=================================================================
As many large-scale enterprise information systems start to utilize P2P networks, parallel, grid, cloud and Internet computing, they have become a major source of business information. Techniques and methodologies to extract quality information in distributed systems are of paramount importance for many applications and users in the business community. Data mining and knowledge discovery play key roles in many of today’s prominent business intelligence applications to uncover relevant information of competitors, consumers, markets, and products, so that appropriate marketing and product development strategies can be devised. In addition, formal methods and architectural infrastructures for related issues in distributed systems, such as e-commerce and computer security, are being explored and investigated by many researchers.

As the inaugural workshop, BIDS-2010 aims to bring together scientists, engineers, and practitioners to discuss, exchange ideas, and present their research findings on business intelligence and distributed systems. Topics of interest that BIDS-2010 covers include general business intelligence techniques and methodologies, as well as their application in distributed systems (but are not limited to):

* Business Text, Data, and Media Mining
* Distributed System Architecture and Infrastructure for Business Intelligence
