Electronic Paper Submission - Mar. 1, 2002 Submission Format : Camera-Ready (no more than 10 pages)
Electronic Submission only

In the past few years, the ACM SIGKDD conference has established itself as one of the premier conferences on knowledge discovery and data mining. To continue with this tradition, the eighth ACM SIGKDD conference will provide a forum for the academic researchers and industry practitioners to share their research and experience. The conference will be co-located with AAAI. It will feature keynote presentations, plenary paper presentations, poster presentations, tutorials, workshops, panels, as well as the KDD Cup competition.

Papers on all aspects of knowledge discovery are solicited. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Data Mining Biomedical Domains | Novel Data Mining algorithms
Data Mining with Constraints | Preprocessing and Postprocessing
Data Mining and Data Warehousing | for Data Mining
Data Mining and the Internet | Robust and Scalable Statistical
Data and Result Visualization | Methods
Foundations of Data Mining | Security and Privacy Issues
Mining High Dimensional Data | Temporal Data Mining
Interactive and Online Mining | Text Data Mining
KDD Framework and Process |

Both research track and industry track papers are solicited. All papers will be judged based on their technical merits, relevance to KDD, and presentation clarity. Because the number of submissions is expected to be high, the conference will have two parallel tracks on research papers, thereby increasing the number of papers to be accepted and presented in the conference.

Important Dates:

Deadlines are for both Research and Industrial tracks

Submission Guidelines:

Abstracts must be submitted electronically at the paper submission web site on or before 6pm PST Feb. 22, 2002. An abstract must not contain more than 250 words. No paper will be considered without having the abstract submitted in time.

Full papers must be submitted electronically at the paper submission web site on or before 6pm PST March 1, 2002. Authors are required to submit a version of their full papers in camera-ready format. As such, the formating instructions are identical to the SIGKDD conference paper instructions (http://www.acm.org/sigkdd/kdd2002/). Papers should be no more than 10 pages, single spaced, in no smaller than 10 point font with 1 inch margins (left, right, top, bottom.) This page limit is inclusive of all references. Appendices can be attached and not counted towards the page limit. But appendices may not be read by the referees. The program committee will strictly enforce the page limit.

All papers must be submitted in either PDF, postscript or MS Word format. However, PDF is the preferred submission format. It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the submitted papers print correctly on a variety of printers. If any special fonts are used, they must be included in the submission. Finally, all papers must be original, and have not been submitted elsewhere.

Best Paper Awards: The KDD-2002 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.
