The 7th Paci?c Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD) was held from April 30 to May 2, 2003 in the Convention and Ex- bition Center (COEX), Seoul, Korea. The PAKDD conference is a major forum for academic researchers and industry practitioners in the Paci?c Asia region to share original research results and development experiences from di?erent KDD-related areas such as data mining, data warehousing, machine learning, databases, statistics, knowledge acquisition and discovery, data visualization, and knowledge-based systems. The conference was organized by the Advanced Information Technology Research Center (AITrc) at KAIST and the Statistical Research Center for Complex Systems (SRCCS) at Seoul National University. It was sponsored by the Korean Datamining Society (KDMS), the Korea Inf- mation Science Society (KISS), the United States Air Force O?ce of Scienti?c Research, the Asian O?ce of Aerospace Research & Development, and KAIST. It was held with cooperation from ACM’s Special Group on Knowledge Dis- very and Data Mining (SIGKDD).

The 9th International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Appli- tions (DASFAA 2004) was held during March 17-19, 2004 on the beautiful Jeju island of Korea. The DASFAA conference provides an international forum for technical discussions among researchers, developers, and users of database - stems from academia, business, and industry. The main focus of DASFAA is on research in database theory, development of advanced DBMS technologies, and their advanced applications. A premier database conference in the Asia/Paci?c region, DASFAA has been held every two years, and in many countries in the - gion. To promote the area further and to answer the needs of many participants, the steering committee decided to hold the conference annually. DASFAA 2004 was the ?rst such annual conference. The conference was organized by the Special Interest Group on Databases (SIGDB) of the Korea Information Science Society and the Advanced Infor- tion Technology Research Center (AITrc) at KAIST - an engineering research center of excellence (ERC) supported by the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF).We had a number of sponsors who made generous cont- butionstomaketheconferencesuccessful.
