The Data Mining Group is sponsoring a half-day workshop on the Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML), including PMML deployment success stories, PMML-based applications, PMML-based architectures, extensions to the PMML standard, and related topics.

We invite submission of papers describing implementations of the Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML), including PMML deployment success stories, PMML-based applications, PMML-based architectures, proposed extensions to the PMML standard, and related topics.

Applications can be in any field including, but not limited to: e-commerce, medical and pharmaceutical, defense, public policy, engineering, manufacturing, telecommunications, and government.
