Call for Papers
International Workshop on Data Mining and Electronic Business: Practice and
Experience (DaMeB2001)
(http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/awkng/dameb2001.htm) 

in conjunction with

The Fifth Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
(PAKDD-01)
(http://www.csis.hku.hk/pakdd01/) 

April 16-18, 2001
Kowloon, Hong Kong

Objectives

With features like huge amount of data in electronic form that is
actionable for discovered knowledge, and measurable for return on
investment, electronic business has been touted as the killer domain
for data mining. To take advantage of this inherent synergy, it is
well recognized that data mining must be integrated into e-business
systems. An integrated solution provides users with a uniform
environment and seamless access to discovered knowledge.

This workshop aims to foster interaction between researchers and
practitioners in the data mining and electronic business
communities. It seeks to present successful practice and experiences
on integrating data mining to any or all aspects of electronic
business. Research contributions in data mining/e-business as well as
integration of the two with a practical-orientation will also be
solicited.  There are many forums dedicated to general data mining or
electronic business.  However, to the best of our knowledge, there has
been no single forum dedicated to practice and experience in
integrating data mining and eletronic business. It is timely that an
opportunity for both researchers and practitioners be created. We
believe the workshop will be informative and educational. More
research and application activities could be stimulated.

We invite papers that are relevant, but not limited to the following areas
of interest:
* Data mining functionality in e-business
* E-business solution based on data mining
* Knowledge intensive e-business
* Case studies of data mining and e-business
* Knowledge management in e-business
* Mining e-business data and Web
