The workshop NMRPC2 will be held in Reykjavík, Iceland 1-3 June 2015.

The NMRPC2 is organized under the framework the ENGINE project, thus the authors of the best 15 papers will not pay conference fee. Exemption from the payment does not apply to travel and accommodation costs.

ENGINE has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no 316097.

The progress of computer science has caused that many institutions collected huge amount of data, which analysis is impossible by human beings. Nowadays simple methods of data analysis are not sufficient for efficient management of an average enterprise, since for smart decisions the knowledge hidden in data is highly required. The great disadvantage of the aforementioned methods is that they “assume” that statistical properties of the discovered concept (which model is predicted) are being unchanged. In a real situation we could observe the so-called concept drift, therefore designing data mining methods, especially classification ones for data streams is currently the focus of intense research. On the other ha nd, we can usually use a number of classifiers for each of pattern recognition tasks which differ each other. Therefore developing combined classifiers has been mentioned as ones of the most promising trends in the pattern recognition which can exploit unique elementary classifier strengths and could adapt to the changes of classification models.

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts of up to 10 (A4) pages reporting unpublished, mature, and original research and recent developments/theoretical considerations on data stream classification and classifier ensemble by December 15, 2013. Accepted papers will be printed in the conference proceedings published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series. Submitted papers must be camera-ready and formatted according to the rules of Procedia Computer Science. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.

Please submit your paper via the conference website and select the workshop “Workshop on Nonstationary Models of Pattern Recognition and Classifier Combinations”.
