Subject: KDD-09: Industrial/Government Applications Papers, due Feb 6, 2009
KDD-2009: The Fifteenth ACM SIGKDD International Conference
on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD'09)
June 28 - July 1, 2009. Paris, France
www.kdd.org/kdd2009/
The Industrial/Government Applications Track of the 15th ACM SIGKDD
International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
(KDD-2009) will highlight challenges, lessons, and research
issues arising out of deploying applications of KDD technology. The
focus is on promoting the exchange of ideas between researchers and
practitioners of data mining.
The KDD-2009 Industrial/Government Applications (I/G) Track seeks to:
- provide a forum for exchanging ideas between KDD practitioners,
researchers, companies, and government organizations;
- help commercial and government organizations highlight successful
KDD applications;
- raise interesting (research) challenges and other concerns more
specific to industry and government -- customer privacy issues,
analysis of data not generally available in academia, issues of
scale that arise more heavily in a corporate setting, etc.
The I/G Applications Track solicits papers describing implementations of
KDD solutions relevant to commercial or government settings. The primary
emphasis is on papers that advance our understanding of practical,
applied, or pragmatic issues and highlight new research challenges in
real KDD applications. Applications can be in any field including, but
not limited to: e-commerce, medical and pharmaceutical, defense, public
policy, engineering, manufacturing, telecommunications, and government.
Being held in Europe for the first time, we enthusiastically seek
contributions from European authors and on European projects.
The I/G Applications Track will consist of competitively-selected
contributed papers - presented in oral and/or poster form - as well as
invited talks. We envision submissions along four sub-areas:
- Emerging applications and technology
- Deployed KDD case studies
- Comparative studies of KDD technology
- Pragmatic issues and research considerations in fielding real applications.
Emerging application and technology papers discuss prototype
applications, tools for focused domains or tasks, useful techniques or
methods, useful system architectures, scalability enablers, tool
evaluations, or integration of KDD and other technologies. Case studies
describe deployed projects with measurable benefits that include KDD
technology. Such papers need to demonstrate the importance and general
impact of the work clearly. Comparative studies compare and contrast KDD
technologies using specific examples (without being a product
advertisement). Pragmatic issues and considerations include important
practical and research considerations, approaches, and architectures
that enable successful applications.
Submitters are encouraged (but not required) to select one (or more) of
these sub-areas for their papers. In their submission, authors are
required to explain why the application is important, the specific need
for KDD technology to solve the problem (including why other methods
perhaps not based on data mining may fall short), and any
innovations or lessons learned in the solution.
KDD 2009 will also feature keynote presentations, a research track,
workshops, tutorials, and the KDD Cup competition. For more
