                   The 2012 International Conference on
                               Data Mining

There are a number of other sessions (not listed as part of DMIN'12 in this
schedule) that are of potential interest to DMIN'12 participants (sessions
belonging to other joint conferences of WORLDCOMP.) Therefore, you are
encouraged to also check the schedules of other joint conferences. In
particular, sessions in BIOCOMP'12, FECS'12, GEM'12, ICAI'12, IKE'12, and
SAM'12, discuss topics that are within the scope of DMIN; these have been
scheduled so that selected DMIN'12 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.
