Call for Workshop, Tutorial, and Panel Proposals
In the past few years, the ACM SIGKDD conference has established itself
as one of the premier conferences on knowledge discovery and data
mining. To continue with this tradition, the eighth ACM SIGKDD
conference will provide a forum for the academic researchers and
industry practitioners to share their research and experience. The
conference will be co-located with AAAI. It will feature keynote
presentations, plenary paper presentations, poster presentations,
tutorials, workshops, panels, as well as the KDD Cup competition.
The organizing committee is soliciting proposals for Workshops,
Tutorials and Panels related to KDD. (details below)

Call for Workshop Proposals
Workshops Chair:
Renee Miller
University of Toronto, Canada
(miller@cs.toronto.edu)
The KDD-2002 organizing committee invites proposals for workshops to
be held in conjunction with the conference. The purpose of these
workshops is to provide participants with the opportunity to discuss
novel research ideas on focused technical topics in an informal
setting. Researchers and practitioners from all segments of the
data-mining community are invited to submit proposals for review. The
organizers of approved workshops are expected to define the workshop's
focus, gather and review submissions, and decide upon final program
content. They may elect to form organizing or program committees for
assistance in these tasks.
PROPOSAL DETAILS
Proposals should be no more than 3 pages in length, and must include
the following information:
1.Description of the research issues that will be the focus of the workshop.
2.Reasons why the topic is of interest.
3.Contact information (address, email, phone) for all organizers, and
a designated primary contact.
4.List of potential reviewers, authors, and attendees (if possible).
Proposers are encouraged to have their drafts reviewed by potential
workshop participants before submission.
IMPORTANT DATES
February 22, 2002 --- Workshop proposals due
March 25, 2002 --- Notification of proposal acceptance
July 23, 2002 --- KDD-2002 workshops held
Workshop proposals should be sent by e-mail to the Workshops Chair,
Renée J. Miller (miller@cs.toronto.edu), by the submission
deadline of February 22, 2002. PDF format is highly preferred.

Call for Tutorial Proposals
Tutorials Chair:
Alexander Hinneburg
University of Halle, Germany
(hinneburg@informatik.uni-halle.de)
Proposals should be submitted electronically to the Tutorials
Chair. Proposals may take the form of plain text, Postscript, PDF,
Microsoft Word, Microsoft Powerpoint, or some combination of
these. Contact the Tutorials Chair if you wish to provide
non-electronic supporting materials along with your proposal.
PROPOSAL DETAILS
Tutorial proposals should address the following issues:
Basic information: Title, brief description, names and contact
information for each tutor.
Audience: What is the intended audience for the tutorial, e.g., novice
users of statistical techniques, expert researchers in text mining, or
database administrators.
Interest: Why is this topic important/interesting to the KDD
community? Provide some informal evidence that people would
attend. Evidence might include related workshops, conference sessions,
papers, communities, etc.
Coverage: How deep/broad is the proposed tutorial? How valuable would
the tutorial be with the given scope?
Background: What background will be required of the audience?
Enough materials should be included in the proposal to provide a sense
of the scope and depth of the tutorial. The more details that can be
provided, the better; up to and including actual overhead slides.
For optimal preparation of the conference please indicate if you like
to use non-standard or additional supplementary equipment. The
standard equipment includes a LCD projector, an overhead projector, a
single projection screen and cordless microphones.
The proposal should also include some biographical information on each
tutor (including WWW address, if applicable). This information should
describe the qualifications of each presenter with respect to the
tutorial's topic. On the other hand, the tutors should not focus
mainly on their own research results. A KDD tutorial is NOT a forum
for promoting one's research or product. If, for certain parts of the
tutorial, the material comes directly from the tutors' own research or
product, please indicate this in the proposal.
IMPORTANT DATES
February 22, 2002 --- Tutorial proposals due
March 25, 2002 --- Notification of proposal acceptance
May 30, 2002 --- Camera ready copy of tutorial notes
July 23, 2002 --- KDD-2002 tutorials held
For further information, please contact Alexander Hinneburg
(hinneburg@informatik.uni-halle.de).
