------------ Call for Workshops and Mini-symposia ------------

The SDM17 organizing committee invites proposals for workshops and
mini-symposia to be held in conjunction with the conference. The purpose of
a workshop is to provide participants with the opportunity to present and
discuss novel research ideas on active and emerging topics of knowledge
discovery and data mining. Ideally a workshop should foster interactions
between different communities within the scope of SDM (e.g., statisticians,
computer scientists, industry, academia etc.). A workshop should not be a
mini-conference, but rather it should encourage the presentation of novel
ideas, even if they are in an early stage of development, contact between
different points of view, and active exchanges between participants.
Therefore publishing notes is optional for the SDM workshops.

The responsibilities of the workshop organizers include:


   1.

   preparing the call for papers and publicizing it
   2.

   maintaining the workshop web site
   3.

   deciding the workshop program content; this may optionally include
   inviting speakers, inviting reviewers, selecting the papers through a peer
   review process
   4.

   delivering the notes to the press in time (if the workshop organizers
   decide to publish notes), and
   5.

   delivering the final workshop program to the workshop chair in time.


Workshop proposals should be prepared as a web page and its URL is sent via
e-mail to the SDM17 Workshop Co-Chairs: You will receive an acknowledgment
of receipt by email within 24 hours. Please contact us if you do not
receive a receipt within 24 hours. Please send the URL to the workshop
co-chairs Leman Akoglu and Arthur Zimek at sdm2017workshops at gmail.com by
October 8, 2016 11:59 PM (US Pacific Time).

A workshop proposal should include the following information:


   1.

   Workshop title
   2.

   Full contact information of the organizers
   3.

   A description of the workshop including objectives, content, topics of
   interest.
   4.

   A description of the format (e.g., invited talks, round table, accepted
   presentations, etc.) should be included. Please indicate your preference
   regarding the length of the workshop: Half-day or full-day.  If you are
   only interested in hosting a full day workshop then please indicate so.
   5.

   A short description of the target audience.
   6.

   List of potential participants: For workshops this could include
   potential program committee members, potential authors and invited speakers.
   7.

   A summary of previous editions of the workshop (if it was run before),
   with an emphasis on number of attendees and paper submissions.
   8.

   A short biography of each organizer (please include your experience on
   organizing workshops and conferences).


The SDM17 organizing committee also invites proposals for mini-symposia. A
mini-symposium is a session of several coordinated (invited) presentations
of substantial interest and importance in the areas covered by SDM. It is
expected that a mini-symposium targets a broad research area and at the
same time focuses on a few specific and emerging subjects within the area.
In conducting the mini-symposium, the session organizer(s) should provide
an overview of the mini-symposium, introduce the speakers, and provide an
opportunity for discussion among the speakers and the audience. The
organizer(s) themselves may also be one of the speakers. Organizer(s) will
select the topics to be addressed, invite speakers for those topics, decide
with the speakers on the title of their presentation, and provide other
information as needed. A mini-symposium proposal should follow the same
guidelines given for workshops above.

SIAM and the conference organizing committee will not be able to waive the
registration fee for mini-symposium organizers and speakers, or reimburse
their expenses. Therefore, organizers should make no financial commitments
on behalf of SIAM to speakers when organizing their mini-symposium.

Proposals will be judged by a sub-committee of the SDM17 organizing
committee based on the above information. Particular preference will be
given to proposals that demonstrate the ability to foster interactions
among multiple communities, as noted above. We prefer workshops /
mini-symposia in which there is participation of diverse people who may not
have worked with one another in the past, or which bridge between
traditional SDM topics and communities and other fields. External sources
of funding or sponsorship for special events held along with the
workshop/mini-symposium (e.g. invited talks, poster session) can be
optionally included in the proposal submission.

For any question regarding the workshops for SDM17, please contact the
workshop co-chairs (by email at sdm2017workshops at gmail.com)
