Connectionists: PAKDD 2020 Call for Workshops

[Lu, Wei]

CALL FOR WORKSHOPS

The Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD)
is one of the longest established and leading international conferences in
the areas of data mining and knowledge discovery.  It provides an
international forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share
their new ideas, original research results, and practical development
experiences from all KDD related areas, including data mining, data
warehousing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, databases,
statistics, knowledge engineering, visualization, decision-making systems,
and the emerging applications.

PAKDD 2020 seeks workshop proposals on foundational and emerging topics in
areas related to data mining. The PAKDD workshops provide an informal and
vibrant opportunity for researchers and industry practitioners to share
their research positions, original research results and practical
development experiences on specific challenges and emerging issues. Each
workshop should be focused on a cohesive theme so that participants can
benefit from interaction with each other.

A list of topics (non-exhaustive) includes:

● Foundational topics in data mining

● Big data mining/platform

● Data mining on specialized data types: graphs,
structured/unstructured/semi-structured data, streaming data, time series,
spatial-temporal data, text, multimedia, social networks, etc.

● Data mining in specific disciplines or interdisciplinary topics: biology,
ecology, e-government, environmental sciences, finance, healthcare,
manufacturing, social sciences, etc.

● Data mining on cloud computing

● Data mining and privacy

● Data mining and security

● Data analysis and mining for new applications: smart devices, smart
grids, smart homes, etc.

● Data analytical processing

● Emerging topics such as fairness-aware data mining, massive open online
courses, data mining for sustainability, social informatics, etc.

The organizers and chairs of the workshop shall have full control on the
call for papers, formation of program committees, reviewing and selection
of papers as well as planning the workshop program. HOWEVER, the program
committee chairs are not allowed to submit papers to the workshops to
ensure a fair review process.

IN ADDITION, the chairs must include the following statement in the
workshop CFP:

“Submitting a paper to the workshop means that the authors agree that at
least one author should attend the workshop to present the paper, if the
paper is accepted. For no-show authors, their affiliations will receive a
notification.”

The registration fees for workshops will be determined by the conference
(not the workshop itself). The fees will be paid to the conference, and the
conference will provide workshop facilities including working notes
printing, meeting room, coffee break, lunch, proceedings, etc.

Each workshop will have a right to include its outstanding papers in a
LNCS/LNAI post Proceedings of PAKDD Workshops published by Springer. Under
the program, the workshop chair must organize a review committee to select
the outstanding papers from the papers presented in the workshop. Based on
the reviews, each selected paper should be further improved for the camera
ready version. A detailed schedule of due dates for the paper selection and
the collection of the camera ready versions will be announced immediately
after the workshop announcement. Prospective workshop organizers should
send a proposal (maximum three pages) with the following sections to
pakdd-2020-workshop-chairs at googlegroups.com

● Title of the workshop

● Objectives, scope, and contribution to the main conference

● Names and contacts of key organizers and a tentative list of members of
the program committee, along with links to their webpages

● Expected number of papers, attendees, and preliminary workshop format

● Workshops will have either a full day or a half day format. Prior
discussion of candidate workshop organizers with the workshop co-chairs is
strongly encouraged.
