Some words about the SIGKDD newsletter:
--------------------------------------
SIGKDD Explorations is a bi-annual newsletter dedicated to
serve the SIGKDD membership and community.
Our goal is to make SIGKDD Newsletter a very informative, rapid
publication, and interesting forum for communicating with SIGKDD community.
Submissions will be reviewed by the editor and/or associate editors
as apporpriate. The distribution will be very wide (on the web, to
all members but probably not restricted access the first year, and to
ACM's world-wide network of libraries. Members get e-mail notifications
of new issues and get hardcopies if they desire).
