 * * AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE * *

We are experiencing a revolution in the capacity to quickly collect
and transport large amounts of data. Not only has this revolution
changed the means by which we store and access this data, but has also
caused a fundamental transformation in the methods and algorithms that
we use to extract knowledge from data. In scientific fields as diverse
as climatology, medical science, astrophysics, particle physics,
computer vision, and computational finance, massive streaming data
sets have sparked innovation in methodologies for knowledge discovery
in data streams. Cutting-edge methodology for streaming data has come
from a number of diverse directions, from on-line learning, randomized
linear algebra and approximate methods, to distributed optimization
methodology for cloud computing, to multi-class classification
problems in the presence of noisy and spurious data.

This conference will bring together researchers from applied
mathematics and several diverse scientific fields to discuss the
current state of the art and open research questions in streaming data
and real-time machine learning. The conference will be domain driven,
with talks focusing on well-defined areas of application and
describing the techniques and algorithms necessary to address the
current and future challenges in the field.

Sessions will be accessible to a broad audience and will have a single
track format with additional rooms for breakout sessions and posters.
There will be no formal conference proceedings, but conference
applicants are encouraged to submit an abstract and present a talk
and/or poster.
