The IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (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 and practical
development experiences. The conference covers all aspects of data mining,
including algorithms, software, systems, and applications. ICDM draws
researchers, application developers, and practitioners from a wide range of
data mining related areas such as statistics, machine learning, pattern
recognition, databases, 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 advance
the state-of-the-art in data mining.



*Topics of Interest*

==============

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

o    Foundations, algorithms, models and theory of data mining, including
big data mining.

o    Machine learning and statistical methods for data mining.

o    Mining from heterogeneous data sources, including text,
semi-structured, spatio-temporal, streaming, graph, web, and multimedia
data.

o    Data mining systems and platforms, and their efficiency, scalability,
security and privacy.

o    Data mining for modeling, visualization, personalization, and
recommendation.

o    Data mining for cyber-physical systems and complex, time-evolving
networks.

o    Applications of data mining in social sciences, physical sciences,
engineering, life sciences, web, marketing, finance, precision medicine,
health informatics, and other domains.



We particularly encourage submissions in emerging topics of high importance
such as data quality, time-evolving networks, big data mining and
analytics, cyber-physical systems, and heterogeneous data integration and
mining.



*Submission Guidelines*

==============

Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of ten (10) pages, in the
IEEE 2-column format (link
<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 review. All submissions will
be triple-blind reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of technical
quality, relevance to scope of the conference, originality, significance,
and clarity. The following sections give further information for authors.



*Triple Blind Submission Guidelines*

==============

Since 2011, ICDM has imposed a triple blind submission and review policy
for all submissions. Authors must hence not use identifying information in
the text of the paper and bibliographies must be referenced to preserve
anonymity. Any papers available on the Web (including Arxiv) no longer
qualify for ICDM submissions, as their author information is already public.

*What is triple blind reviewing?*

The traditional blind paper submission hides the referee name from the
authors. The triple-blind paper submission and review, in addition, also
hides the authors’ names from the referees, and the referees’ names during
discussion. The names of authors and referees remain known only to the PC
co-chairs, and the authors names are disclosed only after the ranking and
acceptance of submissions are finalized. Although there is much debate on
the merits and perceived benefits of triple blind reviewing, these are not
discussed here. Our main purpose is to implement this policy in ICDM toward
understanding the influence of the authors’ identity, whether conscious or
unconscious, on the reviewer’s attitude toward a submission. Hence it is
imperative that all authors of ICDM submissions work on concealing their
identity in the content of the paper. It does not suffice to simply remove
the authors’ names from the first page.



*Best Paper Awards*

==============

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



*Attendance*

==============

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