Welcome to UK-KDD 2008

The 2008 UK KDD Symposium (UK-KDD-08) will be hosted by the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bristol. This one day symposium is intended to provide a forum for discussion, dissemination and exchange of ideas between practitioners and researchers working within the broad field of Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD). To this end a number of key people will be presenting a "state of the art" review of much of the KDD research work currently in progress within UK institutions. Following the success of UK KDD'05 hosted by the University of Liverpool, UK KDD'06 hosted by the University of East Anglia and UK KDD'07 hosted at the University of Kent, it is hoped that the symposium will once again attract delegates, both national and international, who are either directly involved in KDD or have a significant interest in the subject, and that the meeting will consequently afford an opportunity for lively debate and discussion. The symposium will end with a plenary session to discuss future directions and opportunities.
