The 9th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD-05) is a leading international conference in the areas of data mining and knowledge discovery. It provides an international forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share their new ideas, original research results and practical development experiences from all KDD related areas including data mining, data warehousing, machine learning, databases, statistics, knowledge acquisition and automatic scientific discovery, data visualization, causal induction and knowledge-based systems. The conference calls for research papers reporting original investigation results and industrial track papers reporting real data mining applications and system development experience. The conference also solicits proposals for tutorials on crucial technologies of knowledge discovery and data mining, and calls for workshop proposals focusing on specific new challenges and emergency issues of knowledge discovery and data mining.

Topics

The conference calls for research papers reporting original investigation results and industrial track papers reporting real data mining applications and system development experience.The topics of the PAKDD-05 papers fall into two major categories which will include but are not limited to the following:

Tutorial Proposal Submission

The PAKDD-05 organizing committee invites tutorial proposals in the area of Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining in various topics. A proposal should include a description and outline of the proposed contents; names, affiliations, and biographical sketches of the speaker(s). The intended length of the tutorial is either half-day or full day. For more details of the tutorial proposal, please look at the Tutorial web page at the conference main page.

Tutorial proposals should be submitted (preferably by email) directly to Tutorial Co-Chair no later than February 12, 2005 (see Important Dates).

Workshop Proposal Submission

PAKDD’05 seeks proposals for workshops on novel and emerging areas of Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining, both theoretical and applied. Innovative topics are most welcome. Workshops are intended to serve as forums for discussion of ideas and work of emerging interest, and to promote interactions between experts in disparate areas that do not have standard forums for interaction. Examples of such areas include, but are not restricted to, areas such as security and privacy, reliability, stream processing, results and experience from real-world applications, economic and commercial issues in mining, and so on. Workshops specifically targeted at bringing together practitioners and theoretical researchers are also welcome. These workshops are expected to be either half-day or one-day events.

These workshops are expected to be either half-day or one-day events. Workshop proposals must be sent (preferably by email) directly to Workshop Chair no later than 22 December 2004 (see Important Dates).
