DM: 4th CRISP-DM Special Interest Group Workshop in Brussels

[Thomas Reinartz]

Dear data miners,

CRISP-DM - CRoss-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining - is an
initiative which aims to develop, validate and promote a standard
process model for data mining.

The core CRISP-DM consortium consists of NCR, DaimlerChrysler, SPSS
and OHRA. Key to the project is a Special Interest Group (SIG)
comprising data mining vendors, suppliers of related products and
services, and large-scale commercial users. The CRISP-DM work is 
non-proprietary. The SIG currently has over 150 member organisations 
around the world.

Following our successful events in Amsterdam, London, and New York
we are happy to announce:

                   *****************************
                   * 4th CRISP-DM SIG Workshop *
                   *      18th March 1999      * 
                   *     Brussels, Belgium     *
                   *****************************

The day will include:

  -> updates on the CRISP-DM process model

  -> presentation of the CRISP-DM user guide

  -> reports on experiences in using the CRISP-DM process model

  -> three invited talks 

  -> discussion forum on the future of CRISP-DM

In order to stimulate discussions, we will make the latest CRISP-DM
process model including the CRISP-DM user guide - which provides more
detailed guidance in using the CRISP-DM process model in practice -
available for down-load from our web page at http://www.ncr.dk/CRISP
before the workshop. We will send an additional announcement as soon
as the documents are available.

We invite workshop participants to present a short position state-
ment on their comments on the latest CRISP-DM process model.

Please, find more information and a tentative agenda for the
4th CRISP-DM SIG Workshop in Brussels below.
