ICDM '10: The 10th IEEE International Conference on Data Mining
*******************************************************

Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
December 14-17, 2010, Sydney, Australia
http://datamining.it.uts.edu.au/icdm10

The ICDM 2010 Exhibit and Demo sections will consist of an Exhibit Session and a Demo Session. The Exhibit Session will offer opportunities to distribute product, service, and company literature, give demonstrations and carry out recruitment activities. The Demo Session will provide data mining researchers and practitioners an exciting and highly interactive way to explore new ideas and results. Accepted demo papers will be published in the ICDM 2010 Workshops Proceedings.

Exhibits

General Exhibitors will be supplied with a standard table (180cm x 60cm) with fees.

• The first table will be charged US$1,000 and subsequent tables will be charged $500 each.

• All fees above are valid only if payment is received by 15 Sept 2010. After 15 Sept 2010 the fee will increase by 20%.

• Exhibitors will be responsible for any other equipment including all hardware and software required for their exhibits.

Benefits for an Exhibitor

• One company logo at the conference web-site (in the exhibit & demo section)

• Option to include flyers or CD in conference bag for an additional fee of $200 per item

• Complimentary coffee breaks

• Discounted registration fee for all team members manning the exhibit  
  

Exhibit proposals will be submitted to the Exhibit and Demo chairs by email. Please contact the Exhibit and Demo chairs for questions or proposals (contact information is below).

Demos

A demo is for: (1) demonstrating data mining software systems and libraries closely related to the area of data mining and knowledge discovery, (2) showing new technological advances in applying data mining techniques.  

Demo Proposal Preparation

• motivation for the demonstrated concepts,

• the design, development and functionality of their work in an interactive setting

• the significance of the contribution.

All demonstration submissions must be within four pages in IEEE proceedings style (double-column pages) and should include:

• Demonstration title

• Authors (name, affiliation, email, address, phone and fax)

• The corresponding author with her/his email address

• Abstract (max. 150 words)

• Keywords

• The category of the submission

• URL for the demo software (if available)

• Paper ID if the demo is related to a paper at the main conference

• Equipment you will bring (e.g., laptop, robot)

• Equipment you will need (e.g., table, poster board, power sockets)

• Special requirements (e.g., space for robot and if so how much, video projector)

• A discussion of the present state of your demo (e.g., ready to demonstrate now, but if not, include a realistic estimate for conclusion and what remains to be done before you have a demonstrable software/robotic system)

• A video presentation of your demo, in which you can showcase and explain its features, and the URL link where one can download the video of your demo  
  

The selection criteria for the demonstration proposals evaluation include:

• Relevance to ICDM

• Novelty of the application domain

• The technical advances and challenges

• Quality and soundness of the underlying technology

• Maturity of the (deployed) system

• Potential for public interaction

• The overall practical attractiveness of the demonstrated system

Demo Proposal submission:

Exhibit proposals will be submitted to the Exhibit and Demo chairs by email. (Note: Demo submissions to the Demonstrations Program are not blind)
Each accepted proposal will be provided a standard tabletop space with a table (180cm x 60cm) and two chairs.
