AusDM 2011

Ninth Australasian Data Mining Conference: AusDM 2011

1 - 2 December, 2011 at University of Ballarat, Mt. Helen Campus, Ballarat.

Ballarat

Scope of the conference:

We are calling for papers, both research and applications, and from both academia and industry, for presentation at the conference. All papers will go through double–blind, peer–review by a panel of international experts. Accepted papers will be published in an up–coming volume (Data Mining and Analytics 2011) of the Conferences in Research and Practice in Information Technology (CRPIT) series by the Australian Computer Society which is also held in full–text on the ACM Digital Library and will also be distributed at the conference. For more details on CRPIT please see http://www.crpit.com. Please note that we require that at least one author for each accepted paper will register for the conference and present their work.

AusDM invites contributions addressing current research in data mining and knowledge discovery as well as experiences, novel applications and future challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

Applications and Case Studies — Lessons and Experiences

Business Analytics

Computational Aspects of Data Mining

Data Integration, Matching and Linkage

Ballarat

Submission of papers for review:

The length of the submissions is not restricted. We encourage submissions of up to 8–12 pages. We will use a double-blinded review process, i.e. paper submissions must NOT include authors names or affiliations (and also not acknowledgements referring to funding bodies). Self-citing references should also be removed from the submitted papers (they can be added on after the review) for the double blind reviewing purpose.

Paper submissions are required to follow the general format specified for papers in the CRPIT series by the Australian Computer Society. Details are available from http://crpit.com/AuthorsSubmitting.html. LaTeX styles and Word templates may be found on this site. LaTeX is the suggested typesetting package. Electronic submissions should be in PDF and made through the EasyChair page at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ausdm11.
