Proceedings of the 2nd Australasian Data Mining Workshop ADM03, 8th December 2003, Canberra, Australia

The Australasian Data Mining Workshop is a flagship event in the area of discovering meaningful insights in large data sets. The art and science of analytics and data mining have always attracted researchers and industry practitioners in the region. The first edition of the Australasian Data Mining Workshop was a successful event, conducted in conjunction with the 15th Australian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2nd - 6th December 2002, Canberra, Australia. The workshop attracted a number of participants from Australian industry, academia, research institutions and centers, in particular, researchers from the ANU Data Mining Group, CSIRO Enterprise Data Mining, and UTS Smart e-Business Systems Lab. The workshop facilitated the links between different research groups in Australia and industry, evidenced by the initiative in the creation of an Australian Research Council Research Network on Improving Australia's Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Research, and the Institute of Analytic Professionals of Australia. This year the workshop builds on these trends. The workshop follows a rigid blind peer-review process and ranking-based paper selection process. All papers were extensively reviewed by two to three referees drawn from the program committee.
