Abstract (EN): The most challenging applications of knowledge discovery involve dynamic environments where data continuous flow at high-speed and exhibit non-stationary properties. In this chapter we discuss the main challenges and issues when learning from data streams. In this work, we discuss the most relevant issues in knowledge discovery from data streams: incremental learning, cost-performance management, change detection, and novelty detection. We present illustrative algorithms for these learning tasks, and a real-world application illustrating the advantages of stream processing. The chapter ends with some open issues that emerge from this new research area.
