----------------------------------------------------------------------- ECMLPKDD 2016 Conference Track Call for Papers
http://www.ecmlpkdd2016.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Important dates - Abstract submission deadline: *Friday, April 1, 2016* - Paper submission deadline: *Monday, April 4, 2016* - Author notification: *Monday, June 20, 2016* - Camera ready submission:* Friday, July 1, 2016* Submissions are solicited for the 2016 edition of the European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (ECMLPKDD). The conference provides an international forum for the discussion of the latest high-quality research results in all areas related to machine learning and knowledge discovery in databases and other innovative application domains. The 2016 conference will take place in Riva Del Garda, Italy, September 19-23. This edition will feature a full day of plenary presentations, for papers of general interest to the whole community, and two days of parallel sessions. All papers will be presented both orally and as posters. Papers on all topics related to machine learning, knowledge discovery, and data mining are invited. Submission process Electronic submissions will be handled via CMT at the following address: https://cmt2.research.microsoft.com/ECMLPKDD2016/. Please note that user accounts in each CMT conference is independent of other conferences so you will need to create a new account. Abstracts need to be registered by Friday April 1, 2016, 23:59 Central European Time, and full submissions will be accepted until Monday April 4, 2016, 23:59 Central European Time. Papers must be written in English and formatted according to the Springer LNAI guidelines. Author instructions, style files and copyright form can be downloaded at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The maximum length of papers is 16 pages in this format. Overlength 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 overlength). Up to 10 MB of additional materials (e.g. proofs, audio, images, video, data or source code) can be attached to the submission. Note that the reviewers and the program committee reserve the right to judge the paper solely on the basis of the 16 pages of the paper; looking at any additional material is up to the discretion of the reviewers and is not required. Reviewing process The review process is single-blind (authors identities known to reviewers). Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of technical quality, novelty, potential impact, and clarity. Authors will have the opportunity to point out factual errors, obvious mistakes, or misconceptions by reviewers during a rebuttal phase following the release of initial reviews. Dual submissions policy Papers submitted should report original work. ECML PKDD 2016 will not accept any paper that, 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. The dual submissions policy applies during the whole ECMLPKDD 2016 reviewing period from April 1 to June 20, 2016. Reproducible research papers Authors are encouraged to adhere to the best practices of Reproducible Research (RR), by making available data and software tools for reproducing the results reported in their papers. Authors of accepted papers may flag their submissions as RR and make software and data accessible to reviewers and to the program committee who will verify the accessibility of software and data. Links to data and code will be then inserted in the final version of RR papers. For the sake of persistence and proper authorship attribution, we require the use of standard repository hosting services such as Dataverse, mldata.org, OpenML, etc. for data sets, and mloss.org, Bitbucket, GitHub, etc. for source code. If data or code gets updated after the paper is published, it is important to enable researchers to access the versions that were used to produce the results reported in the paper. Proceedings The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series (LNAI). There will be no difference in the proceedings between papers presented in parallel sessions and papers presented during the plenary day. In addition to normal conference submissions, papers can be submitted to the ECMLPKDD 2016 journal track. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and published either in Machine Learning or in Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery. For information about the journal track, please see the separate Journal Track call for papers.
