Call For Workshop Proposals, ICDM '03
Melbourne, Florida, USA
November 19 - 22, 2003
|
The
ICDM '03 organizing committee invites proposals for workshops to be held in
conjunction with the conference. The purpose of these workshops is to provide
participants with an informal setting for discussing innovative work in
progress on important new technical directions. Workshops will be held on November 19, immediately preceding the
conference on November 20-22.
Researchers
and practitioners from all areas of the data mining community are invited to
submit proposals for review. The organizers of approved workshops are expected
to define the workshop's focus, gather and review submissions, and decide upon
final program content. Although the format of the workshop also is to be
determined by the organizers, substantial time should be allotted for
discussion.
The
schedule for submission and preparation of workshop papers also will be left to the
discretion of the workshop organizers. Because
ICDM will handle publication of the informal workshop proceedings, we ask that
(1) workshop papers be prepared in the same format as ICDM conference papers (Latex style file available here),
(2) workshop papers adhere to a 10 page limit (2 pages longer than the
conference limit), and (3) workshop organizers prepare the camera-ready
proceedings by October 20.
