Multidimensional data are inherent in many applications such as e-commerce, telecommunication, retail, financial markets, scientific data, bioinformatics data. Mining multidimensional data plays a critical role in both theoretical data mining research and data mining development.

The First International Workshop on Multidimensional Data Mining (MMD'08) will be an interactive forum to reflect the latest advances and understand the new challenges and opportunities in mining multidimensional data. The workshop will focus on the following three aspects :

• Mining multidimensional data
• Mining aggregated data
• Managing hierarchies

This workshop will bring together researchers from universities, research labs and industry who are involved in different research areas dealing with data mining in multidimensional framework.

We seek original submissions on research contributions or experiment reports in a multidimensional framework. The main topics include but are not limited to:

• Data models, techniques and methodologies for multidimensional data mining
• Mining unstructured and structured data
• Mining spatial, temporal and multimedia data
• Data mining techniques for multidimensional data: clustering, classification, association rules, etc.
• Mining exceptional patterns and outliers in multidimensional data
• Mining multidimensional (multiple) data streams
• Mining multiple time series
• Trend analysis
• Maintaining, storing, and re-using the extracted multidimensional knowledge
• Parallel and distributed multidimensional data mining
• Data mining applications : fraud deltection, financial or scientific applications, web usage mining, bioinformatics, marketing, etc.

We encourage submissions of work representing early stages of cutting-edge research and exploring new kinds of applications. We are considering to edit a special issue in an academic journal containing some selected papers from the workshop.
