PADD97 - The First International Conference and Exhibition on
=============================================================
The Practical Application of Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
==========================================================================
Wednesday 23rd April - Friday 25th April 1997, London, UK
The Commercial Value of Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining:- An
Exploration Through Practical Applications
PADD97 - The First International Conference and Exhibition on the Practical
Application of Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining is a new conference that
aims to demonstrate the use of this key technology for solving real-world
problems in business, industry, and commerce.
This event is being sponsored by the European Union to showcase powerful
industrial and commercial applications of KD and DM-based software. The
conference will include presentations from leading international companies
that are successfully introducing this innovative technology.
The annual PADD conference provides a major international forum for
information exchange, and includes plenary sessions, a multi-track
conference, introductory and advanced tutorials, round-table discussions,
and full industrial exhibition. The event will provide unrivalled insights
into leading-edge applications, systems, development tools, and techniques.
Call for Participation
Vast amounts of data are being collected by organisations. KD and DM
techniques are used to extract and transform hidden information into
valuable knowledge through the discovery of relationships and patterns.
Business processes are improved and solutions found to problems.
The latest research suggests that firms who invest in setting up a data
warehouse and the software to mine it can expect a high return on their
investment. As databases begin to permeate virtually
all aspects of information storage, from e-mail systems to web servers, we
expect this return to increase dramatically.
It is quickly being recognized as an essential business intelligence
tool....a necessary ingredient to discovering the information necessary to
improve a company's market presence and differentiate their products and
services in today's global marketplace.
With the rapid advance in data capture , transmission and storage, large
systems users will increasingly need to implement new and innovative ways
to use the knowledge hidden in their data. A wealth of potential business
opportunities are available through the use of this technology.
PA EXPO97
PADD will form part of a five day Practical Application Expo which will
also include PAP97-The Practical Application of Prolog, PACT97-The
Practical Application of Constraint Technology and PAAM97-The Practical
Application of Intelligent Agent and Multi Agent Technology.
You are invited to register your interest for PADD97 by completing the
reply form below.
Call for Papers
We invite you to submit a paper or industrial report describing fielded
applications which exploit KD and DM technology and which emphasize the
following aspects:
* Actual business benefits and business problems addressed
* Either innovative KD and DM techniques applied to standard domains
or significant new applications of standard techniques
* Issues and methods of resolution to get the application
implemented and deployed
* why KDD was appropriate
* How benefits are measured
Papers can be of any length, up to a maximum of twenty pages, and on
virtually any KD and DM related topic, which might include, but are not
limited to the following:
Rule Induction
Classification
Clustering
Summarisation
Learning Systems
Inductive Logic Programming
Pattern Recognition
Predictive Modelling
Neural Networks
Client/Server Systems
Intelligent Agents
Knowledge Acquisition
Decisional Data Analysis
Visualisation
Dependency Detection
Uncertainty Handling
Sequence Processing
Regression Methods for Prediction
Database issues in Data Mining
Since PADD97 focuses on the real-world benefits of KD and DM technology,
preference will be given to papers describing fielded applications,
especially in the business arena. Also of interest are descriptions of
advanced prototypes, tools and techniques, and general survey papers which
indicate the future direction this important technology will take. Authors
must clearly state whether the systems described are in routine use, and
discuss the criteria used for assessing the performance of both fielded
systems and advanced prototypes.
Dates:
Submission Deadline: November 29th, 1996
Notification: January 31st, 1997
Final Papers due: February 28th, 1997
