Recent years have seen a steep increase in the availability of data, which is often generated sequentially and by non-stationary processes. Mining such streaming and time-evolving data often requires to consider the ordering and temporal context of instances, which has been the subject of different lines of research: In data stream mining, the focus of analysis is mostly on the recently observed instances, and instances have a limited life cycle due to adaptation and forgetting mechanisms. In time series analysis, on the other hand, the internal structure of data points taken over time is considered. While the focus of this special session is on the problem of data stream mining, its aim is to present novel ideas from both lines of research that stimulate exchange between their communities.

Session organizers: Barbara Hammer, Georg Krempl, Jerzy Stefanowski
