Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery 6th International Conference, DaWaK 2004, Zaragoza, Spain, September 1-3, 2004, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery, DaWaK 2004, held in Zaragoza, Spain, in September 2004.
The 40 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from over 100 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on data warehouse design; knowledge discovery framework and XML data mining, data cubes and queries; multidimensional schema and data aggregation; inductive databases and temporal rules; industrial applications; data clustering; data visualization and exploration; data classification, extraction, and interpretation; data semantics, association rule mining; event sequence mining; and pattern mining.
