Call for Papers

DS-2010 provides an open forum for intensive discussions and exchange of new ideas among researchers working in the area of Discovery Science. The scope of the conference includes the development and analysis of methods for automatic scientific knowledge discovery, machine learning, intelligent data analysis, theory of learning, as well as their application to knowledge discovery. Especially welcome are papers that strongly focus on the discovery aspect of the reported work. The proceedings of DS-2010 will appear in the Lecture Notes Series by Springer-Verlag.

We invite submissions of research papers addressing all aspects of discovery science. We particularly welcome contributions that discuss the application of scientific knowledge discovery and other support techniques including, but not limited to, biomedical, astronomical, space, chemistry, and physics domains.

Mentoring Program

Based on the success of the past five years, DS-2010 is featuring once again a mentoring program. Students or groups of students that work alone are invited to submit a paper draft no later than the mentoring deadline. They will receive comments from a PC member that will help them prepare their final submission. The papers for mentoring can be submitted simply by sending the pdf version to the PC Chairs Bernhard Pfahringer (bernhard a t cs.waikato.ac.nz) and Geoff Holmes (geoff a t cs.waikato.ac.nz) and the Conference Chair Achim Hoffmann (achim a t cse.unsw.edu.au)

Student Award

An excellent student paper will be selected to receive the Carl Smith Award.
