Le congrès INFORSID, manifestation scientifique francophone, a pour objectif
de permettre la présentation de travaux de recherche innovants, de
développements industriels originaux et d'expériences significatives dans le
domaine des systèmes d'information techniques, économiques et sociaux.
Un intérêt tout particulier sera accordé aux applications et évaluations de
techniques accélérant ou provoquant des changements profonds dans les
systèmes d'information : data warehousing/mining, environnements
hétérogènes, réseaux de communication et d'information, etc.

Les thèmes couverts par la conférence sont :

   * SI complexes : data warehousing, data mining, systèmes distribués,
     coopératifs, hypermédias, etc.
   * Modèles et langages de définition de SI : objets, multi-agents,

                                NNCM-96


                   FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE


                NEURAL NETWORKS IN THE CAPITAL MARKETS


                Wednesday-Friday, November 20-22, 1996
         The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Pasadena, California, U.S.A.
            Sponsored by Caltech and London Business School


                   http://cs.caltech.edu/~learn/nncm


Neural networks have been applied to a number of live systems in the
capital markets, and in many cases have demonstrated better performance
than competing approaches.  Because of the increasing interest in the NNCM
conferences held in the U.K. and the U.S., the fourth annual NNCM will be
held on November 20-22, 1996, in Pasadena, California. This is a research
meeting where original and significant contributions to the field are
presented. A day of tutorials (Wednesday, November 20) is included to
familiarize audiences of different backgrounds with some of the key
financial and mathematical aspects of the field.


Invited Speakers:

The conference will feature invited talks by three internationally
recognized researchers:

                    Dr. Rob Engle, UC San Diego
                    Dr. Andrew Lo, MIT Sloan School
                    Dr. Paul Refenes, London Business School


Contributed Papers:

NNCM-96 will have 4 oral sessions and 2 poster sessions with more than 40
contributed papers presented by academicians and practitioners from all six
continents, both from the neural networks side and the capital markets
side. Each paper has been refereed
by 3 experts in the field. The areas of the accepted papers include price
forecasting for stocks, bonds, commodities, and foreign exchange;  asset
allocation and risk management; volatility analysis and pricing of
derivatives; cointegration, correlation, and multivariate data analysis;
credit assessment and economic forecasting; statistical methods, learning
techniques, and hybrid systems.


Tutorials:

Before the main program, there will be a day of tutorials on Wednesday,
November 20, 1996. Three two-hour tutorials will be presented as follows:

           Statistical Models of Financial Volatility
           Dr. Rob Engle, University of California, San Diego

           Universal Portfolios and Information Theory
           Dr. Tom Cover, Stanford University

           Data-Snooping and Other Selection Biases in Financial Econometrics
           Dr. Andrew Lo, MIT Sloan School

We are very pleased to have tutors of such caliber help bring new audiences
from different backgrounds up to speed in this cross-disciplinary area.


Schedule Outline:

        Wednesday, November 20:   9:00- 5:30  Tutorials 1, 2, 3
         Thursday, November 21:   8:30-11:30  Oral Session I
                                 11:30- 2:00  Luncheon  & Poster Session I
                                  2:00- 5:00  Oral Session II

Hi,

Enclosed is the final call for papers for JIIS Special Issue on Data Mining.
A preliminary call was announced three months ago in dbworld.  It could be 
nice to annouce it again.

Thanks,

-Jiawei

		    Special Issue on Data Mining 
		    ----------------------------

As a young, promising research area with broad applications, data mining 
and knowledge discovery in databases has attracted great interest in the 
research communities of database systems, machine learning, statistics, 
high performance computing, information retrieval, data visualization, 
and many others.  As an example, ACM-SIGMOD'96 Workshop on Research Issues 
on Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (DMKD'96) held in Montreal, Canada 
(June 2, 1996) attracted over 100 attendees.  Also, KDD'96 conference held 
in Portland, Oregon, August 2-4, 1996, received over 200 submissions and 
attracted over 500 attendees.  

With such overwhelming interest in this area, the Journal of Intelligent 
Information Systems (JIIS) is organizing a special issue on Data Mining.  
The information on JIIS and instructions to authors are available at:

	http://www.isse.gmu.edu/JIIS/

The journal published a Special Issue on Knowledge Discovery in Databases 
in Volume 4, Number 1, January 1995.

We welcome research and applications papers addressing the following issues
to be submitted to this special issue.  

1. Foundations, principles and methodologies of data mining, including

	Data mining methods and techniques
	Efficiency and scalability of KDD algorithms
	Mining different kinds of knowledge from data
	Integration of deductive and inductive techniques
	Statistics, probability and uncertainty in data mining
	Maintenance of mined knowledge and knowledge-base construction 
	Knowledge evolution through learning
	Methods for knowledge discovery in advanced database systems (including 
	  object-oriented, deductive, spatial, temporal, textual, multimedia,
	  heterogeneous, transaction, and active databases, and global 
	  information systems)

2. Systems and implementations for data mining, including

	Knowledge discovery systems, implementations, and performance
	Languages and interfaces for knowledge discovery in databases
	Interactive data mining and knowledge visualization
	Integrated discovery systems
	Integration of data mining and data warehousing
	Systems, implementations, and performance for knowledge discovery 
	  in advanced database systems

3.  Knowledge discovery applications, including

	Successful knowledge discovery application examples in industry, 
	  administration, business, and science or engineering
	New application challenges and requirements for data mining
	  (e.g., science, engineering, education)
	The inadequacy of current knowledge discovery mechanisms
	Influence of data mining to the advances of database systems
	Security and social impact of data mining

IMPORTANT DATES

	Submissions Due: November 1, 1996
	Review Notice: January 31, 1997
	Final Version due: March 15, 1997

Five hard copies of the paper, with the length limited to 20 pages, 
should be submitted by November 1, 1996 to

	Dr. Jiawei Han
	School of Computing Science
	Simon Fraser University 
	Burnaby, B.C.
