ICDM Call for Workshop Proposals

ICDM '03: The Third IEEE International Conference on Data Mining
================================================================
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society

Melbourne, Florida, USA
November 19 - 22, 2003

Call for Workshop Proposals
***************************

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,
solicit 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
ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/IEEE_CS_LaTeX.zip),
(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.

  o A brief description of the specific technical issues that the
    workshop will address
  o The reasons why the workshop is of interest at this time.
  o The names, postal address, phone and fax numbers and email
    addresses of the Workshop Organizing Committee.  This committee
    should consist of at least three experts in the field, not all at

    designated the contact person.
