======================================================================
Dear Researchers & Practitioners!
You are invited to participate in the 2007 International Conference on Data Mining!
DMIN'07 is an international conference held simultaneously with 23 other joint conferences as part
of WORLDCOMP'07, The 2007 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied
Computing. WORLDCOMP'07 is the largest annual gathering of researchers in computer science,
computer engineering and applied computing.
The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and
symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. The main
goal is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas in a number of research areas that interact. The
model used to form these annual conferences facilitates communication among researchers in
different fields of computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. Both inward
research (core areas of computer science and engineering) and outward research
(multi-disciplinary, inter- disciplinary, and applications) will be covered during the
conferences.
Each of the joint conferences in WORLDCOMP'07 is a premier conference for presenting advances in
their respective fields (for the complete list of joint conferences please see www.dmin-2007.com).
The last Joint Conferences (WORLDCOMP'06) attracted over 1,700 researchers and practitioners from
78 countries. It is anticipated that The WORLDCOMP'07 will attract about 2000 participants. The
WORLDCOMP'07 is composed of 24 (planned) major conferences - attendees will have full access to
all 24 conferences' sessions, tracks, and tutorials (planned). Each event is the premier
conference for presentation of advances in their respective subjects. All conferences will be held
simultaneously (same location and dates: June 25-28, 2007, Las Vegas, USA).
You are invited to submit a draft paper via our website www.dmin-2007.com. All accepted papers
will be published in the respective conference proceedings. The names of technical
session/workshop organizers/chairs will appear on the cover of the proceedings/books as Associate
Editors.

take general interest and presentation stronger into consideration.
DRAFT PAPER
We welcome all contributions through theoretical research papers and industrial reports and case
studies on applications in form of regular research papers of 7 pages IEEE style. In addition, we
welcome student research proposals as short papers of 4 pages plus plenary presentations to
receive guidance from established experts, online demonstrations of prototype software systems of
1 page and presentation in informal poster sessions. Accepted submissions include:
- regular research papers (max. 7 pages IEEE style, formal presentation)
- regular industry & application reports (max. 7 pages IEEE style, formal presentation)
- short research papers (max. 4 pages IEEE style, poster presentation)
- short industry & application reports (max. 4 pages IEEE style, poster presentation)
- student research proposals (max. 4 pages IEEE style, formal presentation)
- posters (max. 1 page IEEE style, poster presentation)
Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper (between 1 to 7 pages, standard 2
column IEEE style) via our online submission system by Feb. 20, 2007. Online submissions of
PDF-files via the conference management system are encouraged. For all other forms of submission
please contact the conference organisers.
CAMERA READY PAPERS
The length of the accepted camera ready papers will be limited to 7 IEEE style pages. Standard
IEEE templates & typing instructions, copyright forms, conference registration forms etc. will be
supplied upon acceptance. After the conference, selected papers will be considered for publication
in appropriate journals and special issues. All conference proceedings are considered for
inclusion in major database indexes that are designed to provide easy access to the current
literature of the sciences (e.g.: ISI Thomson Scientific, INSPEC ...). Presentation time and form
will be limited to 15 minutes plus 5 minutes discussion depending on the submission category.

CONFERENCE FEES
Non-Students: USD 545
Full-Time Student: USD 395
The fee includes: books & 4 breakfasts & 12 refreshment breaks & one formal dinner & booklets &
CDs & access to all tutorial sessions & access to all sessions of all conferences. Last year we
were also able to sponsor free drinks receptions on 5 evenings of the conference for DMIN
attendees, a sponsored student dinner and a farewell reception with free drinks!
CONFERENCE VENUE
The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort, L.a.s.V.e.g.a.s., Nevada, USA (with any
overflows at other near-by hotels). The Monte Carlo is a mega hotel with excellent conference
facilities and over 3,000 rooms, with extensive recreational attractions, including: waterfalls,
spa, pools & kiddie pools, sunning decks, easy river water ride, wave pool with cascades, lighted
tennis courts, health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool, sauna, ...), nightly shows, snack
bars, a number of restaurants, shopping area, bars etc. (most are open 24 hours a day and suitable
