The combined event will comprise presentations of contributed papers and invited speakers, a wide program of workshops, tutorials, and a discovery challenge, and last but not least a demo session. The Demo Session is reserved to innovative applications or successful experiences/prototypes in applying the Knowledge Discovery Process to practical cases. Also, are solicited demonstrations of prototypes/systems which show the integration of new Data Mining and Machine Learning technologies, advances using complex data structures and databases, XML-data, multimedia, expert systems in innovative application domains, such as bioinformatics, medical domains, WEB, e-commerce, etc. Demonstration proposals should give a short description of the demonstrated system, explain what is going to be demonstrated, and state the significance of the contribution to the field of Machine Learning and Knowledge Discovery in Databases. Important for the participants, in addition to the description of technical functionalities, will be to provide also performance results and quality measures (on standard benchmarks in the field and comparative examples). Short papers describing demos will appear in the Proceedings. Demonstration proposals must be no more than three (3) pages, in English and should be formatted according to the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science guidelines. Authors instructions and style files can be downloaded at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The deadline for submitting proposals is May 15, 2004.
