Conference held April 2004, Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The Fourth SIAM International Conference on Data Mining continues the tradition of providing an open forum for the presentation and discussion of innovative algorithms as well as novel applications of data mining. This is reflected in the talks by the four keynote speakers who will discuss data usability issues in systems for data mining in science and engineering, issues raised by new technologies that generate biological data, ways to find complex structured patterns in linked data, and advances in Bayesian inference techniques. This proceedings includes 61 research papers; 23 were accepted as poster presentations, 26 were accepted as regular papers, and 12 were accepted as student papers from the conference.

This book begins with the history of TLM, an introduction to the theory using mechanical engineering concepts, and the electromagnetic basics of TLM. The authors then demonstrate the theory for use in acoustic propagation, along with examples of MATLAB code. The remainder of the book explores the application of TLM to problems in mechanics, specifically heat and mass transfer, elastic solids, simple deformation models, hydraulic systems, and computational fluid dynamics. A discussion of state-of-the-art techniques concludes the book, offering a look at the current research undertaken by the authors and other leading experts to overcome the limitations of TLM in applying the method to diverse types of systems.

The semantic Web offers new opportunities for information processes. This book is devoted to the core issue of data integration at the semantic level and demonstrates the applicability of the techniques developed to spatio-temporal representation and reasoning and geographic information systems. Preceded by a motivating introduction and an overview of the state of the art in the field of information integration, fundamental problems of terminological representation, terminological reasoning, and semantic translation are treated in detail. The theoretical results and techniques developed are applied to intelligent conceptual and spatio-temporal queries of heterogeneous geographic information systems.
