We invite you to attend
DMIN'12, the 2012 International
Conference on Data Mining! DMIN'12 offers a 4 day
single-track conference, keynote speeches by world renowned scientists,
special sessions and free tutorials on all aspects of data mining. In
the past, DMIN'11 has attracted
more than
60 presentations in formal sessions plus keynotes, and
excellent
tutorials,
with more than 100 attendees plus many more visitors from other WORLDCOMP
conferences.
DMIN'12 is part of WORLDCOMP'12. DMIN'12 is an international conference
for academics and practitioners held
simultaneously with 21 other joint conferences as part of
WORLDCOMP'12,
The 2012 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and
Applied Computing. WORLDCOMP'12 is one of the largest annual gatherings of
researchers and practitioners in computer science, computer engineering and applied
computing. Each of the joint conferences in WORLDCOMP is a premier
conference for presentation of advances in their respective fields, held
simultaneously in the same place to facilitate
cross-disciplinary knowledge transfer. The last offering
of WORLDCOMP (2011) attracted almost 2,000 computer
science and engineering researchers from 81 countries.
It is anticipated that WORLDCOMP'12 will attract over
2,000 participants. Participants range from established researchers on
Professorial level, starting researchers (post-doc, PhD, Masters and
Bachelor level) and contract researchers unto practitioners applying all
aspects of data mining in private or public companies or research
institutions. DMIN'12 attendees have full access to all sessions and
tutorials of all 22 conferences' sessions, tracks, and
planned tutorials (for
the complete list of joint conferences [click here])
as well as to the DMIN'12 social programme. WORLDCOMP is one of the largest annual
conferences and promises many opportunities to present
your work to an large, interdisciplinary audience and to
extend our professional network. Each
conference will have its own proceedings which will be
indexed.
An important mission of
WORLDCOMP is 'Providing a unique platform for a diverse
community of constituents composed of scholars,
researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners.
The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to
participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as:
universities, institutions, corporations, government
agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the
world. The congress also attempts to connect
participants from institutions that have teaching as
their main mission with those who are affiliated with
institutions that have research as their main mission.
The congress uses a quota system to achieve its
institution and geography diversity objectives. One
main goal of the congress 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. This model facilitates
communication among researchers in different fields of
computer science, computer engineering, and applied
computing. The Congress also encourages
multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research
initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities
for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines.'
DMIN'12 attracts quality papers & presentations.
DMIN accepts only high-quality papers for its conference proceedings,
which are subject to a thorough & objective review process of at least 2
independent reviewers (leading academics & practitioners).
Proceedings of DMIN will be published in printed
conference books (ISBN) and will also be made available
online. The proceedings will be indexed in science
citation databases that track citation frequency/data
for each published paper (science citation databases
such as: Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering &
Technology; The French National Center for Scientific
Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (covers the core
scientific literature in Science; about 90% of
inclusions are journals; only about 9% are proceedings;
worldcomp tracks are selected to be among the 9% -
accessable from INIST, Datastar, Dialog, EBSCO, OVID,
Questel.Orbit, Qwam, and STN International); and others.
Though, there is no guarantee that the proceedings will
also be included in EI Compendex/Elsevier indexings, in
the past, worldcomp tracks were included in these
databases. Therefore, we will also be sending the
proceedings for indexing procedures to EI Compendex/Elsevier.
The printed proceedings/books will be available for
distribution on site at the conference.
The DMIN conference has
been highly ranked in the past.
Please do not confuse DMIN with other "multi-conferences" with
approximately 100% acceptance
rates, although DMIN had
higher acceptance rates then KDD, ICDM, PAKDD or other exclusive
first-tier conferences in the past.

Measurable scientific impact of WORLDCOMP.
As of February 5,
2012, papers published in WORLDCOMP set of
proceedings have received 20,405 citations. In
recent months (November 23, 2011 to February 5,
2012; ie, in about 75 days), there had been 4,545
citations to WORLDCOMP papers (about 1,800 citations
per month). The above record
is significant (thanks to the authors). As the
result of high impact (based on citations) of
WORLDCOMP papers, "Microsoft Academic Search" has
listed each individual track of the congress among
its compiled list of "Top Conferences". The citation
record of WORLDCOMP set of proceedings is in fact
higher than the citation data of many reputable
journals in computer science and computer
engineering. Citation data was obtained obtained
from
http://academic.research.microsoft.com/).
