The ICDM conference invites panel proposals and believes panels provide opportunities to present discussions on important issues in the field, future and existing directions in research, late-breaking results, or other efforts that would benefit from discussion within the community. Successful panel proposals should involve a controversial or emerging topic and have articulate, entertaining panelists. Panel proposals must consist of a title, a 1-page extended abstract explaining the topic and goals of the session along with a list of titles of individual presentations and/or viewpoints and contact information for the organizer, moderator, and panelists. Abstracts of panels will appear in the proceedings. All contributions are to be submitted in electronic form via the ICDM conference web site and should adhere to the following dates:
Proposal should be sent to Dr. Lee Giles at giles @ ist . psu . edu
