             The 2013 International Conference on
                         Data Mining

There are a number of other sessions (not listed as part of DMIN'13 in
this schedule) that are of potential interest to DMIN'13 participants
(sessions belonging to other joint conferences.) Therefore, you are
encouraged to also check the schedules of other joint conferences. In
particular, some sessions in IKE'13, BIOCOMP'13, GEM'13, ICAI'13, and
SAM'13 conferences discuss topics that are within the scope of DMIN'13;
these have been scheduled so that selected DMIN'13 groups/attendees can
also participate in them.

Note that each conference is divided into a number of topical sessions.
These sessions are not necessarily scheduled in the same room/location.
Therefore, conference attendees are to check the location of the
session(s) they wish to attend; The conference room numbers (Locations)
appear in this document.
