The International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM 2009) is the premier forum for the presentation of new advances and research results in the fields of theoretical, experimental, and applied Data Mining. The conference will bring together leading researchers, engineers and scientists in the domain of interest from around the world. Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to:

Data mining foundations
Novel data mining algorithms in traditional areas (such as classification, regression, clustering, probabilistic modeling, pattern discovery, and association analysis)
Models and algorithms for new, structured, data types, such as arising in chemistry, biology, environment, and other scientific domains
Developing a unifying theory of data mining
Mining sequences and sequential data
Mining spatial and temporal datasets
Mining textual and unstructured datasets
Distributed data mining
High performance implementations of data mining algorithms
Privacy- and anonymity-preserving data analysis

Mining in emerging domains
Stream Data Mining
Mining moving object data, RFID data, and data from sensor networks
Ubiquitous knowledge discovery
Mining multi-agent data
Mining and link analysis in networked settings: web, social and computer networks, and online communities
Mining the semantic web
Data mining in electronic commerce, such as recommendation, sponsored
web search, advertising, and marketing tasks

Methodological aspects and the KDD process
Data pre-processing, data reduction, feature selection, and feature transformation
Quality assessment, interestingness analysis, and post-processing
Statistical foundations for robust and scalable data mining
Handling imbalanced data
Automating the mining process and other process related issues
Dealing with cost sensitive data and loss models
Human-machine interaction and visual data mining
Integration of data warehousing, OLAP and data mining
Data mining query languages
Security and data integrity

Integrated KDD applications, systems, and experiences
Bioinformatics, computational chemistry, ecoinformatics
Computational finance, online trading, and analysis of markets
Intrusion detection, fraud prevention, and surveillance
Healthcare, epidemic modeling, and clinical research
Customer relationship management
Telecommunications, network and systems management
Sustainable mobility and intelligent transportation systems

Paper submission

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers including results, figures and references. Paper will be accepted only by electronic submission through the conference web site. Prospective authors are expected to present their paper at the conference.

Proposal for special session

The conference will include a number of special sessions. Proposal for special sessions must include a title, rationale, session outline, contact information for the session chairs, a list of authors who have agreed to present paper in the session, and abstract of each paper. If any of these requirements is missing in a proposal, it will not be accepted. Proposals for special sessions should be submitted to the conference secretariat before deadlines.
