</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">MUD is the International workshop on Mining Unstructured Data, where researchers in the field discuss about addressing the challenges posed by mining unstructured software data, to encourage cross-fertilization from different research domains, including NLP, IR, Machine Learning, etc. and to document and advance the state of the art of MUD.
</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">MUD 2014 will be held in the beautiful garden city of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and it will be co-located with ICSME, the 30th International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution.
</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">MUD 2014 invites contributions in the form of short papers (4 pages plus up to 2 pages for references). Submissions can be research papers, studies, experience reports, and papers discussing a work-in-progress on Mining Unstructured Data. Papers must not have been accepted elsewhere for publication or be under review at another workshop, conference, or journal.
</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">All submitted papers should follow the IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS) formatting instructions (<a href="http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting">http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting</a>) and must not exceed 4 pages (including all text, figures) plus 2 pages maximum for references.
