Intelligent Information Systems (IIS) can be defined as the next generation of Information Systems (IS) developed as a result of integration of AI and database (DB) technologies. IIS embody knowledge that allows them to exhibit intelligent behavior, allows them to cooperate with users and other systems in problem solving, discovery, retrieval, and manipulation of data and knowledge. For any IIS to serve its purpose, the information must be available when it is needed. This means that the computing systems used to store data and process the information, and the security controls used to protect it must be functioning correctly. This book covers some of the above topics and it is divided into four sections: Classification, Approximation and Data Security, Knowledge Management, and Application of IIS to medical and music domains.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed conference proceedings of the First International Workshop on New Frontiers in Mining Complex Patterns, NFMCP 2012, held in conjunction with ECML/PKDD 2012, in Bristol, UK, in September 2012. The 15 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on mining rich (relational) datasets, mining complex patterns from miscellaneous data, mining complex patterns from trajectory and sequence data, and mining complex patterns from graphs and networks.

This book presents the Recommender System for Improving Customer Loyalty. The data mining techniques employed in the Recommender System allow users to "learn" from the experiences of others, without sharing proprietary information.

The book presents a knowledge discovery based approach to build a recommender system supporting a physician in treating tinnitus patients with the highly successful method called Tinnitus Retraining Therapy. It describes experiments on extracting novel knowledge from the historical dataset of patients treated by Dr. P.
