Preface
The Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and DataMining (PAKDD) has been held every year since 1997. PAKDD 2008, the 12th in the series, was held at Osaka, Japan during May 20–23, 2008. 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, data warehousing, machine learning, databases, statistics, knowledge acquisition, automatic scientific discovery, data visualization, causal induction, and knowledge-based systems. This year we received a total of 312 research papers from 34 countries and regions in Asia, Australia, North America, South America, Europe, and Africa. Every submitted
