Call for Papers - DDDM 2008
The 2nd International Workshop on Domain Driven Data Mining
Pisa, Italy, December 15 or 19, 2008
In conjunction with IEEE ICDM'08
URL: http://datamining.it.uts.edu.au/dddm08/
********************************************************************

In the last decade, data mining has emerged as one of most vivacious
areas in information technology. Although many algorithms and
techniques for data mining have been proposed, it still remains an
open problem to successfully apply them to discovery actionable
knowledge in real-life applications in various domains.

The Second International Workshop on Domain Driven Data Mining
(DDDM 2008) aims to provide a premier forum for sharing findings,
knowledge, insight, experience and lessons in tackling potential
challenges in discovering actionable knowledge from complex domain
problems, promote the interaction of and fill the gap between data
mining research and business expectations, and drive a paradigm
shift from traditional data-centered hidden pattern mining to
domain-driven actionable knowledge discovery.

Topics of Interest
------------------
+ Domain driven KDD methodology, framework, system, infrastructure,
and project management
+ Domain driven data mining technologies and algorithms
+ Domain specific KDD process and data mining techniques
+ Involvement and integration of human intelligence, domain
intelligence, domain constraints and network intelligence in data
mining process
+ Formalization of domain knowledge, domain constraints and domain
intelligence
+ Modelling human intelligence, user preference, dynamic supervision
and human-mining interaction
+ Knowledge actionability/dependability/operationability, and the
integration of technical and business interestingness
+ Reliability, trust, privacy, utility and other organizational and
social issues in domain specific data mining
+ Domain specific data mining applications, such as web mining,
blog mining, security mining, taxation mining, scientific data
mining, and social network mining.

By Dr. Longbing Cao and Prof. Chengqi Zhang
University of Technology, Sydney, Australia


Submission Instructions
-----------------------
Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 10 pages in the
IEEE 2-column format, the same as the camera-ready format (see the

All papers accepted for the workshop will be included in the
ICDM'08 Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society
Press. Selected papers from the workshop will be invited for
consideration of publication in a planned special issue of IEEE
Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering (subject to approval
from TKDE).
