[DMANET] Workshop "Data Mining in Agriculture" (DMA11) deadline extended

Workshop "Data Mining in Agriculture" (DMA'2011)

http://dma-workshop.de/

co-hosted with ICDM'2011, Aug 30th - Sep 3rd, 2011, NYC, USA

The deadline has been extended until June 11th, 2011!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Data mining, the art and science of intelligent analysis of (usually
large) data sets for meaningful (and previously unknown) insights, is
nowadays actively applied in a wide range of disciplines related to
agriculture. Due to the emerging importance of data mining techniques
and methodologies in the area of agriculture, this workshop aims to
bring together practitioners and researchers in this field. It creates
a community of people who are actively using data mining tools and
techniques and apply them to agriculture data.
