ECML/PKDD 2014 Call for Panel Organizers

[ECML PKDD]

CALL FOR PANEL ORGANIZERS

ECML PKDD will include panels on topics of interest for the audience. The
Panel Chairs are Jose Balcazar and Sergei Kuznetsov.

Many hot topics related to research in Machine Learning and Knowledge
Discovery are worthy of ample discussion within our community. Setting
priorities for our research, identifying appropriate topics and partners
(whether academic or industrial) for cooperation in our subsequent project
applications, balancing topic coverage within courses we teach, and
assessing the impact of our own recent research contributions are just some
of the personal decisions many of us make that would benefit from a Panel
at our conference. Example topics could be cases where our community is
cordially split among several substantially different avenues to tackle the
same problem, or among several theoretical or practical problems deeply
interrelated, or among various perspectives to focus teaching activities.
All this is intended to suggest ideas but is by no means limiting!

If you are interested in proposing a panel on some specific topic, we want
to encourage you to submit a Panel Proposal. Proposals are free text as
there is no form, but, naturally, we expect each Panel Proposal to indicate
the name(s) of the Panel Organizer(s), identify clearly the topic of the
panel, contribute an explanation of its interest that would look enticing
for ECML PKDD registrants to attend the corresponding Panel Session, and
describe the specific contents of the Panel: names of panelists who may
have accepted to participate (conditioned to acceptance of the Panel
Proposal, of course), names of panelists who would be contacted and asked
to participate, potential replacements in case they decline, maybe somewhat
novel formats like some respected researcher, or teacher, or representative
of a company, not present personally, being displayed through a short video
and giving some question to ponder or some statement to discuss; or
whatever related ideas the Panel Organizers may wish to suggest. We expect
each proposal to fit comfortably within one to three pages of text with
usual font and margins.

The Panel timeline is as follows:

Proposal deadline: June 6, 2014

Decision of acceptance or rejection: June 25, 2014

Panel proposals should be sent by email to both Panel Chairs (preferably
simultaneously) using the addresses jose.luis.balcazar at upc.edu and
skuznetsov at yandex.ru, written in a simple, open, and common format such
as .txt or .pdf (please avoid .doc).
