3 About the Symposium: Prince Megrin Data Mining Centre funds and supports research in Data Mining within Prince Sultan University to research areas within Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Symposium on Data Mining application 2016 provides a unique platform for researchers in industry and academics in Saudi Arabia and Middle East countries to contribute, collaborate and produce the latest research in Data mining applications for regional and global issues. In the absence of any research event allowing students, researchers, practitioners and industry experts to converge in order to discuss, deliberate and work-out possible solutions to regional and local challenges, SDMA 2016 offers the exceptional opportunity to the community. SDMA 2016 addresses the topics of interest related to Data Mining and its applications through both, invited and contributed talks, describing, research ideas, new challenges, mature research and practical results. The program of the symposium includes invited speaker talks, presentations of papers by contributing authors and a forum for graduate students to present their research work. The symposium is hosted every two years. Past symposia were held in 2010, 2012 and 2014 respectively. The first two symposiums featured only invited talks. Page 1 of 41

4 The third event (SDMA2014) featured invited speakers as well as contributions of research posters from graduate students. Total number of submissions for this event were 31 posters out of which 12 were accepted for presentation (38.7% acceptance rate). SDMA 2014 (May 2014) website could be found at: Page 2 of 41

5 About SDMA2016 The 4rth SDMA was held on March 30, 2016 at Prince Sultan University. The preparations for the symposium started six months prior to the scheduled date. Dr. Jarallah Al Ghamdi, Dean CCIS and Dr. Basit Qureshi, Director Prince Megrin Data Mining Centre took the initiative to formally request Prince Sultan University to host the symposium in September To maintain quality, all submitted papers would undergo a blind peer review process with at least two reviews for each paper to determine the originality, novelty and quality of contributions prior to acceptance for publication in symposium proceedings. The symposium invited original research contributions related to five tracks: Page 3 of 41

6 1. Data Mining Applications: Applications of data mining in domains including Parallel and advanced Databases, Social Networks, Web, Bioinformatics, Finance, Healthcare, and Security. 2. Data Mining Foundations and Algorithms: Data Mining and Machine Learning Foundations, algorithms, models, and theory. 3. Text Mining: Semantic Analysis and Mining text in Arabic, semi-structured, spatio-temporal, streaming, graph, web, multimedia data. 4. Frameworks: Data mining frameworks, platforms and systems implementation 5. Visualizations: Data visualization, modelling and recommendation The event was designed to provide academia, industry, government bodies and private sector organizations with a forum to collaborate and further data mining related research.

43 Closing Remarks Compared to previous SDMAs, SDMA2016 was a bigger and a better event with enhanced quality, International audience and a globally accessible SCOPUS indexed research proceedings. The number of participants for technical session was encouraging for a technical event with a narrow audience. The proceedings would be online on May 15, We hope that SDMA2016 would improve PSU s research profile in the Kingdom and that we are proud of Prince Megrin Data Mining Center s leadership and contribution in doing so. We look forward to organize SDMA2018 under the sponsorship and patronage of Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) USA. With kind regards.
