Asdataminingtechniquesandtoolsmature,theirapplicationdomainsextendto previousuncharteredterritories.The commontheme ofthe workshopsorganized along with the main 2008 Paci?c Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD) in Osaka, Japan was to extend the application of data mining techniques to new frontiers. Thus the title of the proceedings: “New Frontiers in Application of Data Mining.” For the 2008 program, three workshops were organized. 1. Algorithms for Large-Scale Information Processing (ALSIP). The focus of the workshop was novel algorithms and data structures to deal with p- cessing of very large data sets. 2. Data Mining for Decision Making and Risk Management (DMDRM), which emphasized applications of risk information derived from data mining te- niques on diverse applications ranging from medicine to marketing to chemistry. 3. Interactive Data Mining (IDM), which emphasized the relationship between techniques in data mining and human–computer interaction. In total 38 papers were submitted to the workshops. After consultation with theworkshopChairswhowereaskedto ranktheir submissions,18wereaccepted for publicationin this volume.We hope that the published papers propelfurther interest in the growing ?eld of knowledge discovery in databases (KDD). The paper selection of the industrial track and the workshops was made by the Program Committee of each organization. Upon the paper selection, the book was edited and managed by the volume editors.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Reversible Computation, RC 2014, held in Kyoto, Japan, in July 2014. The 14 contributions presented together with three invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on automata for reversible computation; notation and languages for reversible computation; synthesis and optimization for reversible circuits; validation and representation of quantum logic.

Reversible Computation

Symbolic Boolean manipulation using binary decision diagrams (BDDs) has been successfully applied to a wide variety of tasks, particularly in very large scale integration (VLSI) computer-aided design (CAD). The concept of decision graphs as an abstract representation of Boolean functions dates back to the early work by Lee and Akers. In the last ten years, BDDs have found widespread use as a concrete data structure for symbolic Boolean manipulation. With BDDs, functions can be constructed, manipulated, and compared by simple and efficient graph algorithms. Since Boolean functions can represent not just digital circuit functions, but also such mathematical domains as sets and relations, a wide variety of CAD problems can be solved using BDDs. `Binary Decision Diagrams and Applications for VLSI CAD provides valuable information for both those who are new to BDDs as well as to long time aficionados.' -from the Foreword by Randal E. Bryant. `Over the past ten years ... BDDs have attracted the attention of many researchers because of their suitability for representing Boolean functions. They are now widely used in many practical VLSI CAD systems. ... this book can serve as an introduction to BDD techniques and ... it presents several new ideas on BDDs and their applications. ... many computer scientists and engineers will be interested in this book since Boolean function manipulation is a fundamental technique not only in digital system design but also in exploring various problems in computer science.' - from the Preface by Shin-ichi Minato.
