*AusDM 2018 - Call For Tutorials*


AusDM (Australasian Data Mining Conference) <http://ausdm.org/> is a
premier Australasian conference that has been at the heart of both
practitioners and researchers in data mining community. It is a great
opportunity for the people in the field of data mining from Asia-Pacific
region as well as other countries to meet, discuss and showcase their
state-of-art and innovative work, ideas and activities related to data
mining, data analytics, and applications.


We invite tutorial proposals for AusDM 2018 <http://ausdm18.ausdm.org/>,
which will take place at Charles Sturt University’s Bathurst campus

We offer a waived registration fee for attendance to one presenter of each
accepted tutorial topic. To increase the exposure of presenters’ work, a
two-page extended summary of the accepted tutorial will be included in the
conference proceedings.


The accepted tutorial will be scheduled to present during AusDM 2018
conference as parallel sessions. It is mandatory for at least one speaker
of each accepted tutorial to attend and present the tutorial at AusDM 2018
conference. Otherwise, the accepted tutorial will be delisted from the
conference website and the two-page extended summary will be excluded from
the conference proceedings.
