The 2013 International Workshop on Data Mining Applications in Industry & Government (DMApps 2013) will provide a platform for industrial data mining practitioners to share knowledge and experience, and also provide a bridge between academia and industry for applying new advanced data mining techniques to industrial applications. The audience will be composed of industrial data mining practitioners, as well as academic researchers who are interested in designing algorithms to meet industrial needs. The workshop will foster the collaboration between academia and industry and speed-up the process for new techniques to transfer from academic research to industrial applications.

The workshop focuses on applications of data mining in real-world projects. Topics include, but not limited to data mining applications in:
• Finance
• Retail
• Insurance
• Telecommunications
• Crime & Homeland Security
• Stock Market
• Social Welfare

• Medicine and Health
• Education
• Sports
• Transport
• Education
• Environment
• Manufacturing
• Government
• Other Fields

Long and Short Papers
There are two types of paper that can be submitted. One is a long paper covering research into real-world data mining applications in industry and government. The other is a short paper up to four pages from managers and practitioners covering a challenging and informative issue in data mining. This includes what the issue was, how it was managed and what lessons were learned from the activity. The page limit is 12 pages for long papers and 4 pages for short papers. All papers should be with 10pt font size, following the Springer LNCS/LNAI manuscript submission guidelines (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
