Preface
This volume contains revised selected papers from plenary and invited as well ascontributed sessions at the 11th Biennial Conference of the International Federationof Classification Societies (IFCS) in combination with the 33rd Annual Conferenceof the German Classification Society – Gesellschaft für Klassifikation (GfKl), orga-nized by the Faculty of Business Management and Economics at the TechnischeUniversität Dresden in March 2009. The theme of the conference was “Classifi-cation as a Tool for Research.” The conference encompassed 290 presentations in100 sessions, including 11 plenary talks and 2 workshops. Moreover, five tutorialstook place before the conference. With 357 attendees from 58 countries, the confer-ence provided a very attractive interdisciplinary international forum for discussionand mutual exchange of knowledge.
The chapters in this volume were selected in a second reviewing process after theconference. From the remaining 120 submitted papers, 90 papers were accepted forthis volume. In addition to the fundamental methodological areas of Classificationand Data Analysis, the volume contains many chapters from a wide range of top-ics representing typical applications of classification and data analysis methods inArchaeology and Spatial Science, Bio-Sciences, Electronic Data and Web, Financeand Banking, Linguistics, Marketing, Music Science, and Quality Assurance andEngineering.
The editors would like to thank the session organizers for supporting the spreadof information about the conference, and for inviting speakers, all reviewers fortheir timely reports, and Irene Barrios-Kezic and Martina Bihn of Springer-Verlag,Heidelberg, for their support and dedication to the production of this volume.
Moreover, IFCS and GfKl want to thank the Local Organizing Committee,Werner Esswein, Andreas Hilbert, and Hermann Locarek-Junge for this very well-organized conference. We also thank all our supporters – special thanks to ThorstenKlug, Sven Loßagk, Karoline Schönbrunn, Jens Weller, and the student staff at theconference!
