IEEE ICDM Data Mining Contest (ICDM DMC 2007)

 =============================================

 Submissions by September 26, 2007



 The IEEE ICDM Data Mining Contest (ICDM DMC) is set
up to meet the challenges of novel, difficult and
high-impact  real-world data mining  problems. We
strive to make this contest series an important and
attractive component of the IEEE ICDM conference.



 This year's inaugural contest provides a
location-estimation problem in an indoor wireless
network environment.  The problem is to accurately
predict a mobile user's location from the received
radio signal strength values in a wireless
environment.
