We particularly encourage submissions of industrial applications and
case studies from practitioners. These will not be evaluated using
solely theoretical research criteria, but will take general interest
and presentation stringer into consideration.
+ Alternative and additional examples of possible topics include:
Data Mining for Business Intelligence; Emerging technologies in data
mining; Computational performance issues in data mining; Data mining
in usability; Advanced prediction modelling using data mining; Data
mining and national security; Data mining tools; Data analysis;
Data preparation techniques (selection, transformation, and
preprocessing); Information extraction methodologies; Clustering
algorithms used in data mining; Genetic algorithms and categorization
techniques used in data mining; Data and information integration;
Microarray design and analysis; Privacy-preserving data mining; Active
data mining; Statistical methods used in data mining; Multidimensional
data; Automatic data cleaning; Data visualization; Theory and practice
(knowledge representation and discovery); Knowledge Discovery in
Databases (KDD); Uncertainty management; Data reduction methods; Data
engineering; Content mining; Indexing schemes; Information retrieval;
Metadata use and management; Multidimensional query languages and
query; Multimedia information systems; Search engine query processing;
Pattern mining; Applications (examples: data mining in education,
marketing, finance and financial services, business applications,
medicine, bioinformatics, biological sciences, science and technology,
industry and government, ...).
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Prospective authors are invited to submit a draft paper in PDF format
(up to 7 pages, standard double column IEEE style, single spaced,
10 pt font size, margins left/right/bottom/top 0.75" (19 mm), first page
top margin 1" (25 mm)), to the DMIN'09 online paper submission system
by Feb. 25, 2009. The link to the online submission system will be
available on the DMIN'09 website (www.dmin--2009.com).
The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to
7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously published
or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of
the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation,
postal address, and email address of each author as well as the name
of the conference the paper is being submitted to (i.e., DMIN'09).
The first page should also identify the name of the Contact Author
and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the
content of the paper.
To reflect upon feedback from last year we will extend the feedback
given within the review in aligning them with the IEEE guidelines
for IJCNN and WCCI. In particular, we aim at a fair, objective and
transparent review process. Therefore, we are publishing the review
criteria to further support the reviews provided (see
www.dmin--2009.com).
Papers will be evaluated for relevance to DMIN, originality,
significance, information content, clarity, and soundness on an
international level. Each aspect will be evaluated on a scale of
1 (bad - reject) to 10 (excellent - accept) or 10%-100%. Papers
need to achieve at least 50% overall score to be accepted without
mandatory revisions. Each paper will be refereed by at least two
researchers in the topical area, and all reviews are being considered
for the acceptance/rejection decision. Each reviewer can indicate
their expertise and therefore their relative confidence in a
particular recommendation. The camera-ready papers will be reviewed
by one person.
We particularly encourage submissions of industrial applications and
case studies from practitioners. To reflect the requirements of an
application or project centric case study presentation, these will
be subject to different review criteria. In particular, they will
not be evaluated using predominantly theoretical research criteria
of originality etc., but will take general interest and presentation
stronger into consideration. The camera-ready papers will be reviewed
by one person.
