We are pleased to solicit original, unpublished and novel papers for publication and presentation in the 2013 ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) Track on Data Mining.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. 2013 ACM SAC Data Mining Track will be held at Coimbra, Portugal from March 18-23, 2013.

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 2013 ACM SAC Data Mining Track is the thirteenth such event in the 27 years of ACM SAC tradition.
