Industrial/Government Applications Papers

Areas of Interest:

The Industrial/Government Applications Track of the Twelfth ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD-2006) will highlight successful applications of KDD technology; explore issues, methods, and lessons learned in the development and deployment of KDD applications; and promote the exchange of ideas between the foundations and applications of data mining.

The KDD-2006 Industrial/Government Applications (I/GA) Track seeks to: (1) provide a forum for exchanging ideas between KDD practitioners, researchers, companies, and government organizations; and (2) help commercial and government organizations understand successful KDD applications.

The I/G Applications Track solicits papers from practitioners and companies that have KDD products and solutions relevant to commercial or government challenges.

The primary emphasis is on papers that contribute to the advancement of understanding of practical, applied, or pragmatic issues in real applications of KDD. Applications can be in any field including scientific, engineering, commercial, governmental, social, or political.

We envision submissions along four sub-areas:

• Emerging applications, technology, and issues;
• Deployed KDD case studies; and
• Product and experience descriptions; and
• Pragmatic issues and considerations in fielding real applications.

CALL FOR PANELS

The KDD-2006 organizing committee invites proposals for panels to be held in the conference. Heated discussions and debates on certain emerging topics and controversial issues on the panels will be essential to making the KDD 2006 conference an exciting experience. Panel proposals are expected to address new, exciting, and controversial issues. They should be provocative, informative, and entertaining. We encourage submission of proposals on emerging themes of research in KDD that may likely to have long-term impact and on commonly concerned and debatable issues in the KDD community.

Panels Chair: Jiawei Han, U. Illinois Urbana Champaign
