Intelligent Data Analysis Systems requires integration of Machine Learning,
Information Retrieval, Data Mining algorithms into specific application
domains. The main issues are to design, develop and implement effective
Intelligent Data Analysis Systems that improve currently existing applications.
Such systems mainly rely upon activity data produced by the system itself and
on a custom designed data analysis process that produces desired knowledge
according with certain constraints set up by a domain expert.</span></div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">

together researchers from diverse disciplines and we want to achieve a balance
of presentations from the more theoretical side (both statistics and computer
science) as well as more application oriented areas that illustrate how these
techniques can be used in practice. The field of software engineering turns out
to be a fertile ground where many software development and maintenance tasks
could be formulated as learning problems and approached in terms of learning
algorithms.</span></div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">
