                  IEEE ICDM 2002: Call for Tutorials
                  **********************************

    The 2002 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM '02) will
    include tutorials providing in-depth background on specific subjects
    in data mining. The recency of the data mining field, and the variety
    of disciplines that are represented, lead to many possibilities for
    good tutorials:

       * End-to-end descriptions of the practical application of data
         mining technology (i.e., applications that may be "typical" for a
         paper, but provide an example of issues faced in a data mining
         project that would generalize to problems faced by the conference
         attendees) in emerging data mining application areas such as
         bioinformatics, medical applications, electronic commerce, Web
         Intelligence and Business Intelligence.
       * Surveys of new and developing research areas in data
         mining (e.g., areas of structured, textual, temporal, spatial,
         multimedia, Web, distributed, scientific data mining, data pre-
         processing, data reduction, data sampling, feature selection,
         feature transformation, man-machine interaction in data mining
         and visual data mining).
       * Short courses on areas of machine learning, databases, or
         statistics that may be "old hat" to specialists in that
         discipline, but are new to a majority of the conference
         attendees. (e.g., an introduction to Hidden Markov Models).
       * An in-depth coverage of a past research breakthrough that is now
         becoming a mature technology.

    The topics of interest fall within those described in the conference
    Call for Papers (Home Page: http://kis.maebashi-it.ac.jp/icdm02
                     Mirror Page: http://www.wi-lab.com/icdm02).

    Submission Details
    ==================

    The tutorial proposal should include the following:

      1. Title and abstract of the tutorial;
      2. Intended audience. Include prerequisite knowledge required of the
         attendees, and the expected areas of interest (e.g., a tutorial
         on statistics for people applying data mining tools vs. a tutorial
         on statistics for people building data mining tools);
      3. Length of time needed (e.g., half day or full day); and
      4. Short biographies of the presenters.

    Tutorial materials such as handouts and slides should be included if
    available, but are not required for submission. However, providing
    such materials will show depth and maturity of the tutorial, and will
    be a strong factor in the selection process.

    Please send a soft copy (preferred) of your proposal to
    washio@ar.sanken.osaka-u.ac.jp, or a hard copy to:

         Prof. Takashi Washio (Tutorials Chair)
         I.S.I.R., Osaka University
         8-1, Mihogaoka, Ibaraki City,
         Osaka, 567-0047,
         JAPAN

    Notice
    =======
    (1) Honorarium of $500 is provided to the speaker per a half-day
        tutorial. (If multiple speakers give a half-day tutorial, it is
        shared by the speakers.)
    (2) Travel expenses of $500 (speaker is from outside of Japan) and
         $100 (speaker is from inside of Japan) are provided to the tutorial
         speaker. (If multiple speakers give a tutorial, it is shared
         by the speakers.)
