________________________________________________________________________

In the past few years, the ACM SIGKDD conference has established itself
as one of the premier conferences on knowledge discovery and data
mining.  To continue with this tradition, the eighth ACM SIGKDD
conference will provide a forum for the academic researchers and
industry practitioners to share their research and experience. The
conference will be co-located with AAAI. It will feature keynote
presentations, plenary paper presentations, poster presentations,
tutorials, workshops, panels, as well as the KDD Cup competition.

Papers on all aspects of knowledge discovery are solicited. Areas of
interest include, but are not limited to:

.Data Mining Biomedical Domains    | .Novel Data Mining algorithms
.Data Mining with Constraints      | .Preproessing and Postprocessing 
.Data Mining and Data Warehousing  |  for Data Mining
.Data Mining and the Internet      | .Robust and Scalable Statistical 
.Data and Result Visualization     |  Methods
.Foundations of Data Mining        | .Security and Privacy Issues
.Mining High Dimensional Data      | .Temporal Data Mining
.Interactive and Online Mining     | .Text Data Mining
.KDD Framework and Process         |

Both research track and industry track papers are solicited. All papers
will be judged based on their technical merits, relevance to KDD, and
presentation clarity. Because the number of submissions is expected
to be high, the conference will have two parallel tracks on research papers,
thereby increasing the number of papers to be accepted and presented
in the conference.

Submission Guidelines:

Abstracts must be submitted electronically at the paper submission
web site on or before 6pm PST Feb. 22, 2002. An abstract must not
contain more than 250 words. No paper will be considered without
having the abstract submitted in time.

Full papers must be submitted electronically at the paper submission
web site on or before 6pm PST March 1, 2002.  Authors are required to 
submit a version of their full papers in camera-ready format. As such, 
the formating instructions are identical to the SIGKDD conference paper 
instructions (http://www.acm.org/sigkdd/kdd2002/). Papers
should be no more than 10 pages, single spaced, in no smaller than 10
point font with 1 inch margins (left, right, top, bottom.)  This page
limit is inclusive of all references.  Appendices can be attached and
not counted towards the page limit. But appendices may not be read by
the referees. The program committee will strictly enforce the page
limit.

All papers must be submitted in either PDF, postscript or MS Word
format. However, PDF is the preferred submission format.
It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the submitted 
papers print correctly on a variety of printers. If any special fonts 
are used, they must be included in the submission. Finally, all papers
must be original, and have not been submitted elsewhere.


Best Paper Awards: The KDD-2002 Best Papers Awards recognize the best
paper in two categories: fundamental research and applications/applied
research.  Fundamental research papers are judged by the significance
and originality of their contribution.  Application/applied research
papers are judged by the practical impact and current or potential
usefulness of the work.  In both categories, the clarity and quality
of presentation are also considered.
