Dear Researchers & Practitioners!

You are invited to participate in the 2006 International Conference on Data 
Mining! DMIN'06 is an international conference held simultaneously with 28 
other joint conferences as part of WORLDCOMP'06, The 2006 World Congress in 
Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing. WORLDCOMP'06 is 
one of the largest annual gatherings of researchers and practitioners in 
computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. Each of the joint 
conferences in WORLDCOMP is a premier conference for presentation of advances 
in their respective fields (for the complete list of joint conferences please 
see www.dmin-2006.com ). The last set of conferences (DMIN'05 and affiliated 
events) had research contributions from 76 countries and had attracted over 
1,500 participants. It is anticipated to have over 2,000 participants for the 
2006 event. 

You are invited to submit a draft paper via our website. All accepted papers 
will be published in the respective conference proceedings. The names of 
technical session/workshop organizers/chairs will appear on the cover of the 
proceedings/books as Associate Editors.

stringer into consideration.


DRAFT PAPER 
We welcome all contributions through theoretical research papers and industrial 
reports and case studies on applications in form of regular research papers of 
7 pages IEEE style. In addition, we welcome student research proposals as short 
papers of 4 pages plus plenary presentations to receive guidance, online 
demonstrations of prototype software systems of 1 page and presentation in 
informal poster sessions. Accepted submissions include:
- regular research papers (max. 7 pages IEEE style, formal presentation)
- regular industry & application reports (max. 7 pages IEEE style, informal 
poster presentation)
- short research papers (max. 4 pages IEEE style, poster presentation)
- short industry & application reports (max. 4 pages IEEE style, poster 
presentation)
- student research proposals (max. 4 pages IEEE style, formal presentation)
- software demonstrations (max. 1 page IEEE style, poster presentation / online 
demonstration)
- posters (max. 1 page IEEE style, poster presentation)

Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper (between 1 to 7 
pages, standard 2 column IEEE style) via our online submission systems by Feb. 
20, 2006. Online submissions of PDF-files via the conference management system 
are encouraged. In selected exceptions an E-mail submission as MS Word document 
or Adobe PDF formats or Fax or postal submissions are also acceptable.

CAMERA READY PAPERS
The length of the camera ready papers accepted will be limited to 7 IEEE style 
pages. Standard IEEE templates & typing instructions, copyright forms, 
conference registration forms etc. will be supplied upon acceptance. After the 
conference, selected papers will be considered for publication in appropriate 
journals and special issues. All conference proceedings are considered for 
inclusion in major database indexes that are designed to provide easy access to 
the current literature of the sciences (e.g.: ISI Thomson Scientific, IEE 
INSPEC ...). Presentation time and form will be limited to 20 minutes depending 
on the submission category
