INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MACHINE LEARNING 2004
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
In the summer of 2004, the International Conference on Machine Learning
will be held. The purpose of this call is to invite groups interested
in hosting the conference to submit proposals. The group selected to
host the conference will work with a Program Chair and/or Conference
Chair chosen by the Board of the International Machine Learning Society
(IMLS).
Proposals should address the following issues:
1. Proposed Dates. The conference should be scheduled for four days
(one day reserved for workshops and tutorials; three days for paper
sessions, poster sessions, and invited talks). The conference
prefers dates in the range from June 15 to July 15, but other dates
will be considered, particularly if they permit co-location with
other conferences.
2. Locale Parameters.
- Accessibility. Is it easy and inexpensive for people (especially
graduate students) to travel to the conference site? (Compute
mean airfares from Europe, North America, and Asia. Include ground
transportation from relevant airports to the site.)
- Meeting Rooms, AV Equiment, etc. What are the physical facilities
like? Consider rooms for plenary sessions, parallel sessions,
workshops, tutorials, and poster sessions. What are the charges,
if any, for using them?
- Meals and Lodging. Is there low-cost, quality housing available
for attendees (especially graduate students)? How far from the
meeting rooms? Where will attendees eat? Please estimate costs
for meals and lodging.
- Demo facilities. Will there be computing equipment and space
available to support demos?
- Internet access. Is wired or wireless internet access available?
At what cost?
- Other features. You may mention any other aspects of the site or
the region that are relevant.
3. Local Machine Learning Community. Is there a local ML
group/community that can help with organization and funding?
4. Opportunities to co-locate with other conferences.
5. Organizational and Institutional Support. Is there a conference
office that can help with local arrangements?
Proposals (postscript or PDF) should be sent before August 4 to
Tom Dietterich, President IMLS
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Proposals will be ranked according to cost and accessibility,
proposed dates, opportunities for co-location, attractiveness of the
location, and experience of the host group.

Workshop on "Knowledge Grid and Grid Intelligence"
October 13, 2003, Halifax, Canada
http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/~william/KGGI03/index.html
In conjunction with 2003 IEEE/WIC International Conference on
Web Intelligence / Intelligent Agent Technology
http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/WI03
http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/IAT03
The Grid Computing has evolved from the earlier days of merely sharing
distributed resources for solving big computational tasks to the
latest trend of developing the Grid as a service-oriented architecture
to support transparent and reliable distributed systems
integration. Thanks to its recent marriage with Web Services and the
Semantic Web. While the Semantic Web + Web Services emphasizes on the
interoperability of different on-line systems, the Grid complements it
by providing the infrastructure to handle large-scale distributed
enterprises information systems.
We envision that the success of using the Grid for distributed system
integration will reply on how to have the resources of the Grid, with
its increasing scale and complexity, well managed. ``Grid
intelligence'' refers to a newly emerging research field focusing on
how the data and information available on different levels of Grid
services (e.g., HTML/XML/RDF/... documents, hyperlinks, Web usage,
service response time, service quality, ...) can be carefully
acquired, preprocessed, represented, interchanged, integrated and
eventually converted into unique intelligences (knowledge) -- to
enhance the overall Grid performance. Related research issues include
intelligent mechanisms for resource specification, discovery,
brokering/matchmaking, scheduling, negotiation, etc. Agent-based
technologies address the autonomy, socialablity, adaptability and
goal-driven properties of software systems and thus provide the most
suitable computing paradigm for the dynamically changing Grid
environment.
As higher-level knowledge is going to play a more important role in
the future Grid applications (e.g., e-science, e-business), issues
related to knowledge representation, discovery, integration,
interchange of different types of media in a distributed environment
have to be carefully addressed. Related Web intelligence techniques
including data mining and knowledge discovery, text and multimedia
content analysis, semantic information extraction and integration,
ontology engineering, etc. can be applied. We believe that eventually
the Data Grid and Computational Grid can integrated with the
"Knowledge Grid", making a lot of used-to-be complicated and
computationally expensive tasks truly just-in-time and on-demand.
Some related areas are listed as but not limited to:
- Web intelligence solutions for knowledge grids
- Data/Information/Knowledge Grids integration, mediation and middleware
- Knowledge representation and ontology learning
- Data mining and knowledge discovery in distributed datasets
- Text and multimedia content analysis and indexing
- Semantic Web mining and metadata generation
- Semantically interoperable Web services
- Knowledge management in Grid environment
- Agent-based Workflow systems
- Applications in e.g., e-science (computation, visualization),
e-business (distributed system integration)
- Agent architectures on and for the Grid
- Agent decision making model
- Self-organizing systems and emergent organization
- Distributed problem solving on the grids
- Distributed coordination
- Collective, self-organized intelligence
- Modeling and characterization of agent dynamics
- Coalition formation
- Conflicts, conflict resolution and negotiation
- Grid service and policy semantics and ontologies
- Grid service creation, advertisement, registration,
contract creation, delivery
- Robust/automonic/self-organized mechanisms for Grid service
discovery, matchmaking, scheduling and resource management
- Computational economy
- Online negotiation of access to Grid services
- Grid service usage policy management and enforcement

SDM 2004: CALL FOR TUTORIALS
The SIAM Data Mining (SDM04) Organizing Committee invites proposals
for tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference. Tutorials
are an effective way to educate and/or provide the necessary
background to the intended audience enabling them to understand
technical advances. For SDM04, we are seeking proposals for tutorials
on all topics related to data mining. A tutorial may be a
theme-oriented comprehensive survey, discuss novel data mining
techniques or may center around successful and timely application of
data mining in important application areas (e.g. medicine, national
security, scientific data analysis). For examples of typical SIAM
tutorials, see the set of accepted tutorials at previous SIAM
conferences (SDM01, SDM02 and SDM03).
Tutorials are open to all conference attendees without any extra
fees. The typical tutorial will be 2 hrs long (longer tutorials will
be considered), and held in parallel with two paper presentation
tracks during the main conference program. This format encourages
participation. Previous SDM conference attracted 50 to 100 attendees
per tutorial.
