Preface
Since early 1990, multi-agent systems (MAS), data mining, and knowledge dis-
covery (KDD) have remained areas of high interest in the research and de-
velopment of intelligent information technologies. Indeed, MAS offers powerful
metaphorsfor informationsystemconceptualization,a rangeofnew techniques,
andtechnologiesspecificallyfocused onthe designandimplementationof large-
scale open distributed intelligent systems. KDD also provides intelligent infor-
mation technology with powerful ideas, algorithms, and software means to help
cope with the main problem of artificial intelligence, formulated in the well-
knownquestion“Wheredoes the knowledgecome from?”,thus actually making
modern applications intelligent and adaptive.
The evident recent trend in both science and industry is to integrate and
take advantage of both technologies. The existing experience with combined
application of multi-agent technology to design architectures of distributed (hi-
erarchical and peer-to-peer) data mining and KDD systems, as well as the uti-
lizationofdata mining andKDD achievementsto provideenhancedintelligence
of MAS, confirms the fact that both technologies are capable of mutual enrich-
mentandtheirintegratedusemayresultinintelligentinformationsystemswith
new emergent properties. The 1st International Workshop “Autonomous Intel-
ligent Systems: Agents and Data Mining” (AIS-ADM 2005,June 6–8, 2005, St.
Petersburg, Russia) was a response to the aforementioned trend. It confirmed
the interest of academic and industry communities in advancing the efforts to
integrate achievements in MAS and KDD, thus resulting in a new dimension
and further progress in intelligent information technology.
Thisvolumecontainsthepaperspresentedatthe2ndInternationalWorkshop
“Autonomous Intelligent Systems: Agents and Data Mining” (AIS-ADM 2007,
June3–5,2007,St.Petersburg,Russia).Likethefirstworkshop,itwasorganized
by the St. Petersburg Institute for Informatics and Automation of the Russian
AcademyofSciences(SPIIRAS)incooperationwiththeSt.PetersburgScientific
CenteroftheRussianAcademyofSciencesandBinghamtonUniversity(SUNY,
USA).
The workshop objective was to discuss current state of the art in this in-
tegrated area of research, new problems, challenges, future trends, as well as
the mutual impact and contribution of both technologies, KDD and MAS, in
the cross-boundary integrated research area. Workshop organizers have also re-
alized the importance of gathering together not only specialists working in the
above-mentionedcross-boundary,butalsospecialistsworkingineitherdatamin-
ing or in MAS in order to contribute to the creation of a productive research
community.
AIS-ADM 2007 provided an international forum of multi-agent and data
mining researchers. A total of 39 papers from 18 countries related to various
VI Preface
aspects of both theory and applications of MAS, data mining, and their cross-
boundaryareaweresubmitted to AIS-ADM 2007.Outofthese 17wereselected
for regular presentations and 6 papers were selected for short presentations.
Three technical sessions were organized, namely: 1. Agent and Data Mining; 2.
Agent Competition and Data Mining, and 3. Text Mining, Semantic Web, and
Agents.TheAIS-ADM2007programwasenrichedbyfourdistinguishedinvited
speakers:HillolKargupta,VladimirKhoroshevsky,SandipSen,andNingZhong.
The success of the workshop was assured by team efforts from the sponsors,
organizers, reviewers, and participants. We would like to acknowledge the con-
tribution of the individual Program Committee members and thank the paper
reviewers. Our sincere gratitude goes to the participants and all authors of the
submitted papers.
We aregratefulto oursponsors:The EuropeanOffice ofAerospaceResearch
andDevelopment(EOARD) of the USAir Force,USA Office of NavalResearch
Global (ONRGlobal), US Army International Technology Center-Atlantic Re-
search Division, and the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) for
their generous support.
We wish to express our gratitude to the Springer team managed by Alfred
Hofmann for their help and cooperation.
