 The Fifth Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
     (PAKDD-01), Hong Kong, April 16 - 18, 2001
http://www.csis.hku.hk/pakdd01
------------------------------------------------------------------------
  The Fifth Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data
  Mining (PAKDD-01) will be an international forum for the sharing of
  original and innovative research results and practical applications
  and experiences among researchers and application developers from
  the many constituent areas of KDD, including artificial
  intelligence, databases, e-commerce, Internet computing, machine
  learning, high performance computing, statistics and
  visualization. This conference builds on the success of PAKDD-97
  (Singapore), PAKDD-98 (Australia), PAKDD-99 (China) and PAKDD-00
  (Japan) by bringing together participants from universities,
  industry and government.

  With the growing number of successful applications and systems
  development in KDD in enterprise computing and e-commerce the
  conference encourages submissions on practical experiences in
  applying KDD techniques to real-world applications.

SUBMISSION by 12 November 2000

  Conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag (in the
  Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series). All submissions
  should follow the Springer-Verlag guidelines and be no more than 12
