Key Dates
*************
Paper submission deadline: August 29, 2025
Notification to authors: September 15, 2025
Camera-ready deadline: September 25, 2025

Topics of Interest
*************
We highly encourage high-quality paper submissions on topics related to:
Continual Anomaly Detection: Adapting models to ongoing changes in data distribution while retaining past knowledge.
Open World Learning: Training models to recognize and adapt to new conditions with limited or no prior knowledge. This includes unsupervised, semi-supervised, and one-class learning.
Domain Adaptation: Transferring detection capabilities across different environments.
Challenging learning conditions: Handling missing data, imbalance, noise
Relevant topics also include open-world anomaly detection in challenging settings:
- Concept Drift and Data Stream Mining
- Multimodal and Multi-task Learning
- Federated, Decentralized, and Privacy-Preserving Approaches
- Active, Few-Shot, and Semi-Supervised Learning
- Anomalous Pattern Mining and Discovery
- Explainability in Continual Learning
- Large Language Models
- Graph Learning, Time Series, and Spatio-Temporal Learning
- Unsupervised, Contrastive, and Adversarial Learning
- Green AI and Model Compression for Learning in Constrained Environments
- Neural Architecture Search for Task Mapping
We welcome applied papers in key domains such as Cybersecurity, Finance, Sensor Networks, CyberPhysical Systems, Smart Grids, Medical Healthcare, and Social Networks.

Paper Submissions
*************
Authors are invited to submit original long papers (8 pages + 2 references) as well as short papers (4 pages + 2 references) that have not been previously published, and are not being considered for publication in any other forum.
Short papers should describe ongoing work, recent insights, or summaries of significant research, that address research problems targeting top-tier research venues. Short papers should be particularly well suited to poster presentations.
Papers should be formatted according to the IEEE 2-column conference template and should be properly anonymized following the triple blind ICDM policy. Accepted papers will be included in the ICDM Workshop Proceedings (separate from ICDM Main Conference Proceedings). The proceedings are published by IEEE and EI-indexed. Each accepted workshop paper requires a full registration.
A paid registration is required for every accepted workshop paper, regardless of whether the author presents in person or via video.
