             IEEE ICDM 2001: Call for Workshop Proposals
             *******************************************

As an important part of the 2001 IEEE International Conference on Data
Mining  (ICDM '01), the ICDM '01  workshops program will  focus on new
research challenges and initiatives in data mining.  It will provide a
venue for  several topical workshops on specific  data mining research
and/or  application  problems.  ICDM  '01 workshops  will  foster  the
discussion  of  exciting research  directions  and  works in  progress
through paper  presentations, round  table and panel  discussions, and
invited  talks.  We  especially  encourage workshop  submissions  that
capitalize  on the  location of  the conference  in  Silicon Valley by
targeting an audience from both industry and academia.

Workshop  chairs define  the  focus and  structure  of each  workshop.
Responsibilities  include   (1)  writing  the  call   for  papers  and
publicizing  it, (2)  selecting  the workshop  organizing and  program
committees, and (3) deciding the workshop program content.
