The IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM) has established
itself as the world's premier research conference in data mining. The 11th
edition of ICDM (ICDM '11) provides a leading forum for presentation of
original research results, as well as exchange and dissemination of
innovative, practical development experiences. The conference covers all
aspects of data mining, including algorithms, software and systems, and
applications. In addition, ICDM draws researchers and application developers
from a wide range of data mining related areas such as statistics, machine
learning, pattern recognition, databases and data warehousing, data
visualization, knowledge-based systems, and high performance computing. By
promoting novel, high quality research findings, and innovative solutions to
challenging data mining problems, the conference seeks to continuously
advance the state-of-the-art in data mining. Besides the technical program,
the conference will feature invited talks from research and industry
leaders, workshops, tutorials, panels, and the ICDM data mining contest.

Paper Submissions
*****************

High quality papers in all data mining areas are solicited. Original papers
exploring new directions will receive especially careful consideration.
Papers that have already been accepted or are currently under review for
other conferences or journals will not be considered for ICDM '11.

Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 10 pages in the IEEE
2-column format (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). All
papers will be triple-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
(http://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~icdm2011/submission-guidelines) will be
rejected without review.

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by the IEEE
Computer Society Press and accorded oral presentation times in the main
conference. Submissions accepted as regular papers will be allocated 10
pages in the proceedings. Submissions accepted as short papers will be
allocated 6 pages in the proceedings and will have a shorter presentation
time at the conference than regular papers.

A selected number of IEEE ICDM '11 accepted papers will be invited for
possible inclusion, in expanded and revised form, in the Knowledge and
Information Systems journal (http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~kais/) published by
Springer-Verlag.

Please click here
(http://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2011/icdm11/scripts/submit.php) to submit your
papers to ICDM2011.

ICDM Best Paper Awards
**********************

IEEE ICDM Best Paper Awards will be conferred at the conference on the
authors of (1) the best research paper, (2) the best application paper, and
(3) the best student paper. Strong, foundational results will be considered
for the best research paper award and application -oriented submissions will
be considered for the best application paper award. The best student paper
award will be given to the authors of the best paper written solely by one
or more students.

Tutorials
*********

ICDM '11 will host short and long tutorials that focus on new research
directions and initiatives. The deadline for submission of tutorial
proposals is June 24, 2011.

to see Call for Tutorials.

Workshops
*********

ICDM '11 will host short and long workshops that focus on new research
directions and initiatives. All accepted workshop papers will be included in
a separate workshop proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society
Press.

The deadline for workshop proposals is April 1, 2011.  The deadline for
Workshop paper submissions is August 5, 2011.

ICDM Data Mining Contest
************************

ICDM '11 will host a data mining contest to challenge researchers and
practitioners with a real practical data mining problem.

For further details on the contest, please click here
(http://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~icdm2011/contest).

ICDM Data Mining Demos and Exhibits
***********************************

ICDM '11 will host demos and exhibits. The exhibitors will be given the
opportunity to distribute product, service, and company literature, give
demonstrations and carry out recruitment activities.
Demos are solicited for demonstrating data mining software systems and
libraries closely related to the area of data mining and knowledge
discovery, or showing new technological advances in applying data mining
techniques.
