	KDD-93: AAAI Workshop on Knowledge Discovery in Databases 
		Washington, D.C. July 11-12, 1993.
		==================================

Knowledge Discovery in Databases has been attracting significant
attention in the last few years. The rapid growth of data and
information created a need and an opportunity for extracting knowledge
from databases, and both researchers and application developers have
been responding to that need. 

Knowledge Discovery is an area of common interest for researchers in machine
learning, statistics, intelligent databases, knowledge acquisition, data
visualization and expert systems.  KDD applications have been developed for
astronomy, biology, finance, insurance, marketing, and many other fields.
  
This workshop will continue in the tradition of the 1989 and 1991 KDD
workshops by bringing together researchers and application developers
from different areas, and focusing on unifying themes such as the use
of domain knowledge, managing uncertainty, and interactive,
human-oriented presentation.  The topics of interest include: 

   	Interactive Data Exploration and Discovery
	Discovery Explanation 
	Data and Knowledge Visualization
   	Use of Domain Knowledge and Re-use of Discovered Knowledge
	Discovery in Knowledge Bases 
	High-level Query Answering and Data Summarization 
	Dependency Networks 
	Discovery of Statistical and Probabilistic models
	Integrated Discovery Systems and Theories
	Learning from Successful and Unsuccessful Applications
	Security and Privacy Issues in Discovery

Please submit 3 *hardcopies* of a short paper (8-12 single spaced pages) to
the workshop chairman:
