Call for Special Sessions, Tutorials and Competitions

==============================================================================
IEEE Symposium on 
Computational Intelligence and 
Data Mining 2009 (CIDM’09)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part of the 2009 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI’09)
Nashville, Tennessee, USA
March 30 - April 2, 2009
==============================================================================
 
The 2009 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (IEEE 
CIDM 2009, at http://www.ieee-ssci.org/) solicits proposals for special 
activities within the technical scope of the symposium, focusing on a special 
session, tutorial presentation, software presentation or competition of 
computational intelligence (CI) in Data Mining (DM). 
 
Call for Special Sessions
CIDM’09 invites proposals for special sessions, to be organized by 
internationally recognized experts, which aim to bring together researchers in 
special focused topics in DM. Papers submitted to special sessions will be 
peer-reviewed with the same criteria used for the contributed papers. Special 
session proposals should include the session title, a brief description of the 
scope and relevance to CI and DM, a list of potential authors who might submit 
papers to the special session, and brief bios of the special session 
organizers. 
 
Call for Tutorials 
CIDM’09 invites proposals for tutorials covering fundamental and advanced 
topics on DM. A tutorial proposal should include title, outline, relevance to 
CI and DM, expected enrollment, and presenter biography. Tutorial proposal will 
be evaluated on its relevancy to the theoretical foundations and practical 
applications to computational intelligence and data mining research fields. 
 
Call for Competitions 
CIDM’09 invites proposals for the organisation of competitions to stimulate and 
disseminate research in CI and DM, promote fair evaluations of methods and 
applications, and to attract and engage academic, practitioners and students. A 
proposal should include a description of the problem addressed, motivation and 
expected impact regarding CI and DM, data description, evaluation procedures 
and established baselines, schedule, anticipated number of participants, and 
biographic information of the main team members. 
 
Proposal Submission
Experts interested in organizing a special activity should submit a proposal in 
pdf format via email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] by September 21, 2008. Informal 
enquiries before the submission deadline are welcome.
 
Important Dates
September 21, 2008   Special activities proposals due
October 31, 2008     Paper submissions due
November 30, 2008    Notification to authors
January 15, 2009     Camera-ready papers due
 
About the IEEE CIDM’09 Conference
IEEE CIDM’09 will be held simultaneously with 20 other symposia in one location 
at the IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence 2009 (IEEE SSCI’09). 
This international event promotes all aspects of the theory and applications of 
computational intelligence. Sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence 
Society, this event will attract top researchers, professionals, practitioners 
and students from around the world. The registration, which will allow 
participants to attend any session in any technical meeting, will also include 
the complete set of the proceedings of all the meetings, coffee breaks, 
lunches, and the banquet. The event will be held in the magical town of 
Nashville, Tennessee, USA, the city of country music, from March 30 - April 2, 
2009.
 
IEEE CIDM’09 will bring together scientists, engineers and students from around 
the world to discuss the latest advances in the field of CI applied to issues 
in DM. This conference will provide a forum for the presentation of recent 
results in data mining algorithms, applications, software and data mining 
systems. 
 
Some of the topics covered include applications of computational intelligence 
technologies, such as neural networks, graphical models and fuzzy systems for 
data modeling and data understanding, new approaches for handling uncertainty, 
evolutionary computation and other emerging optimization techniques in the 
following or similar areas:
·        CI/probabilistic/statistical/machine learning and other methods
•        Data understanding, rule extraction, logical models
•        Feature extraction, selection, aggregation, construction
•        Multimedia data mining
•        Mining of signals and data streams
•        Mining spatial and spatio-temporal data
•        Mining of very large datasets, scalability
•        Text, graph and web mining
•        Meta-learning, predictive data mining
•        Visual data mining
•        Case studies.
•        Applications to biometrics, biomedicine, chemistry, drug design, 
e-commerce, engineering, finance and marketing research, intelligence, 
industry, remote sensing, scientific data mining, security, sensory networks 
and others.
 
We look forward to welcoming you in Nashville!
