Like many technical conferences, the Symposium gradually detached from its motivating problem and became associated with vanilla data mining algorithms. In 2010 the Symposium will return to its roots: modeling and analyzing complex, dynamical systems using abstractions and techniques that cut across domains. The program will be interdisciplinary, emphasizing "first look" papers on high-impact work that might elsewhere be considered preliminary. To stimulate interactivity, the meeting will be held on the residential campus of Biosphere 2, near the University of Arizona's campus in Tucson. CALL FOR PAPERS IDA2010 solicits papers on all aspects of intelligent data analysis, particularly papers on intelligent support for modeling and analyzing complex, dynamical systems. IDA2010 particularly encourages papers about: - Novel applications of IDA techniques to complex systems - Novel modes of data acquisition and the associated issues - Robustness and scalability issues of IDA techniques - Visualization and dissemination of results Intelligent support for data analysis goes beyond the usual algorithmic offerings in the data mining literature. Papers about established technology will only be accepted if the technology is embedded in intelligent data analysis systems, or is applied in novel ways to analyzing and/or modeling complex systems. The conventional reviewing process, which favors incremental advances on established work, can discourage the kinds of papers that IDA 2010 hopes to publish. The reviewing process will address this issue explicitly: referees will evaluate papers against the stated goals of the symposium, and any paper for which at least one senior program committee member writes an informed, thoughtful, positive review will be accepted irrespective of other reviews. The proceedings of IDA2010 will again appear in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. For more details on submission and review process, see the conference webpage (www.ida2010.org) or contact the program chairs.
