 Call for Papers
 ***************
 (Papers Due: June 10, 2003)
 
 Invited Speakers

 The 2003 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (IEEE ICDM '03)
 provides a leading international forum for the sharing of original
 research results and practical development experiences among
 researchers and application developers from different data mining
 related areas such as machine learning, automated scientific
 discovery, statistics, pattern recognition, knowledge acquisition,
 soft computing, databases and data warehousing, data visualization,
 and knowledge-based systems.  The conference seeks solutions to
 challenging problems facing the development of data mining systems,
 and shapes future directions of research by promoting high quality,
 novel and daring research findings.  As an important part of the
 conference, the workshops program will focus on new research
 challenges and initiatives, and the tutorial program will cover
 emerging data mining technologies and the state-of-the-art of data
 mining developments.
 
 Topics of Interest
 ==================
 
 Topics related to the design, analysis and implementation of data
 mining theory, systems and applications are of interest.  These
 include, but are not limited to the following areas:
 
   - Foundations of data mining 
   - Data mining and machine learning algorithms and methods in
     traditional areas (such as classification, regression, clustering,
     probabilistic modeling, and association analysis), and in new
     areas
   - Mining text and semi-structured data, and mining temporal, spatial
     and multimedia data
   - Data and knowledge representation for data mining 
   - Complexity, efficiency, and scalability issues in data mining
   - Data pre-processing, data reduction, feature selection and feature
     transformation
   - Post-processing of data mining results
   - Statistics and probability in large-scale data mining
   - Soft computing (including neural networks, fuzzy logic,
     evolutionary computation, and rough sets) and uncertainty
     management for data mining
   - Integration of data warehousing, OLAP and data mining 
   - Human-machine interaction and visualization in data mining, and
     visual data mining
   - High performance and distributed data mining 
   - Pattern recognition and scientific discovery
   - Quality assessment and interestingness metrics of data mining
     results
   - Process-centric data mining and models of data mining process 
   - Security, privacy and social impact of data mining
   - Data mining applications in electronic commerce, bioinformatics,
     computer security, Web intelligence, intelligent learning database
     systems, finance, marketing, healthcare, telecommunications, and
     other fields
 
 Conference Publications and ICDM Best Paper Awards
 ==================================================
 
 High quality papers in all data mining areas are solicited.  Papers
 exploring new directions will receive especially careful and
 supportive reviews.
 
 There are two types of paper submissions for IEEE ICDM '03: (1)
 research-track submissions and (2) industry-track submissions. All paper
 submissions will be handled electronically. Please use the Submission
 Form at the ICDM '03 webpage to submit your paper.
 
 For research-track submissions, papers should be limited to a maximum
 of 6,000 words (approximately 20 A4 pages), and will be reviewed by
 the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance to
 data mining, originality, significance, and clarity.  Accepted papers
 will be published in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer
 Society Press.
 
 For industry-track submissions, please make sure that the following
 conditions are met: (a) Papers cannot exceed 3,000 words, (b) At least
 one author of each industry-track paper should be from an industrial
 company, and the paper should be about industrial or other real-world
 applications of data mining, AND (c) a description of how the
 application has been conceived, developed and deployed must be
 provided.  (Papers that present interesting data mining applications
 but do not qualify as industry-track submissions according to the
 these criteria can be submitted to the research track.)  The
 conference will provide an opportunity for the authors of accepted
 industry-track papers to showcase their efforts in front of the
 world's finest data miners via a software demonstration.
 
 All papers submitted to the industry track will also be reviewed by
 the Program Committee, and each accepted industry-track paper will be
 allocated 4 pages in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer
 Society Press.
 
 A selected number of IEEE ICDM '03 accepted papers will be invited for
 possible inclusion, in an expanded and revised form, in the Knowledge
 and Information Systems journal (http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~xwu/kais.html)
 by Springer-Verlag.
 
 IEEE ICDM Best Paper Awards will be conferred at the conference on the
 authors of (1) the best research paper and (2) the best application
 paper.  Papers from the industry track and application-oriented papers
 from the research track will both be considered for the best
 application award.
