The Fourteenth ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge
Discovery and Data Mining (KDD-08)
Call for Research Papers
August 24 - 27, 2008, Las Vegas, USA

(see also call for Industry/Government Application Papers, Workshops, Panels, Tutorials at www.kdd.org/kdd2008/ and elsewhere in this issue)
###### Please Take Note of the REPEATABILITY Guideline ######
The annual ACM SIGKDD conference is the premier international
forum for data mining researchers and practitioners from
academia, industry, and government to share their ideas,
research results and experiences. KDD-08 will feature keynote
presentations, oral paper presentations, poster sessions,
workshops, tutorials, panels, exhibits, demonstrations, and
the KDD Cup competition.
We invite research submissions on all aspects of knowledge
discovery and data mining overlapping with topics from
machine learning, statistics, databases, and pattern recognition.
Papers are expected to describe innovative ideas and solutions
that are scientifically evaluated and well-presented.
Submissions that describe minor variations of existing
methods or only make small or questionable improvements
to existing algorithms are discouraged.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Data mining algorithms
- Data mining foundations
- High performance and parallel/distributed data mining
- Innovative data mining applications in bio-medicine, business,
engineering, science, defense, manufacturing, and others.
- Data mining systems
- KDD framework and process
- Mining stream data and sensor data
- Mining multi-media data
- Mining social networks and graph data
- Mining spatial and temporal data
- Mining text, Web and semi-structured data
- Pre-processing and post-processing in data mining
- Robust and scalable statistical methods
- Security, privacy, and adversarial data mining
- Visual data mining and data visualization
Important Dates:
- Electronic abstract submission: February 23, 2008
- Electronic paper submission (10 pages): February 29, 2008
- Author notification: May 25, 2008
- Conference dates: August 24-27, 2008
All submitted papers will be judged based on their technical
merit, originality, rigor, significance, relevance, and
clarity. Papers submitted to KDD-08 should be original work,
not previously published in a peer-reviewed conference or
journal. Papers substantially similar to papers submitted
to KDD-08 should not be under review in another peer-reviewed
conference or journal during the KDD-08 reviewing period.
REPEATABILITY Guideline
As the SIGKDD conference enters its fourteenth year of
existence, we need to take steps to ensure the long term
viability of the research output of this community. A basic
requirement is to enable the careful scrutiny and
repeatability of evaluation results reported in a paper.
Experimental results in submitted papers should be accompanied
with all relevant implementation details and exact parameter
specifications. Reviewers will be encouraged to downgrade
ratings of papers that do not meet this guideline. Datasets
used in the experiments should be made publicly available,
whenever possible. When you must use proprietary datasets,
please make every effort to supplement your results with
those from closely matching synthetic datasets or other
public datasets.
Detailed submission instructions will be provided on the
conference submission website. All submissions will be
handled electronically.
