ECML/PKDD 2014: European Conference on Machine Learning and
Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases
Nancy, France, September 15-19, 2014
http://www.ecmlpkdd2014.org/
-----------------------------------------------------------
The European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and
Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases, ECML/PKDD,
provides an international forum for the discussion of the latest
high-quality research results in all areas related to machine
learning, data mining and knowledge discovery in databases, as
well as other innovative application domains. The 2014 edition
of ECML/PKDD will take place in Nancy, France, September 15-19.
Submissions are invited on all aspects of machine learning,
knowledge discovery and data mining, including real-world
applications. Papers will mainly be evaluated on the basis of
their relevance for the conference, their scientific
contribution, rigor and correctness, the quality of presentation
and reproducibility of experiments. Apart from that, we
specifically welcome submissions which
-- have the potential to inspire the research community by
introducing new and relevant problems, concepts, solution
strategies, and ideas;
-- contribute to solving a problem widely recognized as both
challenging and important;
-- address a novel area of impact of machine learning and data
mining.

Proceedings
-----------------------------------------------------------
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the
Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series (LNAI).
Apart from making regular conference submissions, there is also
the possibility of submitting papers to the ECML/PKDD 2014
journal track. For information about the journal track, please
visit the following website:
http://ecmlpkdd2014.loria.fr/submission/journal-track-submission/
-----------------------------------------------------------
Submissions
-----------------------------------------------------------
The papers must be written in English and formatted according to
the Springer LNAI guidelines. Authors instructions and style
files can be downloaded at:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
The maximum length of papers is 16 pages in this format. Over
length papers will be rejected without review (papers with
smaller page margins and font sizes than specified in the author
instructions and set in the style files will also be treated as
over length). Papers submitted should report original work;
ECML/PKDD 2014 will not accept any paper which, at the time of
submission, is under review or has already been accepted for
publication in a journal or another conference. Authors are also
expected not to submit their papers elsewhere during the review
period.
Guidelines for submission will be made available on the
conference website soon.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Reviewing process
-----------------------------------------------------------
Papers submitted to ECML/PKDD 2014 will normally be reviewed by
three referees. The review process is single-blind (reviewer
identities unknown to authors) and there will be no opportunity
for author rebuttal. This decision was made to minimize reviewer
workload and to concentrate it in time, which may ultimately
result in better quality reviews and decisions. If necessary, a
discussion will take place among the reviewers of a paper until
a decision is reached.
