CFPFrom: Mohammed Zaki zaki@badr.cs.rpi.eduDate: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 10:23:28 -0500 Subject: CFP: Special Issue on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining Distributed and Parallel Databases: An International Journal Special Issue on PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED DATA MINING URL: www.cs.rpi.edu/~zaki/DPDJ.html GUEST EDITORS: Mohammed J. Zaki, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (zaki@cs.rpi.edu) Yi Pan, Gerogia State University (pan@cs.gsu.edu) With the unprecedented growth-rate at which data is being collected and stored electronically today in almost all fields of human endeavor, the efficient mining of useful information from the data available is becoming an increasing scientific challenge and a massive economic need. While data mining has its roots in the traditional fields of machine learning and statistics, the sheer volume of data today poses the most serious problem. This special issue on parallel and distributed data mining methods and processes from both an algorithmic and systems perspective. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to (see URL for more detailed CFP): * Efficient, scalable, disk-based, parallel and distributed algorithms for large-scale data mining tasks. * New algorithms for common data mining methods such as association rules, sequences, classification, clustering, deviation detection, etc. * Pre-processing and post-processing operations like sampling, feature selection, data reduction and transformation, rule grouping and pruning, etc. * Incremental, exploratory and interactive mining * Meta-mining, coping with distributed and/or heterogeneous datasets. * Integration of mining with parallel/distributed databases and data-warehouses. * Mining non-traditional datasets, such as large scientific databases. * Frameworks for KDD systems, and parallel or distributed mining. * Agent based approaches for PDDM. * Applications of PDDM in business, science, engineering, medicine, and other disciplines. * Theoretical foundation of PDDM. SUBMISSION: Authors are encouraged to submit high quality, original work that has neither appeared in, nor is under consideration by, other journals. We encourage electronic submission of postscript files. Submissions should be in 12pt font, 1.5 line-spacing, and should not exceed 30 pages. Authors must submit 5 hardcopies of the paper to the kluwer office directly. The cover letter must include the title of the special issue and the title of the journal. Send the hard copies to: Kluwer Academic Publishers, Journals Editorial Office, 101 Philip Drive, Assinippi Park, Norwell, MA 02061, U.S.A.
