====================================================================== The IEEE ICDM 6th International Workshop on Privacy Aspects of Data Mining (PADM '07) October 28, 2007, Omaha, NE, USA URL: http://cimic.rutgers.edu/~padm CALL FOR PAPERS ====================================================================== Privacy aspects of data mining have an important impact on many data analysis applications. In particular, privacy has attracted a lot of attention due to the growth of e-commerce, e-business, e-government, and e-health services. In these electronic services, privacy issues arise because many users have concern about how and where their data and information about their activities will be used. Conversely, technology allows service providers to easily track an individual's actions, behaviors, and habits. Given large data collections of person-specific information, providers can mine data to learn patterns, models, and trends that can be used to provide personalized services. The potential benefits of data mining are substantial, but the collection and analysis of sensitive personal data also creates concerns about privacy, data security, and intellectual property rights. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the privacy aspects of data mining, both by from a technical perspective and from social and legal perspectives. We hope to attract interest across a wide range of possible data mining subareas, including: web mining, medical data mining, spatio-temporal data mining, ubiquitous knowledge discovery, stream data mining, multimedia mining, and obviously, privacy-preserving data mining. Researchers from both academia and industry are invited to submit papers presenting novel research on these topics of interest. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Cryptographic tools for privacy preserving data mining - Inference and disclosure control for data mining - Learning algorithms for randomized/perturbed data - Legal and regulatory frameworks for data mining and privacy - Privacy and anonymity in e-commerce and user profiling - Privacy aspects of business processes and enterprise management - Privacy aspects of geographic, spatial, and temporal data - Privacy aspects of ubiquitous computing systems - Privacy enhancement technologies in web environments - Privacy policy infrastructure, enforcement, and analysis - Privacy preserving link and social network analysis - Privacy preserving applications for homeland security - Privacy preserving data integration - Privacy protection in fraud and identify theft prevention - Privacy threats due to data mining - Biomedical and healthcare data mining research privacy - Query systems and access control - Trust management for data mining Important dates =============== o June 22, 2007: Submission deadline o August 1, 2007: Author notification o August 17, 2007: Submission of Camera-ready papers o October 28, 2007: Workshop Date Paper Submission ================ Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 6 pages in the IEEE 2-column format, the same as the camera-ready format (see the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines). All papers will be reviewed by at least 2 program committee members for their technical merit, originality, significance, and relevance to the workshop. The papers must be in English and should be formatted according to the IEEE CS press guidelines. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Papers are submitted electronically on the ICDM 07 paper submission page. Follow the link to Workshop/Paper submission and then select "Workshop #6: Privacy Aspects of Data Mining". ICDM will adopt a "forward to workshops" mechanism this year, where a paper not accepted for the main conference can be (at the author's request) "fast-tracked" to a workshop, preserving reviews. Consequently, double submission to ICDM main conference is allowed. However, the author must notify the workshop co-chairs that the same paper has been submitted to ICDM main conference.
