Conference Scope

The Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD) is a leading international conference in the areas of data mining and knowledge discovery (KDD). It provides an international forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share their new ideas, original research results and practical development experiences from all KDD related areas, including data mining, data warehousing, machine learning, aritificial intelligence, databases, statistics, knowledge engineering, visualization, and decision-making systems.

The conference calls for research papers reporting original investigation results and industrial papers reporting real data mining applications and system development experience.

The conference will confer a Best Paper Award to the best full paper, and the Best Student Papers from amongst the student submissions. The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer as a volume of the LNAI series.

PAKDD2011 will be held in Shenzhen, one of the most attractive cities in China.

About Shenzhen

Shenzhen is located in the Guangdong province of southern China, bordering the New Territories of Hong Kong. As one of China's first Special Economic Zones, Shenzhen was built from a small fishing village 30 years ago to a modern city with a population of more than 10 million. Shenzhen is mainland China's southern financial center and the home of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and many of China's best known high-tech companies such Huawei, ZTE and Tencent. In 2009, Shenzhen's GDP was ranked no. 4 in mainland China.

Shenzhen is tourist attraction city with many famous theme parks. Splendid China and China Folk Culture Villages introduce visitors to China's long history and varied cultures, while Windows of the World will take you to every corner of the world in one day. Happy Valley, the largest of Shenzhen City's theme parks is located on the picturesque coastline with luxurious hotels, scenic views and various entertainment activities.

Shenzhen is a migrant city with people from all parts of China. More and more foreigners from all over the world work or visit Shenzhen. Shenzhen famous shopping and dining attracts many people from Hong Kong each day. Goods and services are comparatively cheaper than those in Hong Kong. Restaurants serve various cuisines from the provinces of China, such as hot and spicy specialties of Sichuan and Hunan provinces, cold dishes of northeast China and the perennial Cantonese meals which are all favorite dishes of the locals. Japanese and Thai restaurants are also becoming popular.

Shenzhen weather is mild, with plentiful sunshine and rainfall all year round due to its subtropical marine climate. The temperature is 22.4°C (72.32°F) on average.

Shenzhen Baoan International Airport connects to all major cities in China and several regions and countries in Asia. International travelers can use Hong Kong International Airport to come to Shenzhen. Transportation is available from Hong Kong International Airport to the Shenzhen border.

The conference will arrange accommodations at different cost levels.

Paper Submission

Each paper should consist of a cover page with title, authors' names, postal and email address, and an abstract with up to 200-words, up to 5 keywords and a body not longer than 12 single-spaced pages with font size at least 11 pts. Authors are strongly encouraged to use Springer LNCS/LNAI manuscript submission guidelines for their initial submissions. All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format only, using the conference management tool. Detailed instructions will be available at the conference website http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pakdd2011.

The submitted papers must not be previously published anywhere, and must not be submitted to any other conferences before and during the PAKDD review process. A journal submission may be concurrent, but would be expected to have significant additional material not in the conference submission, and the final revision should not have been submitted until the PAKDD reviews have been made available to the authors. Ideally the final journal version should be prepared after the conference so that feedback from the conference can be included. Submitting a paper to the conference means that if the paper were accepted, at least one author will attend the conference to present the paper. For no-show authors, their affiliations will receive a notification.

Before submitting your paper, please carefully read and agree with the PAKDD submission policy and no-show policy: http://pakdd.togaware.com/policy.html
