ECML-2001 Call for Papers 

The two conferences will be closely co-ordinated. There will be a single electronic submission procedure: authors can indicate whether they submit their paper to ECML'01, PKDD'01, or both. In the latter case, the topic of the joint submission must be within the scope of both conferences. A joint submission will be reviewed by three PC members, one of whom is a member of both Program Committees. In case of acceptance to both conferences, the authors decide in which proceedings to publish their paper. Selected joint submissions will be presented during the overlap day.

The proceedings of both conferences will be published as separate volumes by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series and will be available during the conference.

Call for Papers

The European Conference on Machine Learning series is intended to provide an international forum for the discussion of the latest high quality research results in machine learning and is the major European scientific event in the field. Submissions are invited that describe empirical and theoretical research in all areas of machine learning. Submissions of papers that describe the application of machine learning methods to real-world problems are encouraged.

The proceedings of ECML'01 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series and will be available during the conference.
