This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Industrial and Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems, IEA/AIE 2003, held in Loughborough, UK in June 2003..

At the same time it has expanded from its roots as a German Informatics Society (GI/ITG) conference to an international event. The conference attracted 83 submission from 16 countries across 4 continents. This is re?ected by the composition of the TPC which included over 30 renown scientist from 10 di?erent countries.

Bioinformatics Research and Development.The decisions of the Program Committee were guided by the recommendations of several reviewers for each paper.

The Web presents a key driving force in the rapid growth of electronic c- merceandanewchannelforcontentproviders. WorkshopTheme The ease and speed with which business transactions can be carried out over the Web has been a key driving force in the rapid growth of electronic commerce. Rich web logs provide companies with data about their customers and prospective customers, allowing micro-segmentation and personalized interactions. In addition, customer interactions, including personalized content, e-mail c- paigns, and online feedback provide new channels of communication that were not previously available or were very ine?cient.

From the early days of MAS research, the UK community has been a particularly productive one with numerous key contributions.. This book presents revised full versions of papers contributed to UK Workshops on Multi-Agent Systems, UKMAS, during 1996 and 2000.

Another paper addresses renewability of security measures. They cover a broad area of relevant techniques, including cryptography, system architecture, and cryptanalysis of existing DRM systems. Renewability is another important security technique for DRM systems, and I hope we will see more publications about this in the future. Three accepted papers are about software tamper resistance, an area about which few scienti?c articles have been published before.

The 15 revised papers presented as position statements are followed by transcripts of the discussions between the authors and the audience. Also included is a report on the final panel discussion on future directions in security protocols research and developments..Security Protocols Thus the volume reflects the lively interaction at the workshop.

We aim to present some recent developments in programming language research, both in semantic theory and in implementation, in a series of graduate-level lectures. The school was sponsored by the ESPRIT Working Group 26142 on Applied Semantics(APPSEM),whichoperatedbetweenApril1998andMarch2002.

This is the ?rst SARA for which the proceedings have been published in the LNAI series of Springer-Verlag.

This book is written for researchers, professionals, and students working in the fields of data mining, data analysis, machine learning, knowledge discovery in databases, and anyone who is interested in association rule mining. The authors present the recent progress achieved in mining quantitative association rules, causal rules, exceptional rules, negative association rules, association rules in multi-databases, and association rules in small databases.. Due to the popularity of knowledge discovery and data mining, in practice as well as among academic and corporate R&D professionals, association rule mining is receiving increasing attention.
