Workshop Description
 

Various data mining standards have matured and are now being deployed in a variety of products. With the maturity of standards, a variety of standards based data mining services and platforms can now be much more easily developed. Related fields such as data grids, web services, and the semantic web have also developed standards based infrastructures and services relevant to KDD. These new standards and standards based services and platforms have the potential for changing the way the data mining is used.

Talks in the workshop will cover current and emerging standards for statistical and data mining models, for data transformations, for building models, for workflow, and for related topics. In addition, the workshop will include talks on requirements and on standards based data mining services and platforms.

 
Workshop Format
 
Approximately half of the talks during the half day workshop will be invited and half will be selected from the submitted papers.
 
Submissions should be sent in ASCII or PDF format to workshop@ncdm.uic.edu with the subject line "DM-SSP 03 Workshop submission" by June 14, 2003. Submissions should be 3000 words or less.
 
All submissions will be reviewed by the organizers and by referees. Extended abstracts with a maximum of 3000 words will be included on the workshop web page, as well as an informal proceedings which will be distributed to all participants at the workshop.
 
For questions, please email workshop@ncdm.uic.edu with the subject line "DM-SSP 03 Workshop question".
