About KDD-99
The continuing rapid growth of on-line data and the widespread use of databases necessitate the development of techniques for extracting useful knowledge and for facilitating database access. The challenge of extracting knowledge from data is of common interest to several fields, including statistics, databases, pattern recognition, machine learning, data visualization, optimization, and high-performance computing. KDD-99 will focus on techniques, applications, and experiences, bringing together researchers and practitioners.

Starting this year, the KDD series will represent the annual conferences of the newly formed SIGKDD--the ACM Special Interest Group on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining.

The technical program in KDD-99 will consist of high quality research papers. 27 papers were accepted for full presentation out of 280 submissions. These are complemented by  25 poster presentations in a paper poster session. In addition, the KDD'99 program features:

Industrial Track Presentations:
These 9 presentations will focus on industrial practice and experience in KDD and will provide an excellent opportunity for researchers and  practitioners to interact and spur development of new research directions that are of possible high impact for the KDD industry.
Tutorials:
KDD-99 will provide a set of 6 tutorials at no extra cost to conference registrants. The tutorials are a great way to quickly get acquainted with various KDD themes and Data Mining techniques.
Panels:
Three Panels will provide opportunities for discussion on topics that concern the KDD community and will address foundational issues as well as issues of practice and applications.
Workshop Program:
The conference will provide a venue for three workshops to focus on advanced research areas of knowledge discovery, and allow interested researchers to gather in relatively small groups for intense and focused interactions.
Demonstrations and Exhibits:
The conference will include demonstrations of knowledge discovery and data mining products, knowledge discovery applications and research prototypes. Exhibits will also be accessible separately from the conference.
