The Australasian Data Mining Conference: AusDM 2009

Melbourne, 1-4 December 2009

Co-Hosted with the 22nd Australian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence and the Fourth Australian Conference on Artificial Life (ACAL'09).

The Australasian Data Mining Conference is devoted to the art and science of intelligent data mining: the meaningful analysis of (usually large) data sets to discover relationships and present the data in novel ways that are compact, comprehendible and useful for researchers and practitioners.

This conference will bring together from the Data Mining and Business Analytics community researchers and practitioners to share and learn of research and progress in the local context and new breakthroughs in data mining algorithms and their applications.

The conference proceedings will be published under the Conferences in Research and Practice in Information Technology series for distribution at the conference.
