Some researchers have told us that they cannot find our algorithm in the above SDM paper. When our paper was accepted as a poster paper at the conference, we shortened it by keeping the theoretical work and deleting the algorithm and results. Thus, our UMining algorithm was not available in our published paper. In Liu, Y., Liao, W.-K., and Choudhary, A., ``A Fast High Utility Itemsets Mining Algorithm,'' Proceedings of the First International Workshop on Utiliy-based Data Mining, Chicago, Illinois, 2005, pp. 90-99, Liu, Liao, and Choudhary derived an algorithm from our theoretical work and called it ``Mining using Expected Utility'' (MEU). The MEU algorithm is not described in our SDM paper.

This situation has led to some confusion. Therefore, we are making the original submitted version of our paper available below. This version shows our UMining algorithm. If necessary, this work can be referenced via its web page.
