17 Sep '19

20th SIAM International Conference on Data Mining May 7 - May 9, 2020, Cincinnati, OH, USA ======================================== SDM 2020 - http://www.siam.org/meetings/sdm20 Call for Papers Scope ===== Data mining is the computational process for discovering valuable knowledge from data - the core of modern Data Science. It has enormous application in numerous fields, including science, engineering, healthcare, business, and medicine. Typical datasets in these fields are large, complex, and often noisy. Extracting knowledge from these datasets requires the use of sophisticated, high-performance, and principled analysis techniques and algorithms, which are based on sound theoretical and statistical foundations. These techniques in turn require implementations on high performance computational infrastructure that are carefully tuned for performance. Powerful visualization technologies along with effective user interfaces are also essential to make data mining tools appealing to researchers, analysts, data scientists and application developers from different disciplines, as well as usable by stakeholders. The SDM conference provides a venue for researchers who are addressing these problems to present their work in a peer-reviewed forum. It also provides an ideal setting for graduate students and others new to the field to learn about cutting-edge research by hearing outstanding invited speakers and attending presentations and tutorials (included with conference registration). A set of focused workshops is also held on the last day of the conference. The proceedings of the conference are published in archival form and are also made available on the SIAM web site. Topics of Interest ================== *Methods and Algorithms -Anomaly & Outlier Detection -Big Data & Large-Scale Systems -Classification & Semi-Supervised Learning -Clustering & Unsupervised Learning -Data Cleaning & Integration -Deep Learning & Representation Learning -Frequent Pattern Mining -Feature Extraction, Selection and Dimensionality Reduction -Mining Data Streams -Mining Graphs & Complex Data -Mining on Emerging Architectures & Data Clouds -Mining Semi Structured Data -Mining Spatial & Temporal Data -Mining Text, Web & Social Media -Online Algorithms -Optimization Methods -Parallel and Distributed Methods -Probabilistic & Statistical Methods -Scalable & High-Performance Mining -Other Novel Methods *Applications -Astronomy & Astrophysics -Automation & Process Control -Climate / Ecological / Environmental Science -Customer Relationship Management -Data Science -Drug Discovery -Finance -Genomics & Bioinformatics -Healthcare Management -High Energy Physics -Intelligence Analysis -Internet of Things -Intrusion & Fraud detection -Logistics Management -Recommendation -Risk Management -Social Network Analysis -Supply Chain Management -Other Emerging Applications *Human Factors and Social Issues -Ethics of Data Mining -Intellectual Ownership -Interestingness & Relevance -Privacy and Fairness Models -Privacy Preserving Data Mining -Risk Analysis and Risk Management -Transparency and Algorithmic Bias -User Interfaces and Visual Analytics -Other Human and Social Issues Submission URL ============== https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SDM2020 Workshop and Tutorials ====================== The conference will feature workshops and tutorials on several special topics.

(sorry for cross postings) ************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Session on High Performance Computing in Modelling and Simulation (HPCMS) Within PDP 2020 (www.pdp2020.com) The 28th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, and Network-Based Computing Västerås (Sweden) 11-13 March 2020 http://www.pdp2020.com/specialsessions/hpcms/hpcms.html New Extended Deadline: October 12th, 2019 Contact: William Spataro - spataro(a)unical.it ************************************************************************* AIMS AND SCOPE The development of models through which computers can simulate the evolution of artificial and natural systems is fundamental for the advancement of Science. In the last decades, the increasing power of computers has allowed to considerably extend the application of computing methodologies in research and industry, but also to the quantitative study of complex phenomena. This has permitted a broad application of numerical methods for differential equation systems (e.g., FEM, FDM, etc.) on one hand, and the application of alternative computational paradigms, such as Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence, etc., on the other. These latter have demonstrated their effectiveness for modelling purposes when traditional simulation methodologies have proven to be impracticable. Following the success of our past HPCMS workshops at PDP (since 2014), we are glad to invite you to our sixth edition which will take place in Vasteras (Västerås) (Sweden). An important mission of the HPCMS Workshop is to provide a platform for a multidisciplinary community composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, practitioners and experts from world leading Universities, Institutions, Agencies and Companies in Computational Science, and thus in the High Performance Computing for Modelling and Simulation field. HPCMS intent is to offer an opportunity to express and confront views on trends, challenges, and state-of-the art in diverse application fields, such as engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, medicine, ecology, sociology, traffic control, economy, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - High-performance computing in computational science: intra-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research applications - Complex systems modelling and simulation - Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence implementations - Integrated approach to optimization and simulation - MPI, OpenMP, GPGPU applications in Computational Science - Optimization algorithms, modelling techniques related to optimization in Computational Science - High-performance Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems - Hardware approaches of high performance computing in modeling and simulation IMPORTANT DATES (Extended) Paper submission: 12 October 2019 Acceptance notification: 30 October 2019 Camera ready due: 11 December 2019 Conference: 11 - 13 March 2020 Submission guidelines Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt). Double-bind review: the first page of the paper should contain only the title and abstract; in the reference list, references to the authors own work should appear as "omitted for blind review" entries. For submission, please use the following link and select the HPCMS session: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pdp2020 and select the "High Performance Computing in Modelling and Simulation" track. Manuscript submission Publication All accepted papers will be included in the same volume, published by the Conference Publishing Services (CPS).
