In the last decade, agents and data mining have emerged as two of most dynamic areas in information technology field. The nature and complementarity of both areas foreshadows an emergent trend that is the increasing interaction between agents and data mining. As a result, both sides are greatly enhanced in terms of solving existing individual challenges and innovating new research and development opportunities. This interaction will greatly strengthen the progress of each side, and trigger new R&D challenges and prospects towards the advancement of next-generation intelligent technologies and systems as well as the enrichment of integrated intelligence and other emergent aspects.

In order to promote this emerging and promising area, we have initiated two international workshops: International Workshop on Autonomous Intelligent Systems: Agents and Data Mining (AIS-ADM2005, Proceedings by Springer Press, http://space.iias.spb.su/ais05), and IEEE/ACM/WIC International Workshop on Interaction between Agents and Data Mining (IADM2006/ADMI2006, Proceedings by IEEE Computer Society Press, (http://datamining.it.uts.edu.au/iadm.htm). The next event will be AIS-ADM2007 (http://space.iias.spb.su/ais07).

This special issue, as one of the earliest contributions on this critical topic, aims to encourage the interaction between agents and data mining towards mutual enhancement and super-intelligent synergism. It will bring together researchers and industry practitioners from both areas to share the results of R&D and discuss the existing and emerging theoretical and applied problems in the interaction and evolution.
