ICDM '08: The 8th IEEE International Conference on Data Mining ************************************************************** Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society

December 15-19, 2008 Pisa, Italy http://icdm08.isti.cnr.it

Important Dates July 7, 2008 Deadline for paper submission September 15, 2008 Notification to authors October 7, 2008 Deadline for camera-ready copies December 15-19, 2008 Conference

Call for Papers ***************

The IEEE International Conference on Data Mining series (ICDM) has established itself as the world's premier research conference in data mining, providing 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 '08.

A selected number of IEEE ICDM '08 accepted papers will be invited for possible inclusion, in expanded and revised form, in the Knowledge and Information Systems journal (http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~kais/) published by Springer-Verlag.

ICDM Best Paper Awards **********************

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. 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.

Workshops and Tutorials ***********************

ICDM '08 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 ************************

A call for organizing a data mining contest will be issued to challenge researchers and practitioners with a real practical data mining problem.
