KDD-2003
THE NINTH ACM SIGKDD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY AND DATA MINING
August 24-27, 2003
Washington, DC, USA
http://www.acm.org/sigkdd/kdd2003
Tutorials Chair:

IMPORTANT DATES:
Tutorial proposals due: March 7, 2003
Notification of acceptance/rejection: April 7, 2003
Camera-ready copy of tutorial notes due: June 6, 2003
The KDD-2003 organizing committee invites proposals for tutorials to
be held in conjunction with the conference. Tutorials are an effective
way to educate conference attendees about specific topics, or to
provide background necessary to understand technical advances.
For KDD-2003, we are seeking proposals for tutorials of 2.5 to 3 hours in
duration. For examples of typical KDD tutorials, see the set of accepted
tutorials at KDD-2002 (http://www.acm.org/sigkdd/kdd2002/tutorials.html )
or KDD-2001 (http://www.acm.org/sigkdd/kdd2001/Tutorials/tutorials.html ).
Proposals should be submitted electronically by March 7th to
srikant@us.ibm.com in PDF (preferred), Postscript, or Microsoft
Word. Proposals should include the following:
- Basic information: Title, brief description, name and contact
information for each tutor, length of the proposed tutorial.
Also identify any other venues in which the tutorial has been
or will be presented.
- Audience: Proposals must clearly identify the intended audience for
the tutorial (e.g., novice users of statistical techniques, or
expert researchers in text mining). What background will be
required of the audience? Why is this topic important/interesting
to the KDD community? What is the benefit to participants? Provide
some informal evidence that people would attend (e.g., related
workshops).
- Coverage: Enough material should be included to provide a sense of
both the scope of material to be covered and the depth to which it
will be covered. The more details that can be provided, the better
(up to and including links to the actual slides). Note that the
tutors should NOT focus mainly on their own research results.
A KDD tutorial is not a forum for promoting one's research or
product. If, for certain parts of the tutorial, the material comes
directly from the tutors' own research or product, please indicate
this in the proposal.
- Bios: Brief biographical information on each tutor (including
qualifications with respect to the tutorial's topic).
- Special equipment (if any): Please indicate any additional equipment
needed (if any). The standard equipment includes a LCD projector,
an overhead projector, a single projection screen and cordless
microphones.
For further information, please contact Ramakrishnan Srikant
(srikant@us.ibm.com).
