Bio-inspired Data Processing --- BDP 2012

Special session title: BDP 2012, Bio-inspired Data Processing
Rationale of the need and objective of the session:
Processing large datasets generated by research and industry represents one of the most important challenges in data mining. The growing volumes of data represent an opportunity for the application of data processing and data mining methods. Although advanced data analysis is the main goal of data mining, even general processing of large volumes of high-dimensional data be extremely time consuming and in conclusion unusable for practical applications.
Bio-inspired computation provides a set of powerful methods and techniques based on the principles of biological, natural systems. This class of methods and techniques containing evolutionary algorithms, ant colonies, neural networks, and swarm intelligence, and emerging technologies complements traditional techniques of data processing and data mining. It can be applied in places where the traditional methods and approaches have encountered difficulties. Bio-inspired methods have been successfully used for the analysis of various types of data ranging from stream data, huge structured and unstructured data sets, texts, hyper-texts, to different flavours of networks.
The special session seeks contributions about foundations of bio-inspired data processing for as well as case studies, empirical, and other methodological works related to models, tools, and environments for bio-inspired data processing and data mining. It will provide an opportunity to disseminate latest results in this growing field.  The main topics cover the design and use of various models, algorithms, tools, libraries, and environments for the design and implementation of bio-inspired approaches to data-intensive applications.
