The IEEE International Conference on Data Mining series (ICDM) has
established itself as the world's premier research conference in data
mining. It provides an international 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. 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 features workshops, tutorials, panels and, since 2007, the
ICDM data mining contest.

Topics of Interest
******************

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Foundations, algorithms, models, and theory of data mining
* Machine learning and statistical methods for data mining
* Mining text, semi-structured, spatio-temporal, streaming, graph,
  web, multimedia data
* Data mining systems and platforms, their efficiency, scalability,
  and privacy
* Data mining in modeling, visualization, personalization, and
recommendation
* Applications of data mining in all domains including social, web,
  bioinformatics, and finance

Submission Guidelines
*********************

Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of ten (10) pages, in
the IEEE 2-column format (templates available at
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
),
including the bibliography and any possible appendices. Submissions
longer than 10 pages will be rejected without a review. All
submissions will be triple-blind reviewed by the Program Committee on
the basis of technical quality, relevance to data mining, originality,
significance, and clarity. Author names and affiliations must not
appear in the submissions, and bibliographic references must be
adjusted to preserve author anonymity. Accepted papers will be
published in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society
Press.

All manuscripts are submitted as full papers and are reviewed based on
their scientific merit. There is no separate abstract submission
step. There are no separate industrial, application, short paper or
poster tracks.

Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in online submission
system (https://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2015/icdm15/cbc_index.php). We
do not accept email submissions.

Repeatability
*************

Every effort should be made to enable the code and the datasets (or
their closest publicly available equivalents) and all relevant
parameter specifications available to reviewers and readers so that
the results can be independently replicated. While we cannot expect
*every* dataset used to be made public, it is in the best interest of
the authors to make as many as possible available (in the worst case,
a sampled or an anonymized version). To retain anonymity of
submissions, any such additional material should be anonymized as
well, and be published on an anonymous website (such as DropBox). The
repeatability factor will play an important role in the reviewer's
assessment of the submission.

Best Paper Awards
*****************

Awards will be conferred at the conference on the authors of the best
research paper, the best application paper, and the best student
paper. A selected number of accepted papers will be invited for
possible inclusion, in an expanded and revised form, in the Knowledge
and Information Systems journal published by Springer-Verlag.

Attendance
**********

ICDM is forum for presenting and discussing current research in data
mining. Therefore, at least one author of an accepted paper must
complete a regular conference registration and present the paper in
the conference, in order for the paper to be included in the
proceedings and program.
