IMPORTANT DATES:
Workshop proposals due: March 7, 2003
Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 28, 2003

The KDD-2003 organizing committee invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference. The purpose of these workshops is to provide participants with the opportunity to discuss novel research ideas on emerging topics in the data-mining community. A varied and topical set of workshops is essential to making the KDD 2003 conference an exciting experience. We encourage submission of proposals in emerging areas of research, but well chosen topics in more traditional areas are also of interest. The organizers of approved workshops are expected to define the workshop's focus, gather and review submissions, and decide upon final program content. They are also required to put together an informal set of workshop proceedings which will be distributed with the registration materials at the conference. They may choose to form organizing or program committees for assistance in these tasks.

PROPOSAL DETAILS

Proposals should be no more than four pages in length, and should include the following:

1. Topic and research issues to be discussed in the workshop. 2. Reasons why a workshop should be organized on this topic. 3. Contact information (address, email, phone) for all organizers, and a designated primary contact. 4. List of potential reviewers (if possible). 5. Expected number of participants and duration (full day or half day).

Proposers are encouraged to have their drafts reviewed by potential workshop participants before submission.

Workshop proposals should be sent by e-mail to the Workshops Chair, Charu C. Aggarwal (charu@us.ibm.com), by the submission deadline of March 7, 2003. All submissions must use PDF format.
