The purpose of this multi-disciplinary workshop is to bring together industry experts and researchers from data mining, machine learning, text analysis and signal processing who share an interest in problems and applications of system service and maintenance. We believe that this is an important application domain for KDD, and will continue to organize this workshop in future KDD conferences if there is enough interest. The goal will be to formulate the relevant research questions and bridge the gap between data mining research and industry needs in this important field.

We believe that this is an important application domain for KDD, and will continue to organize this workshop in future KDD conferences if there is enough interest. The goal will be to formulate the relevant research questions and bridge the gap between data mining research and industry needs in this important field.
We plan to provide a platform for exchange of ideas, identification of important and challenging applications, and discovery of possible synergies. The difference between service and maintenance will be highlighted in multiple industries. It is our hope that this will spur vigorous discussions and encourage collaboration between the various disciplines, potentially resulting in collaborative projects. We will particularly emphasize the mathematical and engineering aspects of service data analysis.

We will try to address many of these topics through both invited and contributed talks. The workshop program will consist of presentations by invited speakers of both industry and academia, and by authors of extended abstracts submitted to the workshop. In addition, there will be a slot for a panel discussion to identify important problems, applications, and synergies between the two disciplines.
