The IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM) has established itself as the world's
premier research conference in data mining. The 10th edition of ICDM (ICDM '10) provides a
leading forum for presentation of original research results, as well as exchange and dissemination
of innovative, practical development experiences. The conference covers all aspects of data mining,
including algorithms, software and systems, and applications. In addition, ICDM draws researchers
and application developers from a wide range of data mining related areas such as statistics, machine
learning, pattern recognition, databases and data warehousing, data visualization, knowledge-based
systems, and high performance computing. By promoting novel, high quality research findings, and
innovative solutions to challenging data mining problems, the conference seeks to continuously advance
the state-of-the-art in data mining. Besides the technical program, the conference will feature
workshops,tutorials, panels, and the ICDM data mining contest.

Paper Submissions
*****************

High quality papers in all data mining areas are solicited. Original papers exploring new directions will
receive especially careful consideration. Papers that have already been accepted or are currently under
review for other conferences or journals will not be considered for ICDM '10.

Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 10 pages in the IEEE 2-column format
(http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). All papers will be double-blind reviewed by the
Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance to data mining, originality, significance, and
clarity. Papers that do not comply with the Submission Guidelines
(http://datamining.it.uts.edu.au/icdm10/index.php/paper-submissions/submission-guidelines)
will be rejected without review.

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society
Press and accorded oral presentation times in the main conference. Submissions accepted as
regular papers will be allocated 10 pages in the proceedings. Submissions accepted as short
papers will be allocated 6 pages in the proceedings and will have a shorter presentation time
at the conference than regular papers.

A selected number of IEEE ICDM '10 accepted papers will be invited for possible inclusion,
in expanded and revised form, in the Knowledge and Information Systems journal published
by Springer-Verlag.

papers to ICDM2010.

ICDM Best Paper Awards
**********************
IEEE ICDM Best Paper Awards will be conferred at the conference on the authors of (1) the
best research paper, (2) the best application paper, and (3) the best student paper. Strong,
foundational results will be considered for the best research paper award and application
-oriented submissions will be considered for the best application paper award. The best
student paper award will be given to the authors of the best paper written solely by one
or more students.

Workshops and Tutorials
***********************
ICDM '10 will host short and long tutorials as well as workshops that focus on new research
directions and initiatives. All accepted workshop papers will be included in a separate
workshop proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

ICDM Data Mining Contest
************************
ICDM '10 will host a data mining contest to challenge researchers and practitioners with a
real practical data mining problem. For further details on proposals and expression of
interest, please click here (http://datamining.it.uts.edu.au/icdm10/index.php/call-for/icdm-contest-call-for-proposal) to see Call for Data Mining Contest Proposals.

ICDM Data Mining demos and exhibits
************************
ICDM '10 will host demos and exhibits. The exhibitors will be given the opportunity to distribute product,
service, and company literature, give demonstrations and carry out recruitment activities.
Demos are solicited for demonstrating data mining software systems and libraries closely related
to the area of data mining and knowledge discovery, or showing new
technological advances in applying data mining techniques.

Topics of Interest
*****************
Topics related to the design, analysis and implementation of data mining theory, systems and
applications are of interest. These include, but are not limited to the following areas: data
mining foundations, mining in emerging domains, methodological aspects and the KDD process,
and integrated KDD applications, systems, and experiences. A detailed listing of specific
topics can be found at the conference website (http://datamining.it.uts.edu.au/icdm10/index.php/topic-of-interest).
