***************************************
**   ECML/PKDD-2005
**   Call for Tutorials and Workshops
***************************************

The ECML/PKDD-2005 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials =
and workshops that will be co-located with the main ECML/PKDD-2005 =
conference, Porto, Portugal. We invite proposals for half-day tutorials =
and full day workshops. Proposals for a workshop/tutorial combination =
are also welcome (see below). The scope of the proposal should be =
consistent with the conference themes as described in the ECML/PKDD-2005 =
Call for Papers (see the conference site, http://ecmlpkdd05.liacc.up.pt, =
for details).

* Workshops: These provide an opportunity to discuss current topics in =
machine learning and/or data mining in a small and interactive =
atmosphere. Thus, any topic that is of current interest to a sufficient =
number of participants from the two communities could be the focus of a =
workshop. Workshops can concentrate in-depth on research topics, but can =
also be devoted to application issues, or to questions concerning the =
economic and social aspects of machine learning and data mining. =
Multidisciplinary workshops that bring together researchers and =
practitioners from different communities such as advanced computing and =
GRID, database, ontology, life science, cognitive science, economics and =
finance, mathematics and operations research, are welcome.

* Tutorials: These are intended to provide independent instruction on =
topics from the field of machine learning or data mining. Introductions =
to other research domains that could fertilize the machine learning/data =
mining field with new challenges or solutions are also welcome provided =
that there is a clear relation to machine learning/data mining. Each =
tutorial should:

*	attract a large enough audience;=20
*	be presented by highly qualified persons with a demonstrable =
background and teaching experience in the tutorial area;=20
*	be well-focused, so that its core content can be covered in a 3.5 hour =
tutorial slot (incl. a 30 minute break);=20
*	be accompanied by comprehensive notes written in clear, standard =
English;=20
*	cope with the wide diversity in the ECML/PKDD audience (preferable), =
or else be accompanied by a complete list of tutorial prerequisites;=20
*	cover the overall picture, without a bias towards the presenters' own =
work;=20
*	be free of commercial or sales-oriented material.=20


As workshops and tutorials are in a sense complementary, we also welcome =
proposals for combined tutorial-workshop events. The general idea is =
that the tutorial gives an introduction to the field of the workshop, =
making the workshop accessible to a broader audience.=20


** Workshop Participation and Proceedings **

All workshop participants are required to register for the main =
conference. During registration the participants will specify which =
workshop they are going to attend. If the workshop organizers intend to =
allow access to the workshop by invitation only, or would like to see =
the number of participants limited, then they should clearly indicate =
so. To make it easier for workshop organizers to attract invited =
speakers, a limited number of invited speakers (e.g. one per workshop) =
can be allowed without registration for the main conference, provided =
they do not attend the main conference.=20

Workshop proceedings have to be prepared camera-ready by the workshop =
organizers (in a form of a single PDF file). They will be printed by the =
ECML/PKDD organizers. A common paper style will be adopted for the =
proceedings (Springer format).

In addition, the ECML/PKDD organizers intend to prepare a CD containing =
all the workshop proceedings. Hence, electronic submissions to the =
workshops are essential so that this could be carried out. =20



** Tutorial participation and publication of materials**


Registered conference participants can freely attend all tutorials.=20

Tutorial presenters are expected to prepare hand-outs for the audience =
(PDF file), which will be printed by the ECML/PKDD organizers. The =
organizers also plan to make the tutorial materials available on the CD =
containing the workshop materials. Consequently, tutorial presenters are =
expected to make their materials available several weeks before the =
start of the conference (see the list with Important dates).=20

Discounts on registration will be considered for the tutorial =
presenters.



** Important dates  **


- Workshop proposal deadline: 28 March '05
- Tutorial proposal deadline: 18 April=20
- Workshop acceptance notification: 18 April=20
- Tutorial acceptance notification 18 May
- Workshop Call for Papers (to be ready on the web): 9 May
- Tutorial summary (to be ready on the web):  9 June

- Start of the conference: 3 Oct. '05


** How to Propose a Workshop  **

Workshop proposals should contain the necessary information for the =
workshop chairs and reviewers to judge the importance, quality and =
community interest in the proposed topic. Each workshop should have one =
or more designated organizers and a workshop program or organizing =
committee. When proposing a workshop, please provide (at least) the =
following information:

*	A brief technical description of the specific technical issues that =
the workshop will address.
*	The reasons why the workshop is of interest this time.=20
*	The names, postal and email addresses, phone and fax numbers of the =
Workshop Chairs. At least one of the Workshop Chairs should be a =
knowledgeable person in the area of machine learning or data mining.
*	The names, affiliations and email addresses of the Workshop Program =
Committee.
*	A list of previously-organized related workshops by any of the =
Workshop Chairs, although previous experience with similar workshops is =
not required.=20
*	If possible, a list of potential attendees if the proposal of the =
workshop were accepted.  Estimate of the number of potential =
participants and their main research areas (machine learning, data =
mining, database, statistics, logics, life science, finance, ...).=20
*	How the workshop will be publicized.=20
*	A summary of the intended workshop Call for Participation, showing how =
the organizers will encourage a workshop, rather than a mini-conference, =
atmosphere (e.g., invited talks, presentations, panel discussions, or =
other ideas for ensuring an interactive atmosphere).
*	Plans to document the workshop results (beyond ECML/PKDDS =
publication).=20
*	Ideal duration of the workshop (three/ four sessions).
*	A list of audio-visual or technical requirements and any special room =
requirements.
*	In the case of a combined tutorial-workshop proposal: title of the =
tutorial and name of proposers.=20
*	Proposers are encouraged to send their draft proposal to the potential =
participants for comments before submission.=20


Please submit your workshop proposals by e-mail to ECML/PKDD workshop =
chair (see contact information below). He/she will review the proposals =
in close collaboration with the tutorial chair, conference chairs and =
the program committee.



** How to Propose a Tutorial  **


Tutorial proposals should contain all information that the proposer =
considers to be relevant for judging the relevance of the tutorial. In =
particular, it should contain (1) title of the tutorial and a short =
overview of the area that will be covered, (2) an outline of the =
tutorial in the form of a structured list of topics, (3) a description =
of the target audience and expected prior knowledge, and (4) information =
about the scientific qualifications of the presenter(s) including their =
experience on teaching the material of the tutorial, if possible (5) =
accompanied by some sample material (e.g., slides or hand-outs from a =
previous tutorial or a course the presenters have taught).=20

All materials should be submitted by e-mail to the ECML/PKDD tutorial =
chair (see contact information below). He/she will review the proposal =
in close collaboration with the workshop chair, conference chairs and =
the program committee.



**  How to Propose a Tutorial/Workshop Combination  **


Proposals for joint tutorial-workshop events can be made by sending the =
joint proposal to both the workshop and the tutorial chair, clearly =
indicating on each proposal that this is a joint event, and also stating =
reasons why such a joint event is preferable to just a workshop or =
tutorial. It is possible for joint proposals that only the workshop or =
tutorial part will be accepted.=20
