SCOPE: Computing with words and perceptions (CWP) gives a new methodology for development of knowledge based decision making systems. In many problem areas such as economics, finance, meteorology, geophysics, Internet etc human decision making is based on expert knowledge given by perceptions defined on data bases domains. For supporting perception based decision making procedures in problems related with analysis of data bases it is necessary to develop the methods of perception based data mining (PDM) and specifically perception based time series data mining when perceptions are defined on time series data bases domains. These methods can integrate the models and methods proposed in CWP, fuzzy expert systems, fuzzy data mining, computational linguistics, data mining and time series analysis.

The goal of the special session is to discuss theoretical results and experience in development of perception based decision making systems defined on data bases domains and to determine unsolved problems and perspective directions of research in this area.

The contributions considering the following and related topics are welcomed:

-         perception based knowledge and data bases;

-         perception based decision making in data bases;

-         precisiation of perceptions;

-         aggregation and propagation of perception based constraints;

-         grammars for generation of perceptions and queries;

-         ontology of perceptions;

-         linguistic association rules;

-         association rules with perception based frequencies, support and confidence measures;

-         perception based constraints and rules with temporal and spatial relations;

-         perception based correlation rules and local trend associations;

-         relationships between association rules and inference rules;

-         PDM in supplementation of expert knowledgebase;

-         linguistic summarization;

-         linguistic retranslation;

-         perception based forecasting.

The papers accepted for the session will be published in the conference proceedings. The authors of selected papers will be invited to prepare extended versions of their papers for publishing in a special issue of prestigious international journal and in edited volume published by Springer.
