The IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM) has established itself as
the world's premier research conference in data mining. The 10th edition of ICDM
(ICDM '10) provides a leading forum for presentation of original research results,
as well as exchange and dissemination of innovative, practical development
experiences. The conference covers all aspects of data mining, including algorithms,
software and systems, and applications. In addition, ICDM draws researchers and
application developers from a wide range of data mining related areas such as
statistics, machine learning, pattern recognition, databases and data warehousing,
data visualization, knowledge-based systems, and high performance computing. By
promoting novel, high quality research findings, and innovative solutions to
challenging data mining problems, the conference seeks to continuously advance the
state-of-the-art in data mining. Besides the technical program, the conference will
feature workshops, tutorials, panels, and the ICDM data mining contest.

Paper Submissions
*****************

High quality papers in all data mining areas are solicited. Original papers exploring
new directions will receive especially careful consideration. Papers that have already
been accepted or are currently under review for other conferences or journals will not
be considered for ICDM '10.

Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 10 pages in the IEEE 2-column format,
the same as the camera-ready format (http://www.ieeeconfpublishing.org/cpir/AuthorKit.asp?
Community=CPS&Facility=CPS_Dec&ERoom=ICDM+2009). All papers will be double-blind reviewed
by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance to data mining,originality,
significance, and clarity. Papers that do not comply with the Submission Guidelines
(http://datamining.it.uts.edu.au/icdm10/index.php/paper-submissions/submission-guidelines)
will be rejected without review.

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer
Society Press and accorded oral presentation times in the main conference. Submissions
accepted as regular papers will be allocated 10 pages in the proceedings. Submissions
accepted as short papers will be allocated 6 pages in the proceedings and will have a
shorter presentation time at the conference than regular papers.

A selected number of IEEE ICDM '10 accepted papers will be invited for possible inclusion,
in expanded and revised form, in the Knowledge and Information Systems journal published
by Springer-Verlag.

papers to ICDM2010.

ICDM Best Paper Awards
**********************
IEEE ICDM Best Paper Awards will be conferred at the conference on the authors of (1) the
best research paper, (2) the best application paper, and (3) the best student paper. Strong,
foundational results will be considered for the best research paper award and application
-oriented submissions will be considered for the best application paper award. The best
student paper award will be given to the authors of the best paper written solely by one
or more students.

Workshops and Tutorials
***********************
ICDM '10 will host short and long tutorials as well as workshops that focus on new research
directions and initiatives. All accepted workshop papers will be included in a separate
workshop proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

ICDM Data Mining Contest
************************
ICDM '10 will host a data mining contest to challenge researchers and practitioners with a
real practical data mining problem. For further details on proposals and expression of
interest, please see the Call for Data Mining Contest Proposals.

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: data
mining foundations, mining in emerging domains, methodological aspects and the KDD process,
and integrated KDD applications, systems, and experiences. A detailed listing of specific
topics can be found at the conference website.
