About KDD-2000

The continuing rapid growth of on-line data and the widespread use of databases have created a need and an opportunity for extracting useful knowledge from databases and making database access easier and more convenient.  This conference will bring together researchers and practitioners and focus on new developments in Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining.  The challenge of extracting knowledge from data is an are of common interest to researchers in several fields, including statistics, databases, pattern recognition, machine learning, data visualization, optimization and high-performance computing.

The Sixth ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD-2000) will follow on the success of previous KDD conferences, most recently the KDD-99 conference. Starting with KDD-2000, all future conferences in this series will be held as the annual conference of the newly formed ACM Special Interest Group on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (SIGKDD).

The technical program in KDD-2000 will consist of high quality research papers, complemented by: 

Industrial Track Presentations:

will focus on industrial practice and experience in KDD and will provide an excellent opportunity for researchers and industrial practitioners to interact and spur development of new research directions that are of possible high impact for the KDD industry.

Tutorials:
This highly popular track will provide a solid tutorial program at no extra cost to conference registrants. Tutorials are a great way to get acquainted with various KDD themes and Data Mining techniques.

Panels:
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 a few 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.
