---------------------------------------------------------------------- ICDM '01: The 2001 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society ---------------------------------------------------------------------- San Jose, California, USA November 29 - December 2, 2001 Home Page: http://kais.mines.edu/~xwu/icdm/icdm-01.html

IEEE ICDM 2001: Call for Tutorials **********************************

The 2001 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM '01) will include tutorials providing in-depth background on specific subjects in data mining. The recency of the data mining field, and the variety of disciplines that are represented, lead to many possibilities for good tutorials:

* Short courses on areas of machine learning, databases, or statistics that may be "old hat" to specialists in that discipline, but are new to a majority of the conference attendees. (e.g., An Introduction to Hidden Markov Models). * Surveys of new and developing research areas in data mining. (e.g., Text Mining). * End-to-end descriptions of the practical application of data mining technology (i.e., applications that may be "typical" for a paper, but provide an example of issues faced in a data mining project that would generalize to problems faced by the conference attendees). * An in-depth coverage of a past research breakthrough that is now becoming a mature technology.

The topics of interest fall within those described in the conference Call for Papers (http://kais.mines.edu/~xwu/icdm/icdm-01.html).

Submission Details ==================

The tutorial proposal should include the following:

1. Title and abstract of the tutorial; 2. Intended audience. Include prerequisite knowledge required of the attendees, and the expected areas of interest. (For example, a tutorial on statistics for people applying data mining tools vs. a tutorial on statistics for people building data mining tools); 3. Length of time needed (e.g., half day or full day); and 4. Short biographies of the presenters.

Tutorial materials such as handouts and slides should be included if available, but are not required for submission. However, providing such materials will show depth and maturity of the tutorial, and will be a strong factor in the selection process.

Please send a soft copy (preferred) of your proposal to clifton@computer.org, or a hard copy to:

Dr. Chris Clifton The MITRE Corporation M/S K308, 202 Burlington Rd, Bedford, MA 01730-1420, USA

Important Dates ===============

June 30, 2001: Tutorial submissions. July 31, 2001: Acceptance notices. August 31, 2001: Camera-ready copy of tutorial handouts. November 29, 2001: ICDM '01 tutorials.
