                KDD-2000 Call for Tutorial Proposals
		
                            KDD-2000:
            The Sixth ACM SIGKDD International Conference
              on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining

                August 20-23, 2000, Boston, MA, USA

                       Call for Proposals
    http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigkdd/kdd2000/KDD2000-TutorialsCFP.htm

               Tutorial Proposals due:  March 6, 2000

KDD-2000 Tutorials Chair:  Raymond Ng, University of British
                            Columbia, (rng@cs.ubc.ca)

Tutorials have become an essential component in many conferences and
workshops related to data mining. This is partly because data mining is
highly inter-disciplinary in nature. But this is also because
tremendous progress in research and development has been made in the
past decade.  As a tradition, KDD conferences have been offering high
quality tutorials on the very many aspects of data mining.

For KDD-2000, we are seeking proposals for 4 to 8 tutorials. An ideal
tutorial should stimulate synergy among the three different
sub-communities in data mining, i.e., databases, machine learning and
statistics. It may discuss novel data mining techniques, successful
applications in data mining, and/or theme-oriented comprehensive
surveys.

Submission Details:
Deadline: March 6, 2000

Hard Copy to: Raymond Ng, 2366 Main Mall, UBC, Vancouver, B.C. Canada V6T

Proposal Details:
1) Apart from the title of the proposal, it must clearly identify
    the intended audience, e.g., novice learners on statistical
    techniques, expert researchers on classification. An ideal tutorial
    should have an intended audience broader than a single sub-community.

2) The proposal must identify the amount of time intended. For KDD-2000,
    tutorials may be 2-hour, 3-hour or 4-hour long.

3) Enough materials should be included in the proposal to provide a sense
    of both the scope and depth of the tutorial. (In fact, the more
    detailed, the better.) In the proposal, it may specify the material to be

    covered for a 2-hour, 3-hour and/or 4-hour period.

4) The proposal should include a short biography of each tutor (including
Web
    address). For the proposed subject matter, on the one hand, the
    tutor must have appropriate qualification. On the other hand, the
    tutor must NOT focus mainly on his/her research results. KDD
    tutorials are not the forum for promoting one's research or product.
    If for certain parts of the tutorial, the material comes directly
    from the tutor's own research or product, please indicate that in the
    proposal.

For further information, please contact Raymond Ng (rng@cs.ubc.ca).
