CALL FOR PAPERS
FOURTH SIAM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DATA MINING
Hyatt Orlando Near Walt Disney Resort,
Orlando, Florida, USA, April 22-24, 2004
URL: http//www.siam.org/meetings/sdm04
The field of Data Mining has seen a tremendous increase of interest in
recent months. Applications of Data Mining are mentioned often in the
daily press, especially in the fields of security and forensics. Thus,
these are exciting times for researchers and practitioners in the
area. We hope that the research captured by these proceedings helps in
advancing this important field.
The next SIAM conference will be held in Orlando, FL, April 22-24,
2004. This conference will provide a forum for the presentation of
recent results in data mining, including applications, algorithms,
software, and systems. There will be peer reviewed, contributed papers
as well as invited talks and tutorials. Best paper awards will be
given in different categories. Proceedings of the conference will be
available both online at the SIAM Web site and in hard copy form. In
addition, several workshops on topics of current interest will be held
on the final day of the conference.
Hope to see you in Orlando next year.

CALL FOR PAPERS
SIGKDD Explorations Special Issue on Microarray Data Mining
Guest editors:
Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro (KDnuggets, UMass Lowell),
Pablo Tamayo (MIT Whitehead Institute)
Submission deadline: October 10, 2003.
CFP: http://www.kdnuggets.com/publications/cfp-microarray-data-mining.html
SIGKDD Explorations is the official newsletter of ACM SIGKDD (Special
Interest Group on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining). This special
issue invites submissions which explore analysis and mining of DNA
Microarray data.
Analyzing gene expression data from microarray devices has many
important applications in medicine and biology, but presents
significant challenges to data mining, including
* analyzing data with very many attributes (genes) and relatively few
examples (samples)
* high likelihood of false positives due to chance
* lack of absolute ground truth
* assessing classifier certainty
* abundance of biological knowledge and difficulty of integrating it
* understanding the influence of many steps of data preprocessing on
gene expression data
* complexities of gene interaction
We invite contributions that deal with data mining aspects of
microarray data analysis, including topics mentioned above, and fall
into one of the following areas:
* disease classification/discrimination and outcome prediction
* gene clustering
* analysis of changes over time
* biological knowledge integration in data analysis
* biological knowledge discovery from data
* application descriptions and case studies
* surveys and descriptions of existing software for microarray data
analysis
Submissions should be made to Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro, gps_#_acm.org
(replace _#_ with @) in Microsoft Word or PDF format. Submissions are
expected to be between 5 and 15 pages in length.
More detailed submission instructions at
http://www.acm.org/sigkdd/explorations/instructions.htm
Submissions will be reviewed by the guest editors, external reviewers
and/or associate editors as appropriate.
Important Dates:
Submissions Oct 10, 2003
Reviews due back to authors Nov 10, 2003
Camera-ready due Dec 1, 2003
