ECML PKDD 2006 Workshop on
Practical Data Mining: Applications, Experiences and Challenges
Call for Presentation and Participation
PDF Version of CfP
Extended submission deadline: July 5th, 2006
Objective
The objective of the workshop is to contribute to the
interaction between theory and practice by attracting people
with a business, banking or industrial perspective on data and
text mining to the ECML-PKDD conference, and to actually bring
together the developers of new data mining methods with
the practitioners applying them to business problems.
We encourage the submission of
- case studies and experience reports of the application of data mining
(DM), text mining (TM) and business intelligence (BI) technologies,
emphasizing the benefits as well as the lessons learned
- challenges and innovative applications of DM, TM & BI
- integration of DM, TM & BI with other technologies
Target Audience
- business managers and executives (marketing, finance, customer
relationship, sales, product development, etc.)
- researchers from areas which can benefit from better data
analysis tools and methodologies (bioinformatics, pharmaceutics,
economics, engineering, etc.)
- researchers and professionals on DM, BI and IT in general
- anyone who makes decisions based on data
Topics of Interest
We are interested in presentations concerning applications, techniques
and products. We are interested in applications from (but not restricted to)
the following areas:
- banking and finance
- insurance
- retail
- e-business
- telecommunications
- network security
- entertainment
- government
- automotive industry
- health
- pharmaceutics
We welcome success stories as well as applications which did not succeed.
In any case the presentations should include lessons learned that can be
applied in different situations.
Submissions comparing different tools on applications are also interesting.
In the case of techniques, we are particularly interested in innovative
techniques used to address novel problems or classical ones with new
particular issues.
Finally, submissions concerning tools can describe the integration of
DM, TM and BI technologies into IS tools of different kinds, especially
in the case of tools for vertical applications.
Submission
Interested authors should submit an extended abstract (max. 4 pages) in
LNCS format, either in english or german. For the final
paper we can accept up to 8 pages on request. Accepted presentations will
be published in the same way as in the other workshops. Submissions should
be sent by email to dmbiz@liacc.up.pt
in the form of a PDF file. The authors of accepted presentations will be
asked to prepare slides and a poster. More information about the LNCS format can be
found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Selected presentations will be given the opportunity to submit an extended
and revised version of their paper for inclusion into a post-workshop volume
published by IOS press.
Each submission will be evaluated by two reviewers, which will take the
following dimensions into account:
- innovation
- interest
- maturity
- lessons learned
- technical quality
- quality of presentation
