Last Call for Papers for ECML PKDD 2012

European Conference on Machine Learning and
Principals and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases

September 24-28, 2012 - Bristol, UK

http://www.ecmlpkdd2012.net/
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of
Knowledge Discovery in Databases (ECML PKDD) provides an international
forum for the discussion of the latest high-quality research results in all
areas related to machine learning and knowledge discovery in databases and
other innovative application domains.

Submissions are invited on all aspects of machine learning, knowledge
discovery and data mining, including real-world applications.

The overriding criteria for acceptance will be a paper’s:
- potential to inspire the research community by introducing new and
relevant problems, concepts, solution strategies, and ideas;
- contribution to solving a problem widely recognized as both challenging
and important;
- capability to address a novel area of impact of machine learning and data
mining.

Other criteria are scientific rigour and correctness, challenges overcome,
quality and reproducibility of the experiments, and presentation.


*** Proceedings and Special Journal Issues ***

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture
Notes in Artificial Intelligence series (LNAI).
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit a significantly
extended version of their paper to two post-conference special issues of
the journals “Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery” and “Machine Learning“.


*** Submissions ***

All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled
online via the CMT conference management toolkit at
https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ECMLPKDD2012/.

The papers must be written in English and formatted according to the
Springer LNAI guidelines. Authors instructions and style files can be
downloaded at:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

The maximum length of papers is 16 pages in this format. Overlength papers
will be rejected without review.

Papers submitted should report original work; ECML-PKDD 2012 will not
accept any paper which, at the time of submission, is under review or has
already been accepted for publication in a journal or another conference.
Authors are also expected not to submit their papers elsewhere during the
review period. To minimize the impact of this constraint, a significant
proportion of rejected papers will be notified at the early notification
date.


*** Reviewing process ***

Papers submitted to ECML-PKDD 2012 will normally be reviewed by three
referees. The review process is single-blind (reviewer identities unknown
to authors) and there will be no opportunity for author rebuttal. This
decision was made to minimize reviewer workload and to concentrate it in
time, which may ultimately result in better quality reviews and decisions.
If necessary, a discussion will take place among the reviewers of a paper
until a decision is reached.


*** Key Dates ***

- Abstract submission deadline: Thu 19 April 2012
- Paper submission deadline: Mon 23 April 2012
- Early author notification: Mon 28 May 2012
- Regular author notification: Fri 15 June 2012
- Camera-ready submission: Fri 29 June 2012
