------------------------- CALL FOR WORKSHOPS -------------------------

Workshop Proposal Submission: October 15, 2021 11:59 PM (PDT)
Acceptance Notifications: Mid-November, 2021


DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------

The SDM22 organizing committee invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference. The purpose of a workshop is to provide participants with the opportunity to present and discuss novel research ideas on active and emerging topics of knowledge discovery and data mining. Ideally, a workshop should foster interactions between different communities within the scope of SDM (e.g. statisticians, computer scientists, industry, academia, etc.). 
A workshop can be in the form of either a traditional workshop (call for paper mode) or a mini symposium (invited talk mode). It should encourage the presentation of novel ideas, even if they are in an early stage of development, contact between different points of view, and active exchanges between participants. Therefore publishing notes is optional for the SDM workshops.

As examples of typical SIAM workshops, see the set of accepted workshops at previous SIAM conferences:

The responsibilities of the workshop organizers include:

 - preparing the call for papers and publicizing it,
 - maintaining the workshop website,
 - deciding the workshop program content,
 - inviting speakers, inviting reviewers, selecting the papers through a peer review process,
 - delivering the notes to the press in time (if the workshop organizers decide to publish notes), and
 - delivering the final workshop program to the workshop chair in time.


The responsibilities of the mini-symposium organizers include:

 - maintaining the workshop website,
 - deciding the workshop program content,
 - inviting speakers,
 - delivering the notes to the press in time (if the workshop organizers decide to publish notes), and
 - delivering the final workshop program to the workshop chair in time.


PROPOSAL FORMAT
------------------------------------------------------------

A workshop proposal should include the following information:
 
 Workshop title
 Full contact information of the organizers
 A description of the workshop including objectives, content, topics of interest
 A description of the format (e.g invited talks, round table, accepted presentations, etc)
 Preference regarding the length of the workshop: half-day or full-day
 A short description of the target audience
 List of potential participants (program committee members, potential authors and invited speakers)
 A summary of previous editions of the workshop (if it was run before), with an emphasis on number of attendees and paper submissions
 A short biography of each organizer (please include your experience in organizing workshops and conferences).
 
A mini-symposium proposal should include the following information (more information on mini-symposium can be found on: https://www.siam.org/Conferences/About-SIAM-Conferences/Conference-Guidelines/Detail/guidelines-for-preparing-a-minisymposium-proposal):

 Workshop title
 Full contact information of the organizer
 A description of the workshop including objectives, content, topics of interest
 A description of your mini-symposium in no more than 1,500 characters, including spaces (the summary should be written to attract those who specifically work on your topic as well as those who work in related areas)
 A short description of the target audience
 Speakers (provide the full name, affiliation, and email address of each speaker and the title of his/her presentation. Presentation titles and abstracts should be added to the Conference Management System by the presentation abstract deadline)
 A short biography of each organizer (please include your experience in organizing workshops and conferences).

Proposals will be judged by a sub-committee of the SDM22 organizing committee based on the above information.

Particular preference will be given to proposals that demonstrate the ability to foster interactions among multiple communities, as noted above. We prefer workshops in which there is participation of diverse people who may not have worked with one another in the past, or which bridge between traditional SDM topics and communities and other fields. We also welcome proposals focusing on application issues or economical and social aspects of data mining. External sources of funding or sponsorship for special events held along with the workshop (e.g. invited talks, poster session) can be optionally included in the proposal submission.

For any questions regarding the workshops for SDM22, please contact the workshop co-chairs.
