Subject: ICDM'02 Workshop CFP - Privacy, Security, and Data Mining

How do we mine data when we aren't allowed to see it?

To be held in conjunction with The 2002 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining
Maebashi TERRSA, Maebashi City, Japan, December 9, 2002

Submission Deadline: September 13, 2002.

For full call for papers, see http://www.cs.purdue.edu/~clifton/psdm.html

In the light of developments in technology to analyze personal data, public concerns regarding privacy are rising. While some believe that statistical and Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDDM) research is detached from this issue, we can certainly see that the debate is gaining momentum as KDDM and statistical tools are more widely adopted by public and private organizations hosting large databases of personal records. One of the key requirements of a data mining project is access to the relevant data. Privacy and Security concerns can constrain such access, threatening to derail data mining projects. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss these issues and promote achievements of researchers in the area. We want to bring together experts, including both researchers and practitioners, in privacy, data mining and its applications, and statistical database security.

Workshop Content and Format

This will be a full day workshop, opening with a presentation by an invited speaker to set the stage. The rest of the day will consist of paper sessions with ample time for questions and breaks for discussion. The goal is to bring participants up to speed on the issues and solutions in this area, outline key research problems, and encourage collaborations to address these problems.

To encourage quality submissions, the best paper from the workshop will compete with regular papers from the International Conference on Data Mining to have extended versions considered for possible publication in the Journal of Knowledge and Information Systems.

Submission Guidelines

Papers should be at most 12 pages long in single-column format, 12-point font, with at least 1-inch margins on all sides. Please submit electronically (PDF or PostScript preferred, contact one of the chairs for help with other formats) to clifton@cs.purdue.edu on or before September 13, 2002.
