<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Dear IVOA,<br>
<br>
</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">please consider submitting contributions to the Knowledge Discovery session at the upcoming IVOA Interop Meeting in Paris, May 12-17.</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><br>
</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Topics we would like to discuss during this years meeting are:<br>
</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><br>
</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">* science platforms and code to the data related developments<br>
</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">* disprove me in saying: "the VO is just prepared for single source science" -> how to make images, spectra, cubes better accessible for data intense experiments<br>
</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">* machine learning examples using VO infrastructure<br>
</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">* novel developments in data-base systems: indexing, caching, probabilistic representations<br>
</span></font></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Kind regards and see you in Paris,</p>
<p>Kai</p>
