During the past years, the ACM SIGKDD conference has established itself as the premier international conference on knowledge discovery and data mining with an attendance of 600-900 people. To continue with this tradition, the eleventh ACM SIGKDD conference will provide a forum for researchers from academia, industry, and government, developers, practitioners, and the data mining user community to share their research and experience. The SIGKDD conference will feature keynote presentations, oral paper presentations, poster presentations, workshops, tutorials, exhibits, and panels, as well as the KDD Cup competition. Papers on all aspects of knowledge discovery and data mining are solicited.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Applications of data mining (biomedical, e-commerce, defense)
• Data and result visualization
• Data mining and data warehousing
• Data mining for community generation, social network analysis, and graph-structured data
• Foundations of data mining
• KDD framework and process
• Mining data streams
• Mining high-dimensional data
• Mining text and semi-structured data
• Multi-media data mining
• Novel data mining algorithms
• Spatial and temporal data mining
• Security and privacy issues
• Interactive and online data mining
• Pre-processing and post-processing for data mining
• Robust and scalable statistical methods

The KDD-2005 Best Paper awards recognize the best paper in two categories: fundamental research and applications/applied research.

KDD-2005 will also award scholarships to selected students to help defray the cost of participating in the conference. Details will appear on the conference Web site.
