             Hard Copy of full paper: March 3, 2000
    Electronic abstract for electronic submission: Feb 28, 2000
      Electronic submission of full paper: Feb 29-Mar 3, 2000

Research Papers:

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit research papers on any
topics of relevance to knowledge discovery and data mining. In
addition to fundamental research, we solicit papers fostering
cross-fertilization and interdisciplinary integration, as well as
papers that describe significant experiences and implementation
lessons.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

KDD Techniques:                    Mining Enterprise Databases:
---------------------------        -----------------------------------
New KDD algorithms                 Scalable algorithms
Mining the Web                     Data cleaning/noisy data
Mining text/multimedia data        Unification of mining with querying
Incremental algorithms             Database architectures for KDD
High-dimensional data              Database primitives for KDD
Background knowledge               Distributed architectures for KDD
Combining multiple models          Integration: mining/warehouse/OLAP

Implementation and Applications:   Human Interaction and the KDD
                                   Process
--------------------------------   ------------------------------------
Implementation & use of KDD        Data and knowledge visualization,
  systems                           and visualization of large, high-
Data mining and e-commerce          dimensional data
Data mining and privacy issues     Evaluating knowledge and potential
Vertical applications               discoveries
Case studies: success/failure      Interactive exploration
Benchmarks


How to Submit Research Papers -- see
http://www.acm.org/sigkdd/kdd2000.

Awards:
Best Paper Awards: The KDD-2000 Best Papers Awards recognize the best
paper in two categories: fundamental research and applications/applied
research.  Fundamental research papers are judged by the significance
and originality of their contribution.  Application/applied research
papers are judged by the practical impact and current or potential
usefulness of the work.  In both categories, the clarity and quality
of presentation are also considered.

Student Travel Awards: SIGKDD, AAAI, SIGMOD and SIGART are sponsoring
student travel awards to KDD-2000, August 20-23, 2000, Boston, MA.
