Scope and Topics
The IKM Workshop focuses on issues of discovering interesting and actionable knowledge from data. Theoretical advances, algorithms and systems, and application cases that make efforts to derive interesting knowledge from data are welcome contributions. One of the main goals of KDD is to find nuggets of useful knowledge that could influence or help users in a decision making process. This task can be viewed as searching in an immense space for possible workable, concrete, and profitable strategies to the decision-maker. In the last decade, KDD algorithms have made a tremendous progress and have been demonstrated to be of significant value in a variety of real-world applications. Nevertheless, there is a gap between the discovered patterns and the formulated solutions. Currently, this gap is filled by manual or semi-automatic analysis, which is time consuming, biased, limits the efficiency of KDD overall process and capabilities. The workshop invites papers on all aspects of diminishing the gap between the discovered results and actual action plans, including, but not limited to: # Intelligent Agent Technology # Intelligent Information Systems # Knowledge Representation and Integration # Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining # Knowledge Visualization Important Dates # Submission Deadline: April 30, 2009 # Authors Notification: May 26 - 31, 2009 Paper Submission Authors are invited to electronically submit their paper, written in English, presenting the results of original research or innovative practical applications relevant to the conference. Practical experiences with state-of-the-art methodologies are also acceptable when they reflect lessons of unique value to the conference attendees. # Paper format : IEEE CS format (8.5" x 11", two-column), Click here to download the IEEE CS format instructions # Paper length : Full paper (6-8 pages) / Short Paper (3-4 pages) # Submission website : https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=ikm2009 Post-Conference Publications Proceedings will be published by IEEE CS and indexed by IEE/INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISI. Selected papers will be fast-track reviewed for special issues in some eminent international journals.
