The Second International Conference and Exhibition on
The Practical Application of Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
http://www.demon.co.uk/ar/PADD98/
Wednesday 25th March - Friday 27th March 1998, London, UK
PADD98 - The Second International Conference and Exhibition on the
Practical Application of
Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining is a new conference that aims to
demonstrate the use
of this key technology for solving real-world problems in business,
industry, and commerce.
PADD98 will provide a rich blend of tutorials, invited talks, refereed
papers, panel discussions,
a poster session, social agenda and a full industrial exhibition. The
result is an ideal forum for
the exchange of ideas and knowledge, between experts from a broad spectrum
of industries and technologies.
Call for Participation
Vast amounts of data are being collected by organisations. KDD techniques
are used to extract
and transform hidden information into valuable knowledge through the
discovery of relationships
and patterns. Business processes are improved and solutions found to problems.
The latest research suggests that firms who invest in setting up a data
warehouse and the software
to mine it can expect a high return on their investment. As databases
begin to permeate virtually
all aspects of information storage, from e-mail systems to web servers, we
expect this return to increase dramatically.
It is quickly being recognized as an essential business intelligence
tool....a necessary ingredient to discovering the information necessary to
improve a company's market presence and differentiate
their products and services in today's global marketplace.
With the rapid advance in data capture , transmission and storage, large
systems users will
increasingly need to implement new and innovative ways to use the knowledge
hidden in their data.
A wealth of potential business opportunities are available through the use
of this technology.
PA EXPO98
PADD will form part of a five day Practical Application Expo which will
also include:
PAP/PACT98-Incorporating The Practical Application of Prolog and The
Practical Application of Constraint Technology
PAAM98-The Practical Application of Intelligent Agent and Multi Agent
Technology
PAKeM98-The Practical Application of Knowledge Management.
You are invited to register your interest for PADD98 by completing the
reply form below.
Call for Papers
We invite you to submit a paper or industrial report describing fielded
applications which exploit KDD technology and which emphasize the following
aspects:
* Actual business benefits and business problems addressed
* Either innovative KD and DM techniques applied to standard domains
or significant new applications of standard techniques
* Issues and methods of resolution to get the application
implemented and deployed
* why KDD was appropriate
* How benefits are measured
Papers can be of any length, up to a maximum of twenty pages, and on
virtually any KDD related topic, which might include, but are not limited
to the following:
Rule Induction
Classification
Clustering
Summarisation
Learning Systems
Inductive Logic Programming
Pattern Recognition
Predictive Modelling
Neural Networks
Client/Server Systems
Intelligent Agents
Knowledge Acquisition
Decisional Data Analysis
Visualisation
Dependency Detection
Uncertainty Handling
Sequence Processing
Regression Methods for Prediction
Database issues in Data Mining
Fuzzy Logic Approaches to Data Mining
Since PADD98 focuses on the real-world benefits of KDD technology,
preference will be given to papers describing fielded applications,
especially in the business arena. Also of interest are descriptions of
advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques, and general survey
papers which indicate the future direction this important technology will
take. Authors must clearly state whether the systems described are in
routine use, and discuss the criteria used for assessing the performance of
both fielded systems and advanced prototypes.
Dates:
Submission Deadline: December 5th, 1997
Notification: January 12th, 1998
Final Papers due: February 13th, 1998
