Call for Tutorials

The 2007 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM'07)

October 28 - 31, 2007. Embassy Suites Hotel, Omaha, NE, USA.
http://www.ist.unomaha.edu/icdm2007/

The IEEE International Conference on Data Mining series (ICDM)
provides an international forum for presentation of original research
results, as well as exchange and dissemination of innovative,
practical development experiences. The conference covers all aspects
of data mining, including algorithms, software and systems, and
applications. In addition, ICDM draws researchers and application
developers from a wide range of data mining related areas such as
statistics, machine learning, pattern recognition, databases and data
warehousing, data visualization, knowledge-based systems, and high
performance computing. ICDM'07 will be the seventh edition of the
series. Please visit http://www.ist.unomaha.edu/icdm2007/ for more
information about the conference.

ICDM'07 will host tutorials covering topics in data mining of interest
to the research community as well as application developers. The
tutorials will be part of the main conference technical program, and
are free of charge to the attendees of the conference.

We invite proposals for tutorials from active researchers and
experienced tutors. Ideally, a tutorial will cover the
state-of-the-art research, development and applications in a specific
data mining direction, and stimulate and facilitate future work. A
tutorial should not mainly focus on only the presenters' previous
work. Tutorials on interdisciplinary directions, novel and fast
growing directions, and significant applications are highly
encouraged.

A tutorial proposal should be formatted in the following sections.

1. Title

2. Abstract (up to 150 words)

3. Rationale of presenting the tutorial at ICDM'07 (up to 200 words)

4. Target audience and prerequisites (up to 50 words)

5. A list of forums and their time and locations if the tutorial or a
similar/highly related tutorial has been presented by the same
author(s) before, and highlight the similarity/difference between
those and the one proposed for ICDM'07 (up to 100 words for each
entry)

6. A list of tutorials on the same/similar/highly related topics given
by other people, and highlight the difference between yours and theirs
(up to 100 words for each entry)

7. A list of other tutorials given by the authors, please list the
titles, the presenters and the forums only.

8. Tutors' short bio and their expertise related to the tutorial (up
to 100 words per tutor)

9. An outline of the tutorial in the form of a bullet list (up to 1 page)

10. Length of the tutorial: short (1.5-2 hours) or long (3-4 hours).
If you are flexible, please indicate in the outline the content that
will not be included if a short tutorial is given.

11. A list of up to 20 most important references that will be covered
in the tutorial

12. (Optional) URLs of the slides/notes of the previous tutorials
given by the authors, and any specific audio/vedio/computer
requirements for the tutorial

Please kindly send your proposals to Jian Pei (ICDMTutorial@gmail.com)
on or before July 13th, 2007. The selection will be made by the
tutorial program committee whose voting members are

   Ramamohanarao Kotagiri, the University of Melbourne, Australia
   Jiawei Han, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
   Heikki Mannila, University of Helsinki, Finland
   Raymond Ng, University of British Columbia, Canada
