To encourage interaction and
exchange of ideas, the workshops will be kept small, with 20-35 participants.
Attendance is limited to active participants only. The format of
the workshop presentations will be determined by the organizers.
Organizers are encouraged to leave ample time for general discussion.

-
An indication as to whether
the workshop should be considered for a half day or one day meeting.
We welcome proposals that explore
the frontiers of KDD research as well as novel application domains.
Submissions that link KDD technology to specific problems in the Pacific
Rim are particularly encouraged.
Submissions
Workshop proposals
should be submitted as soon as possible but no later than Nov. 5, 2001.
