Preface
The Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD) has been held every year since 1997. This year, the 11th in the series (PAKDD 2007), was held at Nanjing, China, May 22–25, 2007. PAKDD is a leading international conference in the area of data mining. It provides an international forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share their new ideas, original research results and practical development experiences from all KDD-related areas including data mining, machine learning, databases, statistics, data warehousing, data visualization, automatic scientific discovery, knowledge acquisition and knowledge-based systems. This year we received a record number of submissions. We received 730 research papers from 29 countries and regions in Asia, Australia, North America, South America, Europe and Africa. The submitted papers went through a rigorous reviewing process. Every submission except very few was reviewed by three reviewers. Moreover, for the first time, PAKDD 2007 introduced a procedure of having an area chai
