ICDM 2008 Call for Tutorials ---------------------------- The 2008 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM'08)
December 15 - 19, 2009. Pisa, Italy. http://icdm08.isti.cnr.it/ The International Conference on Data Mining series (ICDM) is well established as a top ranked research conference in data mining, providing a premier 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. ICDM'08 will be the eighth edition of the series. Please visit http://icdm08.isti.cnr.it/ for more information about the conference. ICDM'08 will host tutorials covering topics in data mining of interest to the research community as well as application developers. The tutorials will be part of the main conference technical program, and are free of charge to the attendees of the conference. We invite proposals for tutorials from active researchers and experienced tutors. Ideally, a tutorial will cover the state-of-the-art research, development and applications in a specific data mining direction, and stimulate and facilitate future work. A tutorial should not mainly focus on only the presenters' previous work. Tutorials on interdisciplinary directions, novel and fast growing directions, and significant applications are highly encouraged. ICDM will provide an honorarium for each tutorial. It is possible, depending on actual conference attendance, that the conference can (partly) support travel and subsistence expenses for tutorial speakers. Please provide an estimate for these expenses in your proposal if you are expecting the conference to cover these expenses for you. We will assume that the tutorial speakers will be able to cover these expenses from their own sources if no estimate is included in their proposals. A tutorial proposal should be formatted in the following sections. 1. Title 2. Abstract (up to 150 words) 3. Rationale of presenting the tutorial at ICDM'08 (up to 200 words) 4. Target audience and prerequisites (up to 50 words) 5. A list of forums and their time and locations if the tutorial or a similar/highly related tutorial has been presented by the same author(s) before, and highlight the similarity/difference between those and the one proposed for ICDM'08 (up to 100 words for each entry) 6. A list of tutorials on the same/similar/highly related topics given by other people, and highlight the difference between yours and theirs (up to 100 words for each entry) 7. A list of other tutorials given by the authors, please list the titles, the presenters and the forums only. 8. Tutors' short bio and their expertise related to the tutorial (up to 100 words per tutor) 9. An outline of the tutorial in the form of a bullet list (up to 1 page) 10. Length of the tutorial: short (1.5-2 hours) or long (3-4 hours). If you are flexible, please indicate in the outline the content that will not be included if a short tutorial is given. 11. A list of up to 20 most important references that will be covered in the tutorial 12. (Optional) URLs of the slides/notes of the previous tutorials given by the authors, and any specific audio/vedio/computer requirements for the tutorial Please kindly send your proposals to Arno Siebes ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and Dino Pedreschi ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) on or before *** June 30, 2008. *** The selection results will be announced in late July. The tutorial co-chairs, Dino Pedreschi Arno Siebes _______________________________________________ uai mailing list uai@ENGR.ORST.EDU https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai
