We are pleased to solicit original, unpublished and novel papers for publication and presentation in the 2012 ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) Track on Data Mining. Articles describing novel ideas and applications in all areas of data mining are of interest. This year, emphasis and special considerations will be given to papers addressing issues in scientific data exploration and mining. 2012 ACM SAC Data Mining Track will be held at Riva del Garda (Trento), Italy from March 25-29, 2012.

ACM SAC Data Mining has a successful history of accepting quality papers and offering a stimulating platform for the exchange of ideas and dissiminating cutting edge research to the community. The 2012 ACM SAC Data Mining Track is the twelfth such event in the 26 years of ACM SAC tradition.

The ACM Symposium on Applied Computing is recognized as a primary forum for applied computer scientists and application developers from around the world to interact and present their work. SAC 2011 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP) and is presented in cooperation with other ACM Special Interest Groups.
