Contributions describing applications of machine learning (ML) techniques to
real-world problems, interdisciplinary research involving machine learning,
experimental and/or theoretical studies yielding new insights into the design
of ML systems, and papers describing development of new analytical frameworks
that advance practical machine learning methods are especially encouraged.

Paper Submission
High quality papers in all Machine Learning areas are solicited. Papers that
present new directions will receive careful and supportive reviews. Authors are
expected to ensure that their final manuscripts are original and are not
appearing in other publications. Paper should be limited to 6 pages and
submitted in IEEE format (double column). Papers will be reviewed by the Program
Committee on the basis of technical quality, originality, significance and
clarity. All submissions will be handled electronically. Accepted papers will be
published in the conference proceedings, as a hardcopy. A selected number of
accepted papers will be invited for possible inclusion, in an expanded and
revised form, in some special journal issues.

ICMLA'10 Best Paper Award and ICMLA'10 Best Poster Award will be conferred at
the conference to the authors of the best research paper and best poster
presentation, respectively, based on the reviewers and Programme Committee
recommendations. Detailed instructions for submitting papers can be found at
http://www.icmla-conference.org/icmla10/CFP_PaperSubmission.html

Proposals for Special Sessions, Workshops and Tutorials
We invite submission of proposals for special sessions, workshops and tutorials.
Special sessions and workshops can be from ½ to 3 days long. Proposals should
include the following information:
- name and address of the proposer(s)
- title of the session/workshop/tutorial
- a description of the session/workshop/tutorial including the scope and aims
of the session/workshop/tutorial, a short bio of the organizer(s),
preliminary committee members.

Each special session/workshop will have at least five paper presentations.
Special session/workshop chairs will be responsible for soliciting the papers,
organizing the reviews, and making final decisions in consultation with the
conference chairs.

Special session/workshop proposals or Tutorial proposals can be submitted to:
