*********** Special Issue on Data Mining in Pervasive Environments ******

Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal (PMC)  

Website:

We solicit high quality and original unpublished papers from researchers 
working on data mining in pervasive environments to highlight current 
challenges, and to showcase the latest results. The results will 
demonstrate how current data mining, mobile sensing and knowledge 
discovery methods can be extended to mining solutions for dealing with 
challenging real world problems. The unique nature of sensor data in 
pervasive environments demands for novel data mining, mobile sensing and 
knowledge discovery methods that can handle large, multi-modal, 
heterogeneous and distributed streams of data. We hope that the results 
of this special issue not only can be beneficial for the pervasive 
computing community, but the resulting algorithms and solutions will 
also be adapted by researchers in various other application fields.

*******************************************************

The major topics of the special issue include, but not limited to:

1. Unsupervised methods for discovering interesting patterns such as 
human activity and behavior based on:

-Novel data mining methods

-Relational and graph mining methods

-Real time analysis of dynamic sensor data

-Models for sensor fusion

-Multimodal context recognition

2. Supervised machine learning methods for analyzing data in pervasive 
environments

-Generative and Discriminative models

-Relational models

-Graphical models

3. Mobile sensing

- Mobile data collection models

- Mining large scale sensor data

- Sensing and machine learning techniques

- Participatory, opportunistic and collaborative sensing

- Activity recognition and personal health monitoring using mobile phones

4. Case studies based on success stories of data mining techniques for 
real-world pervasive computing applications

-Low level sensor data(accelerometers, GPS, RFID, Motion sensors, etc), 
Physiological sensors, smart phone based sensing, video and audio, other 
mediums

-Data fusion and uncertainty reasoning for situation awareness

-Novel proposals on architecture and middleware design for smart 
environments services

-Services and applications in pervasive healthcare, green building 
energy management and intelligent transportation, etc.

-Test-beds and real world deployments

Submission process:

All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors 
as published in the Journal website at www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. 
Authors should select SI: Data Mining, from the "Choose Article Type" 
pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not 
have been previously published or be under consideration for publication 
elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared 
elsewhere has to comprise major value-added extensions over what 
appeared previously (at least 30% new material). Authors are requested 
to attach to the submitted paper their relevant, previously published 
articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the 
journal version.

*******************************************************

Important Dates:

Paper submission deadline: September 15, 2013

First Notification: December 15, 2013

Final Notification: February 15, 2014
