This workshop will be organised by the nascent e-Science Data Mining Special Interest Group (esdm-sig) and by SC4DEVO, one of the four international "sister project" initiatives currently funded by the e-Science Core Programme through EPSRC. The esdm-sig aims to provide a forum for discussing e-Science data mining issues, and to foster research towards their solution, by bringing together the application scientists who will use data mining in their research, the computer science researchers developing data mining algorithms and the software engineers creating the computational infrastructure within which they will be run. SC4DEVO has similar aims, but with a particular focus on astronomy; note, however, that this workshop will cover all e-Science application areas.
