Call for Workshops

Aims and Scope

The 25th IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (IEEE ICDM 2025) includes half- or full-day workshops that complement the main conference technical program, with the goal of expanding new directions and applications of data mining for both practitioners and researchers in a particular field. Ideally a workshop should foster interactions between different communities within the scope of ICDM. Accepted workshops are expected to be held on November 12-15, 2025. These workshops provide a more focused, in-depth venue for presentations, discussions and interaction. Each workshop will solicit papers (max 8 pages plus 2 extra pages) for peer review. Furthermore, as in previous years, papers that are not accepted by the main conference will be automatically sent to a workshop selected by the authors when the papers were submitted to the main conference. By the unique ICDM tradition, all accepted workshop papers will be published in the dedicated ICDMW proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

Preparing Your Workshop Proposal

Workshop proposals should be submitted in a single PDF with up to 2 pages and submit before the submission deadline.

The submitted proposal must include the following elements:

  • Title and acronym of the workshop
  • Duration (full-day or half-day)
  • Description of the workshop topic, and a draft version of CFP with word count
  • Short description on how the organizers plans to attract quality submissions
  • Preliminary list of invited speakers (if any)
  • Short bio of the organizers
  • Tentative program committee
  • Contact information of the organizers (including name, affiliation, mailing address, and e-mail address).

If the organizer(s) have previously organized the workshops, please highlight the following:

  • Past workshop organizing experience from the organizer(s)
  • Number of papers submitted and accepted last year or the last time the workshop was held
  • Number of invited keynote speakers
  • Total attendees last year or the last time the workshop was held.

With a larger venue this year, we are excited to accommodate more workshops and encourage proposals that foster diversity, originality, and innovation among diverse research areas and ICDM research community. We recommend reviewing examples of recent ICDM workshops (e.g. ICDMW 2024, ICDMW2023, ICDMW2021) to understand previous themes, and hope to inspire fresh, innovative ideas that bring unique contributions to the ICDM research community.
