PKDD-2000 is the Fourth European Conference on Principles and Practice
of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (PKDD). A full day of workshops
and symposia will be hosted  on September 12, prior to the conference,
at the conference location in Lyon.

Workshops are appropriate for smaller groups, focused on a well
defined subject, for instance a common set of data or a common
discovery problem.  They should encourage presentation of new research
ideas and work in progress that may not have reached maturity.  Ample
time should be scheduled for discussion.  The target size is 20-30
participants.

The scope and attendance of a symposium may be broader.  Both work in
progress and complete work can be presented.  Panel discussions,
demonstrations, invited presentations are encouraged.  The target size
is 40-50-60 participants.

Proposals should contain:
* a title for the workshop or symposium
* description of the topics
* motivation: why are the topics of particular interest to the
   participants; are the topics of interest to the broader KDD
   community
* format description and estimated duration in hours
* the name of workshop chair and 2-5 other committee members;
   they should be technical experts in the field; be able to
   publicize the workshop or symposium in various communities
* estimated number of participants
   a list of potential authors and attendees, if available
