2015: International Conference on
Data Mining (DMIN'15)
SUBMISSION OF
DRAFT PAPERS FOR EVALUATION:
Prospective
authors are invited to submit their papers by uploading them
to the DMIN
evaluation web site according to the instructions at:
http://www.dmin-2015.com/submission.htm . Papers must not have been
previously
published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.
The first page
of the paper should include: title of the paper, name,
affiliation,
postal address, and email address for each author as well
as a maximum of
5 topical keywords that would best represent the content
of the paper.
The first page should also identify the name of the
Contact/Corresponding
author together with his/her professional email
address. A 100
to 150-word abstract should appear on the first page.
Authors are to
conform to the common CODE OF ETHICS FOR AUTHORS (The
document for the
Code of Ethics is available on the DMIN web site and
Each paper will
be peer-reviewed by at least two experts in the field for
originality,
significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases of
contradictory
recommendations, a member of the conference program
committee would
be charged to make the final decision (accept/reject);
often, this
would involve seeking help from additional referees. Papers
whose authors
include a member of the conference program committee will
be evaluated
using the double-blinded review process. (Essay/philosophical
papers will not
be refereed but may be considered for discussion/panels).
The proceedings
will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and
will also be
made available online. The printed proceedings/books will
be available for
distribution on site at the conference. The proceedings
will be indexed
in science citation databases that track citation
frequency/data.
The proceedings/books of the federated congress that
this conference
is part of have been evaluated for inclusion into major
science citation
index databases. We are happy to report that so far,
the evaluation
board of science citation index databases have approved
the indexing,
integrating, and inclusion of the following conference
tracks into
relevant indexing databases (indexing databases include,
among others:
Scopus, Engineering Village, EMBASE, and others):
BIOCOMP, DMIN,
GCA, ICAI, ICOMP, ICWN, IKE, IPCV, PDPTA, and SAM. All
proceedings are
also approved for inclusion into EBSCO (www.ebsco.com),
one of the
largest subject index systems. The titles of proceedings of the
federated
congress have been indexed into the ACM Digital Library
( http://dl.acm.org/ ) which includes bibliographic citations
from major
publishers in
computing.
In addition to
the above, we have arranged two new book series (multiple
books in each
series); one with Elsevier publishers (Emerging Trends in
Computer Science
and Applied Computing) and another with Springer
publishers
(Transactions of Computational Science and Computational
Intelligence).
After the conference (the process may take 12 to 18
months), a
significant number of authors of accepted papers of our
congress, will
be given the opportunity to submit the extended version
of their papers
for publication consideration in these books. We
anticipate
having between 10 and 20 books a year in each of these
book series
projects. Each book in each series will be subject to
Elsevier and
Springer science indexing products (which includes:
Scopus, www.info.scopus.com; SCI Compendex, Engineering Village,
a very small
subset of the books (and journal special issues) that have
been published
based on the extended versions of our congress papers,
see the link
below:
Some of these
books and journal special issues have already received
the top 25%
downloads in their respective fields - we already have a
number of
Elsevier and Springer books in the pipeline.
SUBMISSION OF
POSTER PAPERS:
Poster papers
can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same
instructions
that appear in section SUBMISSION OF DRAFT PAPERS FOR
EVALUATION -
except that the submission is limited to 2 pages. On the
first page, the
author should state that "This paper is being submitted
as a
poster". Poster papers (if accepted) will be published as such, if
and only if the
author of the accepted poster wishes to do so.
PROPOSAL FOR
ORGANIZING WORKSHOPS/SESSIONS:
The conference
is composed of a number of tracks. A track is a session,
a workshop, or a
symposium. A session will have at least 6 papers; a
workshop at
least 12 papers; and a symposium at least 18 papers. Track
chairs will be
responsible for all aspects of their tracks, including:
soliciting
papers, reviewing, selecting, ... The names of track chairs
will appear as
Associate Editors in the conference proceedings and on
the cover of the
printed books (and would be indexed in science databases
as such). Track
chairs who attract a sufficient number of solid papers
can propose to
edit books with a major publisher based on the extended
versions of the
papers accepted in their tracks (the conference will
facilitate and
help such track chairs to get the publisher's approval).
Proposals to
organize tracks (sessions, workshops, or symposiums) should
include the
following information: name and address (+ email) of proposer,
his/her
biography, title of track, a 100-word description of the topic of
the track (also
mention the name of this conference), and a short
description on
how the track will be advertised (in most cases, track
proposers
solicit papers from colleagues and researchers whose work is
known to the
track proposer). E-mail your track proposal to
We would like to
receive the track proposals as soon as possible
(preferably by
February 15, 2015.)

countries/territories. To get a feeling about the conferences'
atmosphere, see
some delegates photos available at:
http://worldcomp.phanfare.com/6626396 (to see a slide show, click on
"Start
SlideShow" tab at the url above.)
An important
mission of The Congress is "Providing a unique platform for
a diverse
community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers,
developers,
educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted
effort to reach
out to participants affiliated with diverse entities
(such as:
universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies,
and research
centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also
attempts to
connect participants from institutions that have teaching as
their main mission
with those who are affiliated with institutions that
have research as
their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to
achieve its
institution and geography diversity objectives."
One main goal of
the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated
research
conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated
research meeting
held in a common place at a common time. This model
facilitates
communication among researchers in different fields of computer
science,
computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also
encourages
multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives;
i.e.,
facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across
sub-disciplines.
