Conference Scope

The Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD) is a leading international conference in the areas of data mining and knowledge discovery (KDD). 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, artificial intelligence, databases, statistics, knowledge engineering, visualization, and decision-making systems. The conference calls for research papers reporting original investigation results and industrial papers reporting real data mining applications and system development experience.

The topics of relevance for the conference papers include but not limited to the following:

* Novel models and algorithms

* Clustering

* Classification

* Ranking

* Association analysis

* Anomaly detection

* Data pre-processing

* Feature extraction and selection

* Mining heterogeneous data

* Mining multi-source data

Paper Submission

Each submitted paper should include an abstract up to 200 words. It should also adhere to the double-blind review policy and not longer than 12 single-spaced pages with 10pt font size. Authors are strongly encouraged to use Springer LNCS/LNAI manuscript submission guidelines (available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) for their initial submissions. All papers must be submitted electronically through Microsoft's Conference Management Service (CMT) in PDF format only.

The submitted papers must not be previously published anywhere, and must not be under consideration by any other conferences or journal during the PAKDD review process. Submitting a paper to the conference means that if the paper were accepted, at least one author will attend the conference to present the paper. For no-show authors, their affiliations will receive a notification. The program committee chairs are not allowed to submit papers to the conference for a fair review process.

All papers will be double-blind reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance to data mining, originality, significance, and clarity. Papers that do not comply with the Submission Guidelines will be rejected without review.

The best papers will be selected to be included in the special issues of Knowledge and Information Systems (KAIS) and International Journal of Data Mining and Bioinformatics (IJDMB).

Before submitting your paper, please carefully read and agree with the PAKDD submission policy and no-show policy: http://pakdd.togaware.com/policy.html
