SCOPE

The dramatic evolution in the availability of data in various forms from various sources is creating many fundamental challenges in computing, communication, storage, and human computer interaction issues for data mining. Several novel data mining application areas are fast emerging. These developments call for new perspectives and new approaches.

The National Science Foundation Workshop on Next Generation Data Mining (NGDM'02) will bring together data mining researchers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds for exploring the challenges and future research directions in data mining.

The NGDM02 will focus on the following areas:

1) Data Mining for Pervasive, Distributed, and Stream Applications
2) Data mining for Counter-terrorism
3) Scientific Data Mining
4) The Web, Semantics, and Data Mining

Even though these issues seem disparate, they are closely intertwined. For instance, electronic and signal intelligence data which needs to be mined for counter terrorism is often composed of several data streams collected in a distributed environment. Similarly, scientific data mining may benefit from high throughput online algorithms and semantics. The workshop will have single track, and all participants are expected to contribute in each of the areas.

Format of the Workshop:

1. Invited Presentations
2. Regular Presentations
3. Panel and Open Discussions
4. Poster and demo session
 

CALL FOR PAPERS (Regular Presentations)

We would like to invite paper submissions from data mining researchers and practitioners. The papers should be relevant to the focus areas of NGDM'02. The papers must present innovative research directions that may be suitable for the agenda of the workshop---next generation data mining challenges. Submitted papers should not exceed 10 pages. The workshop will accept only electronic submission of papers in PDF or Postscript format to hillol@cs.umbc.edu with "NGDM02 Submission" in the subject line. The papers will be included in the NSF Workshop Report. The workshop will also produce an edited book published by the AAAI/MIT Press. Extended versions of the selected papers will be included in the book.

Latex style files for the workshop proceedings can be found here .

CALL FOR DEMOS

Please send demo proposals by e-mail to hillol@cs.umbc.edu with "NGDM02 Demo Proposal" in the subject before September 20, 2002.
