The IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM) has established
itself as the world's

premier research conference in data mining. The 10th edition of ICDM (ICDM
'10) 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 Christos Faloutsos <christos+@cs.cmu.edu> (CMU), Geoff
McLachlan<g.mclachlan@uq.edu.au> This

*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
'10.

Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 10 pages in the IEEE
2-column format <http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting>

(http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). All papers will be
double-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<http://datamining.it.uts.edu.au/icdm10/index.php/paper-submissions/submission-guidelines>

(
http://datamining.it.uts.edu.au/icdm10/index.php/paper-submissions/submission-guidelines)


will 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 '10 accepted papers will be invited for
possible inclusion,
in expanded and revised form, in the Knowledge and Information Systems
journal published
by Springer-Verlag.

Please click here

submit your
papers to ICDM2010.

*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.

*Workshops and Tutorials*
***********************
ICDM '10 will host short and long tutorials as well as 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.

*ICDM Data Mining Contest*
************************
ICDM '10 will host a data mining contest to challenge researchers and
practitioners with a
real practical data mining problem. For further details on proposals and
expression of
interest, please click here (

to see Call for Data Mining Contest Proposals.


*ICDM Data Mining demos and exhibits*
************************
ICDM '10 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.

*Topics of Interest*
*****************
Topics related to the design, analysis and implementation of data mining
theory, systems and
applications are of interest. These include, but are not limited to the
following areas: data
mining foundations, mining in emerging domains, methodological aspects and
the KDD process,
and integrated KDD applications, systems, and experiences. A detailed
