SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 1, 2001

Advances in information technology and data collection methods have
led to the availability of large data sets in commercial enterprises
and in a wide variety of scientific and engineering disciplines. We
have an unprecedented opportunity to analyze this data and extract
intelligent and useful information. The field of data mining draws
upon extensive work in areas such as; statistics, machine learning,
pattern recognition, databases, and high performance computing to
discover interesting and previously unknown information in datasets.

This conference will provide a forum for the presentation of recent
results in data mining, including; applications, algorithms, software,
and systems. There will be peer reviewed, contributed papers as well
as invited talks and tutorials. Proceedings of the conference will be
available both online at the SIAM Web site and in hard copy form. In
addition, several workshops on topics of current interest will be held
on the final day of the conference.
