CALL FOR PAPERS - DATA MINING 2000 Second International Conference on DATA MINING 5 - 7 July 2000 - Cambridge University, UK Organised by Wessex Institute of Technology, Southampton, UK http://www.wessex.ac.uk/conferences/2000/data2000/ CONFERENCE DIRECTORS N Ebecken - COPPE, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil C A Brebbia - Wessex Institute of Technology, UK A Weigend - New York University, USA INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE M Costantino - London, UK M Mattoso - COPPE, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil L Sucharov - Wessex Institute of Technology, UK M Quafafou - Inst de Recherche en Informatique de Nantes, France R Tsaih - National Chengchi University, Taiwan B Wuthrich - University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong A Zanasi - IBM Italy S.p.A., Italy N Zhong - Yamaguchi University, Japan H G Zimmermann - Siemens AG, Germany OBJECTIVES Data mining is a promising and relatively new area of current research and development which can provide important advantages to the users. It can yield substantial knowledge from data primarily gathered for a wide range of quite different applications. Financial institutions have derived considerable benefits from its application and other industries and disciplines are now applying the methodology to increasing effect. The second International Conference on Data Mining will provide an international forum for the sharing of original research results and practical development experiences among researchers and applications developers from different areas such as computer experts, statisticians, knowledge acquisition specialists, data analysts, IT consultants, data visualisation experts, and users and developers in business and industry. The Conference aims to bring together the participants from academic and research, industry and government organisations. The meeting will allow participants to learn about the many different applications of data mining and how the techniques can help in their own field. LOCATION AND DATES The Conference will be held from 5 - 7 July 2000. New Hall, with its established gardens and many old trees, provides a tranquil setting with easy access from the motorway and ample parking - yet is only ten minutes walk from the heart of Cambridge. It is an international and cosmopolitan college which enjoys new links with Japan through the presence within its grounds of the Kaetsu Educational and Cultural Centre. ACCOMMODATION Special rates have been negotiated with the University. Details will be available in the Provisional Programme and will be sent to all delegates nearer the time. CONFERENCE DINNER An evening dinner will be held during the conference which provides the opportunity for delegates to meet socially and discuss ideas in a more informal setting. All delegates and partners are welcome to attend. Further information will be available from the Conference Secretariat nearer the time. CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS The proceedings of the conference will be published to a high standard by WIT Press and will be available to delegates at the Conference. The Proceedings will also be distributed worldwide through the international book trade. MINI-DISPLAY FACILITIES Mini exhibition facilities will be available for those firms or organisations wishing to display products, services, hardware software, literature relating to the theme of the conference. Please contact the Conference Secretariat for details.
