AIMS AND SCOPE 
ICMLA'07 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to
present the latest achievements 
andinnovations in the area of machine learning (ML). The conference
provides a leading 
international forum for the dissemination of original research in ML,
with emphasis on applications,
novel algorithms, software andsystems. Following the success of
previous ICMLA conferences, it 
attracts researchers and applicationdevelopers from a wide range of ML
related areas such as 
statistical, probabilistic, fuzzy, evolutionary,inductive, and other
kinds of learning, data mining,
knowledge discovery, pattern recognition, knowledgeacquisition and
retrieval, databases, data 
warehousing and visualization, knowledge-based systems and
highperformance computing. The main 
goal of the conference is to advance the state-of-the-art in ML via
promotionof high quality and 
novel research. Scope of the Conference:

 	· multistrategy learning

SUBMISSIONS
High quality papers in all ML areas are solicited. Papers that present
new directions will receive 
especially careful and supportive reviews. Authors are expected to
ensure that their final 
manuscripts are original and are not appearing in the other
publications. Paper should be limited

be reviewed by the Program 
Committee on the basis of technical quality,originality, significance,
and clarity. All submissions
will be handled electronically. Accepted papers will be published in
the conference proceedings, 
as a hardcopy. A selected number of accepted papers will be invited for
possible inclusion, in an 
expanded and revised form, in a journal. ICMLA'07 Best Paper Awards
will be conferred at the 
conference on the authors of the best research paper. Detailed
