The 13th European Conference on Machine Learning (ECML'02)
and
The 6th European Conference on Principles and Practice of
Knowledge Discovery in Databases (PKDD-02)
19-23 August 2002, Helsinki, Finland
Joint Call for Tutorials and Workshops
--------------------------------------
With this call we are inviting proposals for tutorials and workshops
to be held during the conference week of ECML/PKDD 2002. These
tutorials and workshops will be freely accessible to participants of
the joint conference. They will take place on August 19 and 20, before
the start of the main conference. Workshops and workshop/tutorial
combinations (see below) will last for a full day, while tutorials
will be half-day events. We currently foresee up to 6 tutorials, 6
workshops, and 2 workshop/tutorial combinations. However, these
numbers are subject to change.
Workshops provide organizers and participants an opportunity to
discuss current topics in machine learning and/or data mining in a
small and interactive atmosphere. Thus, any topic that is of current
interest to a sufficient number of participants from the two
communities could be the focus of a workshop. Workshops can choose to
concentrate in-depth on research topics, but can also be devoted to
application issues, or to questions concerning the economic and social
aspects of machine learning and data mining.
Tutorials should provide an introduction and/or a review of the
state-of-the-art of a topic that is of interest to attendants of a
machine learning or a data mining conference. These could be on
particular research topics within the two fields, but could also be on
topics from other research fields if the proposal makes clear why this
is considered to be an important topic for researchers from other
areas. A tutorial must be broad enough to cover a research area in
which there is a significant publication activity in the community.
Presentations that focus on the presenters' own research results or
commercial presentations are not eligible.
As workshops and tutorial are in a sense complementary, we also
welcome proposals for combined tutorial-workshop events. The general
idea is that the tutorial gives an introduction to the field of the
workshop, making the workshop accessible to a broader audience.
For practical information on the workshops and tutorials, and for
details on the submission procedure, please refer to the detailed call
for workshops and tutorials that is available at
