"This volume contains both methodological papers showing new original methods, and papers on applications illustrating how new domain-specific knowledge can be made available from data by clever use of data analysis methods. The volume is subdivided in three parts: Classification and Data Analysis; Data Mining; and Applications. The selection of peer reviewed papers had been presented at a meeting of classification societies held in Florence, Italy, in the area of "Classification and Data Mining"."--Back cover.
