The Second Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data
Mining (PAKDD-98) will provide an international forum for the sharing
of original research results and practical development experiences
among researchers and application developers from different KDD
related areas such as machine learning, databases, statistics,
knowledge acquisition, data visualization, software re-engineering,
and knowledge-based systems. It will follow the success of PAKDD-97
held in Singapore in 1997 by bringing together participants from
universities, industry and government.

Papers on all aspects of knowledge discovery and data mining are
welcome. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Data and Dimensionality Reduction
- Data Mining Algorithms and Tools
- Data Mining and Data Warehousing
- Data Mining on the Internet
- Data Mining Metrics
- Data Preprocessing and Postprocessing
- Data and Knowledge Visualization
- Deduction and Induction in KDD
- Discretisation of Continuous Data
- Distributed Data Mining
- KDD Framework and Process
- Knowledge Representation and Acquisition in KDD
- Knowledge Reuse and Role of Domain Knowledge
- Knowledge Acquisition in Software Re-Engineering and Software
Information Systems
- Induction of Rules and Decision Trees
- Management Issues in KDD
- Machine Learning, Statistical and Visualization Aspects of KDD
(including Neural Networks, Rough Set Theory and Inductive Logic
Programming)
- Mining in-the-large vs Mining in-the-small
- Noise Handling
- Security and Privacy Issues in KDD
- Successful/Innovative KDD Applications in Science, Government,
Business and Industry.

Both research and applications papers are solicited. All submitted
papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance
to KDD, significance, and clarity. Accepted papers will be published
in the conference proceedings by Springer-Verlag (in the Lecture Notes
in Artificial Intelligence series). A selected number of the accepted
papers will be expanded and revised for inclusion in a special issue
of an international journal.

All submissions should be limited to a maximum of 5,000 words. Four
hardcopies should be forwarded to the following address.

Professor Ramamohanarao Kotagiri (PAKDD '98)
