SDM'19: THE NINETEENTH SIAM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DATA MINING

May 2 - May 4, 2019

Calgary, Canada

https://www.siam.org/conferences/CM/Main/sdm19


------------ CALL FOR TUTORIALS ------------

The SDM19 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials to be held
in conjunction with the conference. Tutorials are an effective way to
educate and/or provide the necessary background to the intended audience
enabling them to understand technical advances. They will typically cover
state-of-the-art research, development and tools in a specific data mining
related area, and stimulate and facilitate future work.

For SDM19, we are seeking proposals for tutorials on all topics related to
data mining. A tutorial may be a theme-oriented comprehensive survey,
discuss novel data mining techniques or may center around a successful and
timely application of data mining in important areas (e.g., public health,
medicine, security, urban computing, the web, scientific data analysis).
Tutorials on interdisciplinary research topics, novel and fast growing
directions, and innovative applications are highly encouraged. We also
encourage tutorials in areas that are somewhat different from the usual SDM
mainstream, but still related to the objectives of discovering valuable
knowledge from data. As examples of typical SIAM tutorials, see the set of
accepted tutorials at previous SIAM conferences SDM14
<http://www.siam.org/meetings/sdm14/tutorials.php>, SDM15
<http://www.siam.org/meetings/sdm15/tutorials.php>, SDM16
<http://www.siam.org/meetings/sdm16/tutorials.php>, SDM17
<http://www.siam.org/meetings/sdm17/tutorials.php>, and SDM18
<http://www.siam.org/meetings/sdm18/tutorials.php>.



Tutorials are open to all conference attendees without any extra fees. The
typical tutorial will be 2 hours long (longer tutorials will be
considered). Previous SDM conferences attracted up to 100 attendees in a
tutorial.



Proposals should be submitted electronically with the subject header: “SDM
2019 Tutorial Proposal Submission” by October 5, 2018 11:59PM (US Pacific
Time) to: B. Aditya Prakash, Virginia Tech., USA (badityap at cs.vt.edu)



Proposals should be submitted in PDF format (for other formats please
contact the tutorial chair first).



Proposals should include the following:

   -

   Basic information: Title, brief description, name and contact
   information for each tutor, length of the proposed tutorial. If the
   intended tutorial is expected to take longer than 2 hours a rationale is
   expected.
   -

   Identify any other venues in which the tutorial, or a similar/highly
   related tutorial by the same authors, has been or will be presented, and
   highlight the similarity/difference between those and the one proposed for
   SDM19 (up to 100 words for each entry).
   -

   Audience: Proposals must clearly identify the intended audience for the
   tutorial (e.g., novice, intermediate, expert).
   -

      What background will be required of the audience?
      -

      Why is this topic important/interesting to the SIAM data mining
      community?
      -

      What is the benefit to participants?
      -

      Provide some informal evidence that people would attend (e.g.,
      related workshops).
      -

   Coverage: Enough material should be included to provide a sense of both
   the scope of material to be covered and the depth to which they will be
   covered. The more details that can be provided, the better (up to and
   including links to the actual slides or viewgraphs). Note that the tutors
   should not focus mainly on their own research results. If, for certain
   parts of the tutorial, the material comes directly from the tutors' own
   research or product, please indicate this clearly in the proposal.
   -

   Biographies: Provide brief biographical information on each tutor
   (including qualifications with respect to the tutorial's topic).
   -

   Optional: Video snippet of you teaching a tutorial or giving a talk.


Please note that all organizers of accepted tutorials are required to be
present and deliver the lectures in the conference.
