Summary

The volume contains revised versions of selected papers presented during the 29th Annual Conference of the Gesellschaft für Klassifikation (GfKl), the German Classification Society, held at the Otto-von-Guericke-University of Magdeburg, Germany, in March 2005. In addition to papers on the traditional subjects Classification, Clustering, and Data Analysis, there are many papers on a wide range of topics with a strong relation to Computer Science. Examples are Text Mining, Web Mining, Fuzzy Data Analysis, IT Security, Adaptivity and Personalization, and Visualization. Application-oriented topics include Economics, Marketing, Banking and Finance, Medicine, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, and Music Analysis.
