    On-line, interconnected systems offer unprecedented opportunities
    for discovery and learning from the wealth of data they produce.
    Extracting useful knowledge from such data is becoming more
    difficult, as volume and complexity push traditional techniques
    beyond their limits. Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD)
    techniques automate the process of extracting knowledge from
    data. The annual ACM SIGKDD conference brings together
    researchers and practitioners focusing on new developments and
    challenges in KDD brought about by this data explosion.

    The conference features tutorials, keynote addresses by
    data-mining leaders in industry and academia, workshops, academic
    and industry paper and poster presentations, exhibits, and the
    ever-popular KDD-CUP competition, where universities and data
    mining companies compete to mine the best nuggets from real data.

    This year's agenda is not yet complete, but as an example of what
    to expect here are some hilights from last year's conference:

    * over 900 attendees from over 30 countries
    * five keynote addresses by CEO's of large software companies and
      leading researchers
    * standing-room-only tutorials and workshops
    * over 20 exhibitors
    * research papers on classification, association rules,
      visualization, interactive knowledge exploration, mining the
      web, etc.
    * business papers on applications in marketing, manufacturing,
      medicine, finance, aerospace, e-commerce, telephony, etc.
    * a lively KDD-CUP competition with 35 competitors analysing data
      from a web retail site to predict future customer behavior

    Please save the date and visit the website

    information about the conference.
