<div style><br></div><div style>The IEEE International Conference on Data Mining series (ICDM) has</div><div style>established itself as the world's premier research conference in data</div><div style>mining. ICDM '12 provides a leading international forum for the</div>
<div style>presentation of original research results, as well as exchange and</div><div style>dissemination of innovative ideas, drawing researchers and</div><div style>practitioners from a wide range of data mining related areas such as</div>
<div style>statistics, machine learning, pattern recognition, databases,</div><div style>visualization, and high performance computing. By promoting novel,</div><div style>high quality research findings, and innovative solutions to</div>
<div style>challenging data mining problems, the conference seeks to continuously</div><div style>advance the state-of-the-art in data mining. Besides the technical</div><div style>program, the conference will feature invited talks from research and</div>
<div style>industry leaders, as well as workshops, tutorials, panels, and the</div><div style>ICDM data mining contest.</div><div style><br></div><div style>Paper Submissions </div><div style>*****************</div><div style>
<br></div><div style>We invite high quality submissions on all aspects of data mining and</div><div style>knowledge discovery. Papers should be original and innovative,</div><div style>rigorously evaluated and well-presented. Broad areas of interest</div>
<div style>include, but are not limited to (see</div><div style><a href="http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~icdm/Topics.shtml" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~icdm/Topics.shtml</a> for a more detailed list of</div>
<div style>topics):</div><div style><br></div><div style> * Novel Algorithms</div><div style> * Theory and Foundations</div><div style> * Systems and Frameworks</div><div style> * Innovative Applications</div><div style> * Large-scale Approaches</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>All submitted papers will be judged based on their significance,</div><div style>originality, repeatability, and clarity. Substantially similar papers</div><div style>that have already been accepted, or are simultaneously under review</div>
<div style>during the ICDM review period will not be considered. Papers will be</div><div style>triple-blind reviewed and should be limited to a maximum of 10 pages.</div><div style>Papers that do not comply with the Submission Guidelines (available at</div>
<div style><a href="http://icdm2012.ua.ac.be/" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">http://icdm2012.ua.ac.be</a>) will be rejected without review.</div><div style><br></div><div style>Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by the</div>
<div style>IEEE Computer Society Press. Regular paper will be allocated 10 pages</div><div style>in the proceedings, and longer oral presentation time, whereas short</div><div style>papers will be allowed 6 pages in the proceedings, with shorter oral</div>
<div style>presentation time. A selected number of IEEE ICDM '12 top-ranked</div><div style>papers will be invited for possible inclusion, in expanded and revised</div><div style>form, in the Knowledge and Information Systems journal</div>
<div style>(<a href="http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~kais/" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~kais/</a>) published by Springer.</div><div style><br></div><div style>Repeatability Guidelines: To ensure the long term viability of data</div>
<div style>mining research, every effort should be made to provide the</div><div style>source-code (or executables), as well as the datasets (or their</div><div style>closest publicly available equivalents). The experimental results</div>
<div style>section should mention all relevant implementation details and</div><div style>parameter specifications, so that the results can be independently</div><div style>duplicated.</div><div style><br></div><div style>
