The conferences are intended to serve several functions:

o A venue to exchange ideas and experiences focused on the
 practice of data mining and the art and practice of the real
 world analysis of complex data.

o A place to learn about advanced data mining technology and
 anticipated future developments.

o An opportunity to obtain both basic and advanced training
 offered by practical and theoretical experts.

Contributed papers covering any application of CART(R), MARS(R),
PRIM(TM), MART(TM), TreeNet(TM) and RandomForests(TM) are encouraged.
Papers may focus on ordinary everyday challenges of applied data
analysis or on innovative and unusual applications.  We especially
welcome presentations rooted in a substantive industrial data
mining context that report on real world data.
