Call For Tutorial and Workshop ProposalsThe ECML PKDD 2008 Organizing Committee invites proposals for full-day or half-day tutorials and workshops or a combination of these. Workshops and tutorials will be part of the main conference, and are free of charge to the attendees of the conference. Every workshop and tutorial will receive one free conference registration to be used by one of the organisers or an invited speaker of a workshop. Informal printed workshop proceedings and tutorial notes will be made available by ECML PKDD organizers. Key Dates
WorkshopsWorkshops provide an opportunity to discuss current and emerging topics in machine learning and/or data mining in an interactive atmosphere. Thus, any topic that is of current interest to a sufficient number of participants from the two communities could be the focus of a workshop. Workshops that bring together researchers and practitioners from different communities are especially encouraged. Each workshop should be well-focused, aim not to be a mini-conference, but attract a sufficiently large audience. At least one of the Workshop Chairs should be a knowledgeable person in the area of machine learning or data mining. TutorialsTutorials provide independent instruction on topics from the field of machine learning or data mining. Introductions to other research domains that could fertilize the machine learning/data mining field with new challenges or solutions are also welcome provided that there is a clear relation to machine learning/data mining. Each tutorial should be well-focused, attract a sufficiently large audience, cover the overall picture at an introductory level without a bias towards the work of one author, and be free of commercial or sales-oriented material. A tutorial should be presented by highly qualified persons with a demonstrable background and teaching experience in the tutorial area. SubmissionsProposals should contain the necessary information for the workshop chairs and reviewers to judge the importance, relevance, quality and community interest in the proposed tutorial/workshop. More detailed instructions are available here. Each proposal should be submitted by email to the ECML PKDD 2008 workshop and tutorial chairs who will review the proposals in close collaboration with the conference chairs and members of the program committee.
