in conjuntion with the 18th European Conference on Machine Learning (ECML) and the 11th European Conference on Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (PKDD). The goal of this workshop is to promote an interdisciplinary forum for researchers who deal with sequential learning, anytime learning, real-time learning, online learning, etc. from ubiquitous and distributed data streams. Distributed Learning from Data Streams is a recent and increasing research area with challenging applications and contributions from fields like Data Bases, Data Mining, Machine Learning, and Visualization. This workshop is a joint event with the tutorial in State-of-the-art in Data Stream Mining, and will be supported by the European Project KDUbiq-WG3. Invited Talk: Philippe Bonnet Sensor Network-based Scientific Data Acquisition: Lessons Learned and Challenges Ahead

Motivation and Goals Advances in miniaturization and sensor technology lead to sensor networks, collecting detailed spatio-temporal data about the environment. How to learn from these distributed continuous streaming data? Which are the main characteristics of a learning algorithm acting in sensor networks? What are the relevant issues, challenges, and research opportunities? Which emerging applications? The goal of this workshop is to convene researchers (from both academia and industry) who deal with decision rules, decision trees, association rules, clustering, filtering, preprocessing, post processing, feature selection, visualization techniques, etc. from distributed data streams and related themes. Special emphasis in constrained algorithms designed to handle limited bandwidth, limited computing and storage capabilities, limited battery power, and specific network- -communication protocols. Selected papers will be published by a major International Journal (IDA).
