Issue Publication June 2006
SIGKDD Explorations is the official newsletter of ACM SIGKDD
(Special Interest Group on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining).
This special issue invites submissions concerning successful
application of data mining techniques
in the industry, from marketing to drug research.
The papers should report on real-world data mining projects showcasing
choices, strategies, success
and failure, i.e. lessons to learn.
>From its inception, the field of Data Mining has been guided by the
need to
solve practical problems. Successful cases of data mining application
in the industry are motivation
and inspiration not only to industry but also to research. This
special issue will highlight some of
the best deployed data mining systems.
Most operational industrial and scientific systems that involve data
mining to some extent are
likely to be acceptable. Systems that are responsible for mission
critical systems, medical
applications, cash flow, or applications that significantly benefit
humanity will be particularly
good candidates. If you are unsure as to the suitability of your
paper, please contact the
editors with your topic at the email address indicated below.
Topics include but are not limited to
- Genomics
- Inventory control
- Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
- ShopBots
- Recommendation systems
- Auction trading systems
- Clinical patient monitoring
- Seismic Data interpretation
- Survival analysis for medical procedures
- Climate analysis
- Correlates of genes with disease
- Dangerous Drug interactions
- Law enforcement applications
- Search Engine Marketing
- Food spoilage elimination
- Price optimization
- Data visualization in mission-critical user interfaces
- Text understanding
