The 13th European Conference on Machine Learning (ECML) and the 6th
European Conference on Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in
Databases (PKDD) will be co-located in Helsinki, Finland, in August
2002.  Co-ordination of the two conferences provides ample opportunities
for cross-fertilization between the two areas, and follows the success
of jointly organized ECML/PKDD in 2001.

ECML Call for Papers

The European Conference on Machine Learning series is intended to
provide an international forum for the discussion of the latest high
quality research results in machine learning and is the major European
scientific event in the field.  Submissions are invited that describe
empirical and theoretical research in all areas of machine learning.
Submissions of papers that describe the application of machine learning
methods to real-world problems are encouraged.

PKDD Call for Papers

Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) is a combination
of many research areas: databases, statistics, machine learning,
automated scientific discovery, inductive logic programming, artificial
intelligence, visualization, decision science, and high performance
computing.  While each of these areas can contribute in specific ways,
KDD focuses on the value that is added by creative combination of the
contributing areas.  The goal of PKDD is to provide a forum for
interaction among all theoreticians and practitioners interested in data
mining.
