The IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM) has
established itself as the world's premier research conference in data
mining. The 11th edition of ICDM (ICDM '11) provides a leading forum
for presentation of original research results, as well as exchange and
dissemination of innovative, practical development experiences. The
conference covers all aspects of data mining, including algorithms,
software and systems, and applications. In addition, ICDM draws
researchers and application developers from a wide range of data
mining related areas such as statistics, machine learning, pattern
recognition, databases and data warehousing, data visualization,
knowledge-based systems, and high performance computing. By promoting
novel, high quality research findings, and innovative solutions to
challenging data mining problems, the conference seeks to continuously
advance the state-of-the-art in data mining. Besides the technical
program, the conference will feature invited talks from research and
industry leaders, workshops, tutorials, panels, and the ICDM data
mining contest.
Paper Submissions
*****************
High quality papers in all data mining areas are solicited. Original
papers exploring new directions will receive especially careful
consideration. Papers that have already been accepted or are currently
under review for other conferences or journals will not be considered
for ICDM '11.
Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 10 pages in the
IEEE 2-column format
be triple-blind reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of
technical quality, relevance to data mining, originality,
significance, and clarity. Papers that do not comply with the
Submission Guidelines
be rejected without review.
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by the
IEEE Computer Society Press and accorded oral presentation times in
the main conference. Submissions accepted as regular papers will be
allocated 10 pages in the proceedings. Submissions accepted as short
papers will be allocated 6 pages in the proceedings and will have a
shorter presentation time at the conference than regular papers.
A selected number of IEEE ICDM '11 accepted papers will be invited for
possible inclusion, in expanded and revised form, in the Knowledge and
by Springer-Verlag.

ICDM Best Paper Awards
**********************
IEEE ICDM Best Paper Awards will be conferred at the conference on the
authors of (1) the best research paper, (2) the best application
paper, and (3) the best student paper. Strong, foundational results
will be considered for the best research paper award and application
-oriented submissions will be considered for the best application
paper award. The best student paper award will be given to the authors
of the best paper written solely by one or more students.
Tutorials
*********
ICDM '11 will host short and long tutorials that focus on new research
directions and initiatives. The deadline for submission of tutorial
proposals is June 24, 2011.

Workshops
*********
ICDM '11 will host short and long workshops that focus on new research
directions and initiatives. All accepted workshop papers will be
included in a separate workshop proceedings published by the IEEE
Computer Society Press.
The deadline for workshop proposals is April 1, 2011. The deadline
for Workshop paper submissions is August 5, 2011.

ICDM Data Mining Contest
************************
ICDM '11 will host a data mining contest to challenge researchers and
practitioners with a real practical data mining problem.
For further details on the contest, please click here
ICDM Data Mining Demos and Exhibits
***********************************
ICDM '11 will host demos and exhibits. The exhibitors will be given
the opportunity to distribute product, service, and company
literature, give demonstrations and carry out recruitment activities.
Demos are solicited for demonstrating data mining software systems and
libraries closely related to the area of data mining and knowledge
discovery, or showing new technological advances in applying data
mining techniques.
