CALL FOR PAPERS
----------------------------------------------------------------
Third SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (2003)
Cathedral Hill Hotel, San Francisco, CA,
May 1-3, 2003
URL: http://www.siam.org/meetings/sdm03/
----------------------------------------------------------------
Advances in information technology and data collection methods have led
to the availability of large data sets in commercial enterprises and in
a wide variety of scientific and engineering disciplines. We have an
unprecedented opportunity to analyze this data and extract intelligent
and useful information from it. The field of data mining draws upon
extensive work in areas such as statistics, machine learning, pattern
recognition, databases, and high performance computing to discover
interesting and previously unknown information in data.
This conference will provide a forum for the presentation of recent
results
in data mining, including applications, algorithms, software, and systems.
There will be peer reviewed, contributed papers as well as invited talks,
tutorials and a panel. Best paper awards will be given for papers in
different categories. Proceedings of the conference will be available both
online at the SIAM Web site and in hard copy form. In addition, several
workshops on topics of current interest will be held on the final day of
the conference.
