*IMPORTANT DATES:*
*Workshop proposals due:* March 5, 2004

The KDD-2004 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. A workshop should also support the interaction
and feedback among topic specialists from academia,
industry and government.

The organizers of approved workshops are required
to announce the workshop and call for papers, gather
submissions, conduct the reviewing process and decide
upon the final workshop program. They must also prepare
an informal set of workshop proceedings to be distributed
with the registration materials at the conference. They
may choose to form organizing or program committees
for assistance in these tasks.

*PROPOSAL DETAILS*

Proposals should be no more than three pages in length
and must include the following:

   #  Description of the workshop topic and the associated research
issues
   #  Reasons why an ACM SIGKDD workshop on this topic should
take place
   #  Description of the anticipated target group(s) of attendees
   #  Contact information (address, email, phone) for all organizers,
      and specification of a designated primary contact person

The organizers are encouraged to provide the following
additional information if possible:
   #  A preliminary list of reviewers
   #  A list of potential authors
   #  A list of potential attendees

Proposers are encouraged to have their drafts reviewed by
potential workshop participants before submission.

Workshop proposals should be sent per e-mail to the Workshops
Chair, Myra Spiliopoulou (myra[AT]iti.cs.uni-magdeburg.de) by
March 5, 2004. Submissions must be either in PDF or in ASCII
format without markups.
