CALL FOR PAPERS
First International Workshop on the Integration of Knowledge Discovery
with Deductive and Object-Oriented Databases (KDOOD)
December 8, 1995, Singapore
OBJECTIVES
Knowledge discovery from databases and Deductive and Object-Oriented Databases
(DOOD) are two promising research areas that have so far been growing rather
independently of each other. However, lots of evidence suggests that the two
areas can be mutually beneficial. For example, DOOD techniques may be used
to facilitate knowledge discovery, whereas knowledge discovery techniques
may help knowledge-base construction, and thus enhance and/or challenge the
deductive and object-oriented database techniques. The objective of this
workshop is to explore how knowledge discovery and DOOD can be integrated.
FORMAT
The workshop will be held immediately following the DOOD'95 conference.
The plan is to have either a half-day or a full-day session depending on
the number of submissions and the level of participation. If the number of
submissions is large, we may categorize the papers in presentation papers,
poster papers and system/prototype descriptions/demonstrations. Proposals
for panel discussions are welcome. The final program of the workshop will
be decided only after all the papers have been reviewed. The program will
be formatted in a way that will encourage open discussions. The workshop
also plans to invite one or two pioneering researchers in the area as
keynote speakers.
TOPICS
The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
1. Knowledge-base construction by KDD.
2. Rule-guided induction.
3. Integration of induction and deduction techniques.
4. Extension of DOOD systems for KDD.
5. Knowledge-merging: merging deduction rules and discovered rules.
6. Induction from data and schema.
7. Applications of discovered knowledge in DOOD (including semantic
query optimization, intelligent query answering, data purification,
etc.).
8. Uncertainty handling in data mining and DOOD.
9. KDD tools for DOOD.
SUBMISSION AND REVIEWS OF THE PAPERS
Authors are invited to submit original research contributions. Each paper
should not be longer than 10 pages. WE ENCOURAGE ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS IN THE
FORM OF POSTSCRIPT, LATEX ETC. but limited to the std 8/5x11 size paper. If
hardcopies are submitted, four copies will be required. Each submitted paper
will be reviewed by at least three program committee members.
PUBLICATIONS
To be decided based on the number of submissions. An arrangement will
likely be made with the DOOD conference organizers.
ATTENDANCE
At least one author of the papers selected for paper and/or poster
presentation must attend the workshop. Researchers who are willing to
contribute in the discussions are encouraged to participate. Workshop
participants are not required to register and attend DOOD'95 conference.
However, a discount will be given if they attend both conference and workshop.
