DMKD 2001: Workshop on Research Issues in Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/johannes/dmkd2001.htm
               Santa Barbara, CA -- May 20th, 2001

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

The Workshop on Research Issues in Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
(DMKD) was started five years ago to foster discussion and
investigation of data mining research issues pertinent to large
databases and data warehouses. Over these years, data mining as a
discipline has matured considerably. Particularly strong progress has
been made in the design of scalable algorithms that transform the
oceans of bits in very large databases into interpretable patterns and
predictive models.

This year's sixth DMKD workshop is aimed at discussing the next
generation of data mining research, with the goal of bringing together
researchers and experienced practitioners from academia and
industry. The atmosphere of the workshop will be informal, fostering
interaction through short presentations and open discussion of new
research visions and industrial experiences. The workshop is being
held in cooperation with SIGMOD/PODS 2001.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

     New applications of data mining
     Industrial experiences with data mining projects
     Limitation of the current generation of data mining tools
     Intersection of data mining with other disciplines
     Research visions: Where is data mining in 2010?

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers should be no more than six pages. The workshop accepts only
electronic submission of papers in ASCII, HTML, PDF, or PostScript
format to either of the two workshop chairs (bayardo@almaden.ibm.com

informal proceedings made available to the workshop attendees and
online.
