The organizing committee invites proposals for workshops and workshop mini-symposia to be held in conjunction with the conference. The purpose is to provide participants with the opportunity to discuss 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 mini-symposium can consist of invited talks. 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. As examples of typical SIAM mini-symposia, see the set of accepted mini-symposia at previous SIAM conferences:
SDM18 (https://archive.siam.org/meetings/sdm18/workshops.php)
SDM19 (https://www.siam.org/conferences/cm/program/workshops/sdm19workshops)
SDM21 (https://www.siam.org/conferences/cm/program/workshops/sdm21-workshops)
SDM22 (https://www.siam.org/conferences/cm/program/workshops/sdm22-workshops)

The responsibilities of the workshop organizers include:
- Preparing the call for papers and publicizing it.
- Maintaining the workshop web site.
- Deciding the workshop program content; this may optionally include inviting speakers, inviting reviewers, selecting the papers through a peer review process.
- Delivering the final workshop program to the workshop chair in time.

Proposal Format
A workshop proposal should include the following information:
1. Workshop title.
2. Full contact information of the organizers.
3. Description of the workshop including objectives, content, topics of interest.
4. Description of the format (e.g. invited talks, round table, accepted presentations, etc.) should be included. Please indicate your preference regarding the length of the workshop: Half-day or full-day. If you are only interested in hosting a full day workshop, please indicate so.
5. A short description of the target audience. List of potential participants. This could include potential program committee members, authors, and invited speakers.
6. A summary of previous editions of the workshop (if it was run before), with an emphasis on number of attendees and paper submissions.
7. A short biography of each organizer. (Please include your experience on organizing workshops and conferences).

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

The organizing committee also invites proposals for workshop mini-symposia. A mini-symposium is a session of several coordinated (invited) presentations of substantial interest and importance in the areas covered by SDM. It is expected that a mini-symposium targets a broad research area and at the same time focuses on a few specific and emerging subjects within the area. In conducting the mini-symposium, the session organizer(s) should provide an overview of the mini-symposium, introduce the speakers, and provide an opportunity for discussion among the speakers and the audience. The organizer(s) themselves may also be one of the speakers. Organizer(s) will select the topics to be addressed, invite speakers for those topics, decide with the speakers on the title of their presentation, and provide other information as needed. A mini-symposium proposal should follow the same guidelines given for workshops above.

Proposals will be judged by a sub-committee of the 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 and mini-symposia 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. 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.
