Abstract: The Warehousing and Mining Complex Data workshop (WMCD 2011) aims at becoming a premium international exchange forum about processing complex data in business intelligence processes. Now that decision-support technologies such as data warehousing, on-line analysis (OLAP) or data mining have proven to be valuable on "simple" data, the issue of complex data must be addressed. Managing complex data involves a lot of different issues regarding their structure, storage and processing. Topics: WMCD 2011 invites original submissions, from both researchers and practitioners, on all topics related to warehousing and mining complex data. They include, but are not limited to, the following.

* Complex data integration
* ETL
* Complex data warehouse foundations, design and architectures
* XML data warehousing
* Complex data warehouse consistency and quality
* Multidimensional modeling of complex data
* Schema evolution, versioning
* Personalization and recommendation
* Maintenance and administration of complex data
* Performance, optimization and tuning
* Data warehouse benchmarks
* Security in data warehouses
* OLAP on complex data
* XML OLAP
* Complex data mining
* XML mining
* Mining data streams
* Combining OLAP and data mining for complex data analysis
* Combining OLAP and information Retrieval
* Semantic analysis of complex data

Important dates:
* Submission date: January 3, 2011
* Notification of acceptance: February 18, 2011
* Camera Ready submission: February 25, 2011
* Workshop date: March 25, 2011
