Call for papers: AusDM Doctoral Consortium

> Call For Papers - Doctoral Consortium - Australasian Data Mining
> Conference 2008
>
> Data mining is the art and science of intelligent analysis of data sets
> for meaningful insights. It is currently applied in many industries,
> including business, financial services, biology and medicine, science and
> engineering. The Australasian Data Mining Conference is the premier
> Australasian Conference for researchers and industry professionals in
> data mining. This year the conference will be held in Glenelg, Adelaide,
> South Australia on the 27-28 November 2008. See
> http://ausdm08.togaware.com/
>
> For the first time, AusDM will organise a Doctoral Consortium aimed at
> PhD students in the first 12 to 18 months of their candidature to argue
> the direction of their thesis. There will be a panel of researchers at
> the consortium to discuss the work and to provide input on the
> directions. Students at the consortium will gain the opportunity to
> present their work and to get into contact with other researchers and
> data mining postgraduate students.
>
> We are calling on students to submit an extended abstract of up to 4
> pages for the consortium. In addition, students are encouraged to submit
> a full review paper on the literature related to their thesis. A
> selection of revised review papers will be included in the "Review of
> Data Mining" book planned to be published with Springer.
>
> Extended abstracts should clearly describe the goals of the PhD research,
> related work and results to date. Review papers should be formatted in
> the general format specied for papers in the CRPIT series by the
> Australian Computer Society. Details are available from
> http://crpit.com/Authors.html . LaTeX styles and Word templates may be
> found on this site. LaTeX is the suggested typesetting package.
