In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in the database community in mining time series data. Surprisingly, little work has been done on verifying which measures are most suitable for mining of a given class of data sets. Such work is of crucial importance, since it enables us to identify similarity measures which are useful in a given context and therefore for which efficient algorithms should be further investigated. Moreover, an accurate evaluation of the performance of even existing algorithms is not possible without a good understanding of the data sets occurring in practice.
