> The Program Committee of the 8th IEEE International Conference on Data
> Mining (ICDM '08) invites proposals for Workshops. The Workshops will be
> held on December 15 and 19, 2008, the first and last ICDM Conference days.
>
> The workshop organizers will be responsible for advertising the workshop,
> forming the program committees, reviewing and selecting the papers, and
> guaranteeing high quality worthy of the prestige and range of the
> Conference.
> All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the Workshop
> Proceedings
> published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be available at the
>
> workshops.
>
> The workshop organizers will also have the discretion of editing selected
> papers (after their expansion and revision) into books or special journal
> issues. Workshops may be full-day or half-day. A full-day workshop should
> select 12-16 regular papers, while a half-day workshop should select 6-8
> regular papers, from a large number of submissions.
> A "forward to workshops" mechanism will be adopted this year,
> where a paper not accepted for the conference can be (at the author's
> request)
> "fast-tracked" to a workshop, preserving reviews. The workshop organizer
> could take this into consideration in paper selection; they are free to
> combine this with workshop-specific reviews and also free in their
> weighting
>
> of the conference reviews. The workshop organizers should ensure the
> presence of authors of accepted papers at the workshops.
>
> Each workshop subject will focus on new research challenges and
> initiatives
> in Data Mining. The workshops should provide an informal and vibrant
> forum
> for researchers and industry practitioners to share their research results
> and practical development experiences in the data mining field.
> To further this goal, we specifically encourage workshop proposers to
> employ innovative modes of calls for papers and of interaction during the
> workshop, and to describe these modes in their workshop proposal.
