About the Conference
Advances in information technology and data collection methods have led to the availability of large data sets in commercial enterprises and in a wide variety of scientific and engineering disciplines. We have an unprecedented opportunity to analyze this data and extract intelligent and useful information from it. The field of data mining draws upon extensive work in areas such as statistics, machine learning, pattern recognition, databases, and high performance computing to discover interesting and previously unknown information in data.
This conference will provide a forum for the presentation of recent results in data mining, including applications, algorithms, software, and systems. There will be peer reviewed, contributed papers as well as invited talks, tutorials and a panel. Best paper awards will be given for papers in different categories. Proceedings of the conference will be available both online at the SIAM Web site and in hard copy form. In addition, several workshops on topics of current interest will be held on the final day of the conference.

CALL FOR TUTORIALS PASSED
For SDM-2003, we are seeking proposals for tutorials on all topics related to data mining.
A tutorial may be a theme-oriented comprehensive survey, discuss novel data mining techniques or may center around successful applications of data mining.
Tutorials are open to all conference attendees without any extra fees. The typical tutorial will be 2 hrs long, and held in parallel with two paper presentation tracks during the main conference program. This format encourages participation – previous SDM conference attracted 50 to 100 attendees per tutorial.
If interested, please email (ghosh@ece.utexas.edu) a two or three page proposal providing:
1. Title and intended audience.
2. Amount of time intended. The recommended slot is 2hrs, but longer tutorials may be accommodated.
3. A short description and outline, to provide a sense of both the scope and depth of the tutorial.
You may optionally specify the material to be covered for a 2-hour, 3-hour and/or 4-hour period.
4. A short biography of each tutor (or a URL pointer to one). The tutor must NOT focus mainly on his/her research results. SDM tutorials are not the forum for promoting one’s research or product. If for certain parts of the tutorial, the material comes directly from the tutor’s own research or product, please indicate that in the proposal. Also, any pointers to related tutorials that you may have recently presented will be appreciated.
