EMMDS 2009. European Workshop on Challenges in Modern Massive Data Sets

Technical University of Denmark
July 1–4, 2009

Scope

The 2009 European Workshop on Challenges in Modern Massive Data Sets (EMMDS 2009) will address algorithmic, mathematical, and statistical challenges in modern large-scale data analysis. The goals of EMMDS 2009 are to explore novel techniques for modelling and analyzing massive, high-dimensional, and nonlinearly-structured scientific and internet data sets, and to bring together computer scientists, statisticians, mathematicians, and data analysis practitioners to promote cross-fertilization of ideas. Several areas that will be discussed in detail include:
