The year 2016 marks the 12th aniversary of the International Conference on Advanced Data Mining and Applications (ADMA 2016), which will be held in Gold Coast, Australia, 12-15 Dec 2016. It is our great pleasure to invite you to contribute papers, register and participate in this premier annual event on research and applications of data mining.

A growing attention has been paid to the study, development and application of data mining. As a result, there is an urgent need for sophisticated techniques and tools that can handle new subfields of data mining, e.g., smartphone and social network data mining, spatial data mining in the context of spatial-temporal characteristics, streaming data mining, green computing data mining, biomedical data mining, and the Internet of Things. Our expertise in data mining also has to be expanded to new applications. In 2016, the 12th anniversary of the premiere International Conference series on Advanced Data Mining and Applications aims at bringing together the experts on data mining from all over the world, and provides a leading international forum for the dissemination of original research results in data mining, spanning applications, algorithms, software and systems, and different applied disciplines with potentials in data mining.
