------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR INDUSTRIAL/GOVERNMENT TRACK PAPERS KDD-2003 THE NINTH ACM SIGKDD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY AND DATA MINING August 24-27, 2003 Washington, DC, USA http://www.acm.org/sigkdd/kdd2003/ ________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES: Submission Deadlines: Electronic Abstract Submission - Feb. 21, 2003 Electronic Paper Submission - Feb. 28, 2003 Submission Format : Camera-Ready (no more than 10 pages) Electronic Submission only Notification of acceptance/rejection: May 23, 2003 Camera-ready papers due: June 6, 2003 ________________________________________________________________________ The Industrial/Government Track of the Ninth ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining will highlight successful applications of KDD technology; explore issues, methods, and lessons learned in the development and deployment of KDD applications; and promote the exchange of ideas between basic and applied KDD. KDD-2003 is expanding the scope of the Industrial Track to include applications of KDD to government and homeland-security problems, which have recently gained importance. As such, the track will be called the KDD-2003 Industrial/Government Track. The goals of the expanded track are: (1) to provide a forum for an exchange of ideas between practitioners, researchers, companies and government organizations; and (2) provide government organizations with an understanding of successful KDD applications. To achieve these goals, the Industrial/Government Track will solicit papers from practitioners and companies that have KDD products and solutions relevant to government and security applications. Abstracts and full papers must be submitted electronically at the conference Web site (see URL above). Abstracts must be submitted on or before February 21, 2003, at 12 noon PST (Pacific Standard Time). An abstract may not contain more than 250 words. No paper will be considered without having the abstract submitted on time. Full papers must be submitted on or before February 28, 2003, at 12 noon PST. This is a FIRM deadline. Papers must be no more than 10 pages in length, inclusive of all figures, tables, references and appendixes. Papers should be submitted in ACM proceedings format (two columns, 9pt font, approx. 1in margins). Templates are available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html . Papers must be submitted in PDF format. Authors are solely responsible for ensuring that their submissions display and print properly. Papers should describe original work that has not been published before, is not under review elsewhere, and will not be submitted elsewhere during KDD-2003's review period (specialized workshops with a limited audience excluded). Reviewers can assign research track submissions to the industrial/government track and vice-versa, if they feel this to be more appropriate. The Industrial/Government Track will consist of papers in three sub-tracks: (1) deployed KDD application case studies; (2) emerging applications, technology, and issues; and (3) KDD vendor submissions.
