Dear Researchers & Practitioners!

You are invited to participate in the 2006 International Conference on
Data Mining! DMIN'06 is an international conference held simultaneously
with 28 other joint conferences as part of WORLDCOMP'06, The 2006 World
Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied
Computing. WORLDCOMP'06 is one of the largest annual gatherings of
researchers and practitioners in computer science, computer engineering
and applied computing. Each of the joint conferences in WORLDCOMP is a
premier conference for presentation of advances in their respective
fields (for the complete list of joint conferences please see
www.dmin-2006.com ). The last set of conferences (DMIN'05 and
affiliated events) had research contributions from 76 countries and had
attracted over 1,500 participants. It is anticipated to have over 2,000
participants for the 2006 event.

You are invited to submit a draft paper via our website. All accepted
papers will be published in the respective conference proceedings. The
names of technical session/workshop organizers/chairs will appear on
the cover of the proceedings/books as Associate Editors.

solely theoretical research criteria, but will take general interest
and presentation stringer into consideration.


DRAFT PAPER
We welcome all contributions through theoretical research papers and
industrial reports and case studies on applications in form of regular
research papers of 7 pages IEEE style. In addition, we welcome student
research proposals as short papers of 4 pages plus plenary
presentations to receive guidance, online demonstrations of prototype
software systems of 1 page and presentation in informal poster
sessions. Accepted submissions include:
- regular research papers (max. 7 pages IEEE style, formal
presentation)
- regular industry & application reports (max. 7 pages IEEE style,
informal poster presentation)
- short research papers (max. 4 pages IEEE style, poster presentation)
- short industry & application reports (max. 4 pages IEEE style, poster
presentation)
- student research proposals (max. 4 pages IEEE style, formal
presentation)
- software demonstrations (max. 1 page IEEE style, poster presentation
/ online demonstration)
- posters (max. 1 page IEEE style, poster presentation)

Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper (between 1
to 7 pages, standard 2 column IEEE style) via our online submission
systems by Feb. 20, 2006. Online submissions of PDF-files via the
conference management system are encouraged. In selected exceptions an
E-mail submission as MS Word document or Adobe PDF formats or Fax or
postal submissions are also acceptable.

CAMERA READY PAPERS
The length of the camera ready papers accepted will be limited to 7
IEEE style pages. Standard IEEE templates & typing instructions,
copyright forms, conference registration forms etc. will be supplied
upon acceptance. After the conference, selected papers will be
considered for publication in appropriate journals and special issues.
All conference proceedings are considered for inclusion in major
database indexes that are designed to provide easy access to the
current literature of the sciences (e.g.: ISI Thomson Scientific, IEE
INSPEC ...). Presentation time and form will be limited to 20 minutes
depending on the submission category
