@ the 2008 International Conference on Data Mining (DMIN'08)
July 14-17, 2008, Las Vegas, USA
www.dmin-2008.com
===========================================================
Fellow researchers and practitioners!
We invite you to participate in a special session on Data Mining for Time Series Data at DMIN'08, the 2008 International Conference on Data Mininig, using methods of data mining, machine learning, computational intelligence and statistics in applications of time series forecasting, classification and clustering.
The DMIN'08 special sessions will offer
- a set of special sessions on time series forecasting, classification and clustering
- a time series forecasting competition for neural networks and computational intelligence methods
But hurry! The deadline to submit your full papers for the special session is Saturday March 15, 2008.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Special Session Topics
-------------------------------------------------------------------
We invite abstracts related to the theory and practice of forecasting, classification and clustering of time series data using methods from data mining, computational intelligence, machine learning and statistics, including neural networks, support vector machines, decision trees, ensemble methods, hybrid approaches etc. All contributions are welcome describing new techniques, methods and applications in data mining. We strongly encourage submissions from practitioners documenting applications of data mining with time series data in practice.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Forecasting Competition CfP
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to the special session topics, we invite submissions to the NN5 time series forecasting competition (www.neural-forecasting-competition.com) open to neural networks and all methods of computational intelligence. The 2008 NN5 competition focuses on predicting 11 or 111 daily time series of cash money withdrawals at cash machines in England. Submissions to the NN5 competition will also be presented in special sessions at the DMIN'08 conference and additional conferences (including the 2008 International Symposium on Forecasting, ISF'08, held in Nice, France, and the 2008 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence, WCCI'08, which includes the IJCNN'08, CEC'08 and FUZZ-IEEE'08 conferences held simultaneously in Hong Kong, China). To present NN5 prediction results each participant must submit a full paper to DMIN'08, register for the conference and submit their predictions at the competition website. Contestants submitting predictions are eligible to present at all three conferences and publish in the respective proceedings. More information and datasets may be found at the NN5 competition webpage (www.neural-forecasting-competition.com/dmin_workshop.htm).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission of Abstracts / Papers
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Prospective authors submitting papers on the DMIN'08 special session topics as well as the NN5 competition are invited to submit their full IEEE style paper electronically via the conference website www.dmin-2008.com/submission.htm following the guidelines posted there. For the forecasting competition, the paper should describe the method and modelling process applied and contain the reference "NN5 forecasting competition" in the paper title.

Conference Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------
DMIN'08 is an internationally acclaimed conference for academics and practitioners, held simultaneously with 24 other joint conferences as part of the 2008 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing (WORLDCOMP'08). With over 1500 attendees in the past years, WORLDCOMP is one of the largest annual conferences and promises many opportunities to present your work to an large, interdisciplinary audience and to extend our professional network.
DMIN accepts only high-quality papers for its conference proceedings, which are subject to a thorough & objective review process of at least 3 independent reviewers. The proceedings and all accepted papers are considered for inclusion in major database indexes (in the past 3 years these included ISI Thomson Scientific, IEE INSPEC, DBLP and many more). The DMIN conference has been highly ranked in the past - please do not confuse it with other Multi-conference.
DMIN'08 offers a 4 day single-track conference, a variety of interdisciplinary keynote speeches by world renowned scientists, special sessions and free tutorials on various aspects of data mining and a strong social programme. In the past, DMIN'08 has attracted over 50 high-quality presentations in 10 formal sessions plus keynotes, posters and tutorials, with over 100 attendees plus many more visitors from other WORLDCOMP conferences. Please consult the DMIN'08 webpages on www.dmin-2008.com for additional information.
