BI 2010 - The International Workshop on Behavior Informatics (BI2010)

The International Workshop on Behavior Informatics (BI2010)

http://bi2010.behaviorinformatics.org/

Held in conjunction with
The 14th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
(PAKDD2010)
http://www.iiit.ac.in/pakdd2010/

Important dates:
* Electronic submission of full papers: February 20, 2010
* Notification of paper acceptance: March 20, 2010
* Camera-ready copies of accepted papers: March 30, 2010
* BI2010 workshop date: June 20, 2010

Objective: BI2010 provides a premier forum for sharing research and
engineering results,

as well as potential challenges and prospects encountered in
Behavior Informatics, namely towards

deep and quantitative representation, modeling, analysis, mining,
presentation, management and applications

of behavioral data, composed of behaviors, behavior subjects and
objects, behavior networks, organizational

behavior, social behavior, system behavior, group behavior,
behavior evolution, causes and effects, and/or behavior impacts.

Scope: The BI2010 workshop welcomes theoretical work and applied
disseminations aiming to:
* Behavior modeling and representation: formalizing behaviors,
relationships, impact and networks.
* Behavior analysis and mining: behaviors associated with high
impacts are of particular importance,

while impact-oriented behaviors are often sparse, rare and
imbalanced isolated in business and data;

analyse impact-oriented behavior patterns involves different
pattern types and computational challenges.
* Analysis of behavior social networks: handling challenging issues
such as convergence and divergence of behaviors,

and the evolution and emergence of hidden groups and communities.
* Extracting discriminative behavior patterns from high-dimensional,
high-frequency,

high-density, and huge amount of data.
* Large intra-class variance between behaviors: Due to the highly
overlapped nature of behavior data,

it is extremely difficult to build a robust behavior model which is
tolerant for one behavior category

while differentiate amongst other categories.
* Behavior data processing from transactional space to behavior
feature space.
