Overview

The KDD-2004 organizing committee invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference. The purpose of a workshop is to provide participants with the opportunity to present and discuss novel research ideas on active and emerging topics of knowledge discovery and data mining. A workshop should also support the interaction and feedback among topic specialists from academia, industry and government.

The organizers of approved workshops are required to announce the workshop and call for papers, gather submissions, conduct the reviewing process and decide upon the final workshop program. They must also prepare an informal set of workshop proceedings to be distributed with the registration materials at the conference. They may choose to form organizing or program committees for assistance in these tasks.

Proposal Details

Proposals should be no more than three pages in length and must include the following:

• Description of the workshop topic and the associated research issues
• Reasons why an ACM SIGKDD workshop on this topic should take place
• Description of the anticipated target group(s) of attendees
• Contact information (address, email, phone) for all organizers, and specification of a designated primary contact person

The organizers are encouraged to provide the following additional information if possible:

• A preliminary list of reviewers
• A list of potential authors
• A list of potential attendees
