http://www.lsi.us.es/~aguilar/ds/


ACM SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED COMPUTING, SAC 2005
March 13-17, 2005, Santa Fe, New Mexico, US
http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2005/

For the past nineteen years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has 
been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer 
engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the 
world. SAC 2005 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied 
Computing, and is hosted by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM. 

DATA STREAMS TRACK 

The rapid growth in information science and technology in general and the 
complexity and volume of data in particular have introduced new challenges for 
the research community. Databases are growing inces-santly and, in many 
cases, we need to extract some sort of knowledge from this continuous stream of 
data. The goal of the track is to convene researchers who deal with decision 
rules, decision trees, asso-ciation rules, clustering, filtering, pre-pro-cessing, 
post-processing, feature selection, visualization techniques, etc. from data 
streams.

Topics include but are not restricted to:

Data Stream Models
Clustering from Data Streams
Decision Trees from Data Streams
Association Rules from Data Streams
Decision Rules from Data Streams
Feature Selection from Data Streams
Visualization Techniques for Data Streams
Single-Pass Algorithms
Scalable Algorithms
Real-Time Applications
Real-World Applications



GUIDELINES FOR PAPER SUBMISSION

The preferred file format is PDF, in which papers' final version must be submitted. 
Do not compress files in any way. 

Submit two files: 

A one-page cover sheet that lists the title of the paper, the name(s) and 
affiliation(s) of the author(s), and the address (including e-mail address and fax 
number) to which correspondence should be sent. 

The paper itself in PDF format, with authors and affiliations omitted. Author 
names and addresses must not appear in the body of the paper, self-reference 
must be in the third person, attribution to the author(s) must be in the form of 
"author", and bibliographical entries by the author(s) must also be in the form of 
"author". 

Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process 
by at least three referees. The conference proceedings will be published by ACM. 
Hence, all accepted papers should be submitted in ACM 2-column camera ready 
format for publication in the symposium proceedings. The maximum number of 
pages allowed for the final papers is 5 pages (about 4000 words), with the option 
(at additional expense) to add three (3) more pages. 

There is a set of templates to support the required paper format for a number of 
document preparation systems at 

http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html 

Accepted papers will be published in the annual conference proceedings by ACM 
and in the Digital Library, and also in DBLP.

Please submit papers electronically by e-mail to the track co-chair 

aguilar@lsi.us.es (subject: DS-SAC05)

Poster Publication of Selected Papers: 
 
A set of selected papers, which did not get accepted as full papers, will be 
accepted as poster papers and will be published as extended 2-page abstracts in 
the symposium proceedings.

Special Issue:

The papers accepted at the conference will be published in a Special Issue on Data Streams 
in the Journal of Universal Computer Science (IF=0.456), in August 2005.
