INTRODUCTION Key risk factors for Polish State Fire Service is organized within the=20 framework of the 9th International Symposium on Advances in Artificial=20 Intelligence and Applications (AAIA'14), and is an integral part of the=20 1st Complex Events and Information Modelling workshop (CEIM'14) devoted=20 to the fire protection engeneering. The task is related to the problem=20 of extracting useful knowledge from incident reports obtained from The=20 State Fire Service of Poland. Prizes worth over 3,000 USD will be=20 awarded to the most successful teams. The contest is sponsored by Dituel=20 Sp. z o.o. and F&K Consulting Engineers, with a support from The=20 University of Warsaw and ICRA project. Incident Data Reporting Systems (IDRS) are used by public safety=20 services across the globe to gather information about the incidents=20 which required their actions. This information is used not only to=20 simply document the events but it can also be incorporated into the=20 training of new officers. Moreover, the knowledge extracted from such=20 reports can help in better identification of threats and in planning of=20 more effective procedures. An example of such a reporting system is EWID=20 which is used by the State Fire Service of Poland. In the proposed=20 competition, we would like to raise the problem of extracting useful=20 knowledge from the reports generated in the EWID system, represented in=20 a form of a data table. In particular, we would like to ask the=20 participants to identify key factors influencing the risk of serious=20 injuries among firefighters and people involved in various incidents.=20 The contest will be hosted on a web platform called Knowledge Pit,=20 designed especially for supporting organization of data mining=20 competitions associated with scientific conferences. A special session devoted to the competition will be held at 1st Complex=20 Events and Information Modelling workshop (CEIM'14) which is a part of=20 9th International Symposium on Advances in Artificial Intelligence and=20 Applications (AAIA'14). We will invite authors of selected reports to=20 extend them for publication in the conference proceedings (after reviews=20 by Organizing Committee members) and presentation at the conference. The=20 invited teams will be chosen based on their final rank, innovativeness=20 of their approach and quality of the submitted report. AWARDS Authors of the top ranked solutions will be awarded with valuable prizes: - First Prize: computer hardware worth 2,000USD + one free FedCSIS'14=20 registration, - Second Prize: computer hardware worth 1,000USD + one free FedCSIS'14=20 registration, - Third Prize: one free FedCSIS'14 conference registration. The award ceremony will take place during the FedCSIS'14 conference=20 (September 7-10, Warsaw). Additionally, authors of all papers accepted=20 for presentation at the CEIM'14 workshop, who decide to attend the=20 conference will receive a diploma and a competition T-shirt. IMPORTANT DATES - Feb. 3, 2014: start of the competition, data sets become available, - May 5, 2014: deadline for submitting the predictions, - May 7, 2014: deadline for sending the reports, end of the challenge, - May 9, 2014: on-line publication of final results, sending invitations=20 for submitting short papers for the special session, - June 2, 2014: deadline for submissions of papers describing the=20 selected solutions, - June 16, 2014: deadline for submissions of camera-ready papers=20 selected for presentation at the CEIM'14 workshop.
