The 15th European Conference on Machine Learning (ECML-04)
and

Knowledge Discovery in Databases (PKDD-04)
20-24 September 2004, Pisa, Italy

JOINT CALL FOR TUTORIALS AND WORKSHOPS
The ECML/PKDD-2004 organizing committee invites proposals for
tutorials and workshops to be held on Monday and Friday, September
20 and 24, immediately preceding and following the main ECML/PKDD-2004
conference. We invite proposals for up to six half-day tutorials
and six full day workshops. Proposals for a workshop/tutorial
combination are also welcome (see below). The scope of the proposal
should be consistent with the conference themes as described in the
ECML/PKDD-2004 Call for Papers (see URL above).
Workshops provide organizers and participants with an opportunity to
discuss current topics in machine learning and/or data mining in a
small and interactive atmosphere. Thus, any topic that is of current
interest to a sufficient number of participants from the two
communities could be the focus of a workshop. Workshops can
concentrate in-depth on research topics, but can also be devoted to
application issues, or to questions concerning the economic and
social aspects of machine learning and data mining.
Tutorials are intended to provide independent instruction on topics
from the field of machine learning or data mining. Introductions to
other research domains that could fertilize the ML/DM field with new
challenges or solutions are also welcome. Each tutorial should
- attract a large enough audience;
- be presented by highly qualified persons with a demonstrable
background and teaching experience in the tutorial area;
- be well-focused, so that its core content can be covered in a 3.5
hour tutorial slot (incl. a 30 minute break);
- be accompanied by comprehensive notes written in clear, standard
English;
- cope with the wide diversity in the audience, or else be accompanied
by a complete list of tutorial prerequisites;
- cover the overall picture, without a bias towards the presenters'
own work;
- be free of commercial or sales-oriented material.
As workshops and tutorials are in a sense complementary, we also
welcome proposals for combined tutorial-workshop events. The general
idea is that the tutorial gives an introduction to the field of the
workshop, making the workshop accessible to a broader audience.
For practical information on the workshops and tutorials, and for
details on the submission procedure, please refer to the detailed call
for workshops and tutorials that is available at
http://ecmlpkdd.isti.cnr.it/.
