The 2006 IEEE / WIC / ACM International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM 2006)

Important Notice

The workshop paper submission due has been extended to 6 August 2006.

As an important part of the conference, the workshop program will focus on new research challenges and initiatives. All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be available at the workshops. Detailed information is available at the conference homepage.

Note: we will not have a separate workshop registration fee this year (i.e., conference registration covers everything).

Note: we will not have a separate workshop registration fee this year (i.e., only one conference registration covers everything).

For your information, the ICDM '06 conference will be co-located with the IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence (WI) and Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT) for providing synergism among the three research areas. It will provide opportunities for technical collaboration beyond that of previous conferences. The three conferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, and banquet. Attendees only need to register for one conference and can attend workshops, sessions and tutorials across the three conferences. We are also planning a joint panel and joint paper sessions that discuss common problems in the three areas.
