                    High Performance Data Mining
      
                      Tuesday March 31, 1998
                        Orlando, Florida

                      Held in conjunction with

        12th International Parallel Processing Symposium (IPPS)
      9th Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing (SPDP)


The last decade has seen an explosive growth in database technology
and the amount of data collected.  Advances in data collection, use of
bar codes in commercial outlets, and the computerization of business
transactions have flooded us with lots of data. We have an 
unprecedented 
opportunity to analyze this data to extract more intelligent and 
useful 
information.  Data mining is the efficient supervised or unsupervised 
discovery of interesting, useful, and previously unknown patterns 
from 
this data.  Due to the huge size of data and amount of computation 
involved in data mining, parallel processing is an essential 
component 
for any successful large-scale data mining application.  This 
workshop 
will provide a forum for presentation of recent results in parallel 
computation for data mining including applications, algorithms, 
software, 
and systems.

Paper Submission :

The workshop will feature contributed papers and invited papers in an
informal setting.  To submit a paper for consideration, send six 
copies 
of the manuscript to one of the workshop chairs.  Electronic
submissions (postscript versions printable on 8.5 x 11 paper only) are
strongly encouraged.  To guarantee consideration, manuscripts must be
received by Feb. 7, 1998, and must be no more than 5 pages excluding 
figures, tables, and references. A hard copy of the proceedings will
be available at the workshop.  A copy of the proceedings would also be
available on the web.  

For up-to-date information on the main Symposium and this workshop, 
please see http://www.ippsxx.org or http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~ranka. 
Attendees are required to register for the main symposium; no 
separate 
registration is needed for the workshop.
