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 - Workshop paper submission deadline: 25 July=20 - Workshop paper acceptance notification: 15 August - Workshop paper camera-ready deadline: 5 Sept. - Workshop proceedings (camera-ready): 12 Sept. - Tutorial notes (camera-ready): 12 Sept. - 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 ** Contact information ** -- Workshop Chair -- Floriana Esposito Department of Informatics University of Bari via Orabona 4, I-70126 Bari, Italy [email protected] =20 Phone/Fax: +39 080 544 3264 =20 =20 -- Tutorial Chair -- Dunja Mladenic Department of Knowledge Technologies, J.Stefan Institute, Jamova 39,=20 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia [email protected] Phone: +386 1 477 3377 Fax: +386 1 477 3131 =20 ------_=_NextPart_001_01C51F14.4CC0D850 Content-Type: text/html;
