CALL FOR PAPERS - DEADLINE EXTENDED (Apologies in advance if you receive multiple copies) Due to the damage to New Orleans caused by the hurricane Katrina, the ICDM Steering Committee has relocated the conference to Houston, Texas, for the same dates and times. October 9 - new submission deadline for: IEEE Workshop on Knowledge Acquisition from Distributed, Autonomous, Semantically Heterogeneous Data and Knowledge Sources (http://www.cild.iastate.edu/events/ICDM2005Workshop.html), Huston, Texas, USA, November 27, 2005 Organized in conjunction with The Fifth IEEE International Conference on Data Mining, Huston, Texas, USA, 2005 (http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~icdm05/) Workshop Goals The workshop aims to bring together researchers in relevant areas of artificial intelligence (machine learning, data mining, knowledge representation, ontologies), information systems (information integration, databases, semantic Web), distributed computing, and selected application areas (e.g., bioinformatics, security informatics, environmental informatics) to address several questions that arise in the process of knowledge acquisition from distributed, autonomous, semantically heterogeneous data and knowledge sources. Topics of Interest Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: Challenges presented by emerging data-rich application domains such as bioinformatics, health informatics, security informatics, social informatics, environmental informatics. Knowledge discovery from distributed data (assuming different types of data fragmentation, e.g., horizontal or vertical data fragmentation; different hypothesis classes, e.g., naοve Bayes, decision tree; different performance criteria, e.g., accuracy versus complexity versus reliability of the model generated, etc.). Making semantically heterogeneous data sources self-describing (e.g., by explicitly associating ontologies with data sources and mappings between them) in order to help collaborative science . Representation, manipulation, and reasoning with ontologies and mappings between ontologies. Learning ontologies from data (e.g., attribute value taxonomies). Learning mappings between semantically heterogeneous data source schemas and between their associated ontologies. Knowledge discovery in the presence of ontologies (e.g., attribute value taxonomies) and partially specified data (data described at different levels of abstraction within an ontology)? Online query relaxation when an initial query posed to the data sources fails (i.e., returns no tuples), or equivalently, query- driven mining of the individual sources that will result in knowledge that can be used for query relaxation. Submission Instructions Postscript or PDF versions of papers, no more than 10 pages long (including figures, tables, and references) in the ICDM camera-ready format (IEEE 2-column format), should be submitted electronically to kadash-icdm05@cs.iastate.edu by October 9, 2005. Each paper will be rigorously refereed by at least 2 reviewers for technical soundness, originality, and clarity of presentation. Accepted papers will be included in informal workshop proceedings published by ICDM and distributed at the workshop. Additional details about the workshop are available at: http://www.cild.iastate.edu/events/ICDM2005Workshop.html Important Dates October 9: Paper Due October 16: Notification October 22: Camera Ready Due Nov. 27: Workshop Organizing Committee Doina Caragea, dcaragea@cs.iastate.edu Iowa State University Vasant Honavar, honavar@cs.iastate.edu Iowa State University Ion Muslea, imuslea@languageweaver.com Language Weaver, Inc.
