The classical approach versus Data Mining is mainly oriented to fields like engineering and informatics, leaving in the background the Statistical aspects, in particular those concerning with Multidimensional Data Analysis (MDA) that could be revalued, especially considering the great number of applications: from the scientific field to Finance (forecasting the evolution of interest rate, credit scoring), to Marketing (sales estimates), to fraud detection (for insurance companies, credit cards and telephony), to production process control (for example analysing the defects in semiconductors, or in space-ships). The main aim of this meeting is to give a chance to discuss about MDA contribute to Data Mining. We particularly wait for people who, having to do with real problems, could suggest any new ad hoc methodologies. The workshop follows the "Neural Networks & Statistics" one (Naples, October 28th 1996), whose acts are being pubblishing by Franco Angeli Editore. Both workshops are part of the activities carried out by the PhD students in "Computational Statistics and Applications" within the Departement of Mathematics and Statistics of Naples.
