Preface
LWA 2015 is a joint conference of four special interest groups of the German Com-
puter Science Society (GI), addressing research in the areas of knowledge discovery
and machine learning, information retrieval, database systems, and knowledge man-
agement. The German acronym LWA stands for “Lernen, Wissen, Adaption” (Learn-
ing, Knowledge, Adaptation). Following the tradition of the last years, LWA 2015
provides a joint forum for experienced and young researchers, to bring insights to
recent trends, technologies and applications and to promote interaction among the
special interest groups. The following special interest groups participate at LWA
2015:
• KDML (Knowledge Discovery, Data Mining and Machine Learning)
• FGWM (Knowledge Management)
• IR (Information Retrieval)
• FGDB (Database Systems)
The papers have been selected by independent program committees from the respec-
tive domains.
The program consists of several joint sessions which include contributions of inter-
est for all conference participants. In addition, there are parallel sessions for individu-
al workshops focussing on more specific topics. A poster session gives all presenters
the opportunity to discuss their work in a broader context. Recent trends in the corre-
sponding research areas are highlighted by four distinguished keynote speakers:
• Steffen Staab, University of Koblenz-Landau
• Thomas Seidl, RWTH Aachen
• Norbert Ritter, University of Hamburg
• Andreas Henrich, University of Bamberg
The accompanying social programme includes a guided city tour in the city centre of
Trier followed by a conference dinner in the “Bitburger Wirtshaus”.
The organizers would like to thank the workshop chairs and their programme com-
mittees for their excellent work as well as the keynote speakers for their contribution
to the success of LWA 2015. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the generous sup-
port of our sponsors, in particular EMPOLIS, IBM, and SER.
We hope that LWA 2015 will be an inspiring event for all participants with lots of
scientific exchange and discussions.
