agents and data mining are
welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

* Interaction Challenges and Prospects
- Challenges and prospects of agent and data mining interaction,
- Theoretical foundation for the interaction between agents and data mining
- Building super-intelligent organism
