              Submissions due: Monday 22 December 2008


Open source software is becoming increasingly accepted in public and
private sector organisations in many countries. There is a variety
of open source data mining tools available to both researchers and
practitioners, some being simple research prototypes while others are
fully developed software tools in daily use in industry.

This workshop aims to bring together data mining software developers,
practitioners, researchers and educators, with the objectives to
present open source data mining tools, discuss experiences and lessons
learned developing and using such tools, and exchange ideas on how to
promote the use of open source tools in the field of data mining.

WORKSHOP PROGRAM

The OSDM'09 workshop is aimed at data mining researchers, educators
and practitioners, and it will include a mix of both peer-reviewed
scientific papers as well as software demonstrations. We plan to have:

 * An invited keynote presentation by one of the developers of the
   Weka data mining tool.

 * A session with peer-reviewed papers on topics such as:
    - Open source in data mining research.
    - Open source in data mining education.
    - Open source for data mining in government.
    - Open source for data mining in industry and business.
    - Data mining using open source - Experiences. 
    - Impact of open source in data mining.
    - Open source methodologies in data mining.

 * A more practically oriented session that will include:
    - Demonstrations of open source data mining tools.
    - Tutorials and how-to's, for example how to set-up and manage
      open source data mining tools; how-to choose an open source
      license suitable for data mining, selecting a software
      repository suitable for open source data mining tools, etc.

 * A panel session with prominent data mining open source
   developers. Possible topics:
    - Why open source for data mining research and education?
    - Why publish your data mining tool as open source software? 


SUBMISSION
