The 13th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD-09) is a major international
conference in the areas of data mining and knowledge discovery. 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, databases, statistics,
knowledge acquisition and automatic scientific discovery, data visualization, causal induction and knowledge-based
systems. The conference website is at http://www.pakdd2009.org.
PAKDD-09 will be held in Bangkok, Thailand. It is expected that there will be many attendees with strong interests
in learning about all aspects of data mining. As an integral part of PAKDD-09, we invite proposals for tutorials in all
areas of data mining, including introductory and overview tutorials as well as state-of-the-art tutorials and data
mining in-practice tutorials. Each tutorial will be presented in a 3 hours session.
