Abstract
In this talk we present data analysis methods for reconstructing the mass and couplings of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) by using directly future experimental data (i.e., measured recoil energies) from direct Dark Matter detection. These methods are independent of the model of Galactic halo as well as of WIMPs. The basic ideas of these methods and the feasibility and uncertainties of applying them to direct detection experiments with the next generation detectors will be discussed.
