KDD-2009: The Fifteenth ACM SIGKDD International Conference
on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
June 28 - July 1, 2009. Paris, France
www.kdd.org/kdd2009/

The KDD-2009 organizing committee invites proposals for panels to be held at the conference. Panel proposals should address emerging, controversial and critical issues in data mining that would likely to have a lasting impact on the field and would also lead to exciting discussions and debates. A mix of industry, academic and government participants is encouraged.

For this year�s conference we are interested in addressing new topics, particularly centered around human issues related to data mining (e.g., privacy, ethics, cultural differences, applications and implications of data mining on end users, etc.).

Proposal Details Panel proposals should be no more than four pages long and should include the following:

• Title of the panel
• The topic and issues to be discussed in the panel
• Name, affiliation, and contact information for the panel organizer
• Names and affiliations of up to four panelists (in addition to the panel organizer) who have made a commitment to participate
• List of 10 questions that the panel organizer will ask the panelists
• Brief biography of each participant

Panel proposals should be sent by e-mail in PDF or ASCII format to the
Panel Chair Alejandro Jaimes (ajaimes AT tid.es)
