Five high-quality workshops were held at the 13th Paci?c-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD 2009) in Bangkok, Thailand during April 27-30, 2009. There were 17, 6, 9, 4 and 5 accepted papers to be presented at the Paci?c Asia Workshop on Intelligence and Security Informatics (PAISI 2009), the workshop on Advances and Issues in Biomedical Data Mining (AIBDM 2009), the workshop on Data Mining with Imbalanced Classes and Error Cost (ICEC 2009),the workshopon Open Source in Data Mining (OSDM 2009), and the workshop on Quality Issues, Measures of Interestingness and Evaluation of Data Mining Models (QIMIE 2009). One competition, PAKDD 2009 Data Mining Competition, and one local workshop, Thai Track Session, were arranged. From these workshops (except PAISI which published its works in separate LNCS proceedings), we selected two or three best papers for this LNCS publication. PAKDD is a major international conference in the areas of data mining (DM) and knowledge discovery in database (KDD).
It provides an internationalforum for researchersand industry practitioners to share their new ideas, original research results and practical development experiences from all KDD-related areas including data mining, data warehousing, machine learning, databases, statistics, knowledge acquisition and automatic scienti?c discovery, data visualization, causal induction and knowledge-based systems. In general,we wish to thank our General WorkshopCo-chairs,Manabu O- mura and Bernhard Pfahringe, for selecting and coordinating the great wo- shops.
