DMSI 2013 - 2013 International Conference on Advances in Data Mining and Security Informatics

2013 International Conference on Advances in Data Mining and Security Informatics (DMSI-13). DMSI-13 will be held during December 18-20, 2013 in Tumkur (near Bangalore), India. DMSI-13 will be held at the same place and time where few other related conferences will be held (click here for details http://www.iiconference.org/) to make it an ideal platform for scientific information interchange in a broad range of areas. DMSI is a biannual conference..
Since the introduction of Web 2.0/3.0 and increasing fascinating trends of online social interactions, the World Wide Web (WWW) and computer-assisted social media have become an important platform to exchange thoughts and information in Crberspace. Interactions through emails, blogs, microblogs, social networking sites, and instant messengers are among the few popular communication types. Despite legitimate use, the computer-assisted social media and their features are also being exploited by the anti-social elements to practice various types of crimes, including terrorism, racism, hate, propaganda, and cheating. As a result, a huge amount of computer-mediated unstructured, semi-structured, or structured data is available on the WWW, which unabated growth is becoming a challenging task for intelligence agencies to track movement and activities of suspects in Cyberspace. Since tracking of a single suspect can generate a large amount of data, important details can be lost in a large volume of texts resulting into an information overload problem. This has brought new challenges and uncovered the need for intelligent and efficient data mining techniques to deal effectively with diversified nature and huge volume of data.
In the recent past, it has been realized by many researchers that data mining techniques could be very useful for many national and international security initiatives. Primarily focusing on extraction of implicit and novel patterns (knowledge) from huge databases (structured data), data mining techniques have also proven to be very effective for analyzing unstructured (text documents) and semi-structured (Web documents) data. Consequently, various research areas like text mining, web mining, and social media analysis and mining have emerged in recent past. In the context of Web surveillance, data mining can be a potential mean to identify Cyber criminals and their activities through analyzing Web data and social networks evolved from communication networks, like emails, blogs, microblogs, social networking sites, and instant messengers. Web surveillance involves various aspects of analyzing different metrics, features and processes in Web and social network data which include Web content mining, Web usage mining, community detection, link prediction, position/role analysis, information diffusion, and sentiment analysis.
Security Informatics (SI), a combination of Web analytics and Cyber security techniques, has been recognized as a new direction for scientific research and development that explores the fundamental roles as well as practical impacts of advanced Information Technology (IT) and Computational Intelligence (CI) including AI and Soft Computing techniques on the next generation of Web-empowered products, systems, services, and activities. Due to the fast growing interest and research results, SI has become one of the most promising IT research field for the development of systems and applications for the protection of local/national/international security in the physical world or cyberspace.
