Dear Researchers & Practitioners!

You are invited to participate in the 2007 International Conference on
Data Mining!

DMIN'07 is an international conference held simultaneously with 23
other joint conferences as part of WORLDCOMP'07, The 2007 World
Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied
Computing. WORLDCOMP'07 is the largest annual gathering of researchers
in computer science, computer engineering and applied computing.

The motivation 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. The main goal is to
provide a forum for exchange of ideas in a number of research areas
that interact. The model used to form these annual conferences
facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of
computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. Both
inward research (core areas of computer science and engineering) and
outward research (multi-disciplinary, inter- disciplinary, and
applications) will be covered during the conferences.

Each of the joint conferences in WORLDCOMP'07 is a premier conference
for presenting advances in their respective fields (for the complete
list of joint conferences please see www.dmin-2007.com). The last Joint
Conferences (WORLDCOMP'06) attracted over 1,700 researchers and
practitioners from 78 countries. It is anticipated that The
WORLDCOMP'07 will attract about 2000 participants. The WORLDCOMP'07 is
composed of 24 (planned) major conferences - attendees will have full
access to all 24 conferences' sessions, tracks, and tutorials
(planned). Each event is the premier conference for presentation of
advances in their respective subjects. All conferences will be held
simultaneously (same location and dates: June 25-28, 2007, Las Vegas,
USA).

You are invited to submit a draft paper via our website
www.dmin-2007.com. All accepted papers will be published in the
respective conference proceedings. The names of technical
session/workshop organizers/chairs will appear on the cover of the
proceedings/books as Associate Editors.

attractions, including: waterfalls, spa, pools & kiddie pools, sunning
decks, easy river water ride, wave pool with cascades, lighted tennis
courts, health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool, sauna, ...),
nightly shows, snack bars, a number of restaurants, shopping area, bars
etc. (most are open 24 hours a day and suitable for families &
children). The hotel is a few minutes from the airport with 24-hour
shuttle service to and from the airport. The hotel is within walking

DRAughsF/sT PAPER
We welcome all contributions through theoretical research papers and
industrial reports and case studies on applications in form of regular
research papers of 7 pages IEEE style. In addition, we welcome student
research proposals

Any chance of a short course for Felix Tit, so he can learn how to
programme his killfiles?

as short papers of 4 pages plus plenary presentations
to receive guidance - student research proposals

I feel most of my needs were covered in the 1990's but I have still to
get the hang of macros. Perhaps a short course for me to catch up on?

Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper (between 1
to 7 pages, standard 2 column IEEE style) via our online submission
system by Feb. 20, 2007. Online submissions of PDF-files via the
