DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------

The SDM22 organizing committee invites proposals for workshops 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 can be in the form of either a traditional workshop (call for
paper mode) or a mini symposium (invited talk mode). 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.

As examples of typical SIAM workshops, see the set of accepted workshops at
previous SIAM conferences:

The responsibilities of the workshop organizers include:

 - preparing the call for papers and publicizing it,
 - maintaining the workshop website,
 - deciding the workshop program content,
 - inviting speakers, inviting reviewers, selecting the papers through a
peer review process,
 - delivering the notes to the press in time (if the workshop organizers
decide to publish notes), and
 - delivering the final workshop program to the workshop chair in time.


The responsibilities of the mini-symposium organizers include:

 - maintaining the workshop website,
 - deciding the workshop program content,
 - inviting speakers,
 - delivering the notes to the press in time (if the workshop organizers
decide to publish notes), and
 - delivering the final workshop program to the workshop chair in time.


PROPOSAL FORMAT
------------------------------------------------------------

A workshop proposal should include the following information:

 Workshop title
 Full contact information of the organizers
 A description of the workshop including objectives, content, topics of
interest
 A description of the format (e.g invited talks, round table, accepted
presentations, etc)
 Preference regarding the length of the workshop: half-day or full-day
 A short description of the target audience
 List of potential participants (program committee members, potential
authors and invited speakers)
 A summary of previous editions of the workshop (if it was run before),
with an emphasis on number of attendees and paper submissions
 A short biography of each organizer (please include your experience in
organizing workshops and conferences).

A mini-symposium proposal should include the following information (more
information on mini-symposium can be found on:
https://www.siam.org/Conferences/About-SIAM-Conferences/Conference-Guidelines/Detail/guidelines-for-preparing-a-minisymposium-proposal
):

 Workshop title
 Full contact information of the organizer
 A description of the workshop including objectives, content, topics of
interest
 A description of your mini-symposium in no more than 1,500 characters,
including spaces (the summary should be written to attract those who
specifically work on your topic as well as those who work in related areas)
 A short description of the target audience
 Speakers (provide the full name, affiliation, and email address of each
speaker and the title of his/her presentation. Presentation titles and
abstracts should be added to the Conference Management System by the
presentation abstract deadline)
 A short biography of each organizer (please include your experience in
organizing workshops and conferences).

Proposals will be judged by a sub-committee of the SDM22 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 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. We also welcome proposals
focusing on application issues or economical and social aspects of data
mining. External sources of funding or sponsorship for special events held
along with the workshop (e.g. invited talks, poster session) can be
optionally included in the proposal submission.

For any questions regarding the workshops for SDM22, please contact the
workshop co-chairs.
