Preface
Revised versions of selected papers presented at the Joint Conference of the German
Classification Society (GfKl) – 35th Annual Conference – GfKl 2011 – , the
German Association for Pattern Recognition (DAGM) – 33rd annual symposium –
DAGM 2011 – and the Symposium of the International Federation of Classification
Societies (IFCS) – IFCS 2011 – held at the University of Frankfurt (Frankfurt am
Main, Germany) August 30 – September 2, 2011, are contained in this volume of
“Studies in Classification, Data Analysis, and Knowledge Organization”.
One aim of the conference was to provide a platform for discussions on results
concerning the interface that data analysis has in common with other areas such
as, e.g., computer science, operations research, and statistics from a scientific
perspective, as well as with various application areas when “best” interpretations
of data that describe underlying problem situations need knowledge from different
research directions.
Practitioners and researchers – interested in data analysis in the broad sense – had
the opportunity to discuss recent developments and to establish cross-disciplinary
cooperation in their fields of interest. More than 420 persons attended the conference, more than 180 papers (including plenary and semiplenary lectures) were
presented. The audience of the conference was very international.
Fifty-five of the papers presented at the conference are contained in this. As an
unambiguous assignment of topics addressed in single papers is sometimes difficult
the contributions are grouped in a way that the editors found appropriate. Within
(sub)chapters the presentations are listed in alphabetical order with respect to the
authors’ names. At the end of this volume an index is included that, additionally,
should help the interested reader.
The editors like to thank the members of the scientific program committee:
D. Baier, H.-H. Bock, R. Decker, A. Ferligoj, W. Gaul, Ch. Hennig, I. Herzog,
E. H¨ llermeier, K. Jajuga, H. Kestler, A. Koch, S. Krolak-Schwerdt, H. Locareku

Last but not least, we would like to thank all participants of the conference
for their interest and various activities which, again, made the 35th annual GfKl
conference and this volume an interdisciplinary possibility for scientific discussion,
in particular all authors and all colleagues who reviewed papers, chaired sessions
or were otherwise involved. Additionally, we gratefully take the opportunity to
acknowledge support by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) of the Symposium of the International Federation of Classification Societies (IFCS) – IFCS 2011.
As always we thank Springer Verlag, Heidelberg, especially Dr. Martina Bihn,
for excellent cooperation in publishing this volume.
