CALL FOR PAPERS: ACM SAC 2004, DATA STREAMS TRACK http://www.lsi.us.es/~aguilar/ds/
ACM SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED COMPUTING, SAC 2004 March 14-17, 2004, Nicosia, Cyprus For the past eighteen years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. SAC 2004 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing, and is hosted by the University of Cyprus in Nicosia, Cyprus. DATA STREAMS TRACK The rapid growth in information science and technology in general and the complexity and volume of data in particular have introduced new challenges for the research community. Databases are growing incessantly and, in many cases, we need to extract some sort of knowledge from this continuous stream of data. The goal of the track is to convene researchers who deal with decision rules, decision trees, association rules, clustering, filtering, pre-processing, post-processing, feature selection, visualization techniques, etc. from data streams. Topics include but are not restricted to: Data Stream Models Clustering from Data Streams Decision Trees from Data Streams Association Rules from Data Streams Decision Rules from Data Streams Feature Selection from Data Streams Visualization Techniques for Data Streams Single-Pass Algorithms Scalable Algorithms Real-Time Applications Real-World Applications GUIDELINES FOR PAPER SUBMISSION The preferred file format is PDF, in which papers' final version must be submitted. Do not compress files in any way. Submit two files: A one-page cover sheet that lists the title of the paper, the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s), and the address (including e-mail address and fax number) to which correspondence should be sent. The paper itself in PDF format, with authors and affiliations omitted. Author names and addresses must not appear in the body of the paper, self-reference must be in the third person, attribution to the author(s) must be in the form of "author", and bibliographical entries by the author(s) must also be in the form of "author". Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process by at least three referees. The conference proceedings will be published by ACM. Hence, all accepted papers should be submitted in ACM 2-column camera ready format for publication in the symposium proceedings. The maximum number of pages allowed for the final papers is 5 pages. There is a set of templates to support the required paper format for a number of document preparation systems at http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2004/submission.html Accepted papers will be published in the annual conference proceedings by ACM and in the Digital Library, and also in DBLP. Please submit papers electronically by e-mail to the track co-chair [EMAIL PROTECTED] (subject: DS-SAC04) Poster Publication of Selected Papers: A set of selected papers, which did not get accepted as full papers, will be accepted as poster papers and will be published as extended 2-page abstracts in the symposium proceedings. ACM SIGKDD Explorations Special Issue: We have plans to invite a selected number of accepted papers for expansion and revision for possible inclusion in the ACM SIGKDD Explorations Vol 6. Issue 1, after additional reviewing. PROGRAM COMMITTEE Dr. Hillol Kargupta, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, US Dr. Philip S.
