- Data privacy and security
- Data warehousing
- Data mining: foundations and algorithms
- Mining text, Web, and semi-structured data
- Security and privacy in data mining
- Innovative applications of data mining
- Embedded, sensor, mobile databases and applications
- Managing uncertain, imprecise and inconsistent information
- Metadata management
- Multilingual data management
