ACM CIKM 2001 CALL FOR PAPERS Tenth International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management November 5 -10, 2001 DoubleTree Hotel, Buckhead, Atlanta, GA, USA http://www.cikm.org/2001 Sponsored by ACM SIGIR and ACM SIGMIS CIKM has successfully brought together leading researchers and developers from several information and knowledge management areas, databases and information retrieval in particular. We will continue this tradition to foster further collaboration between information and knowledge management areas, defined broadly. We have special interest in papers that bridge traditionally separated areas such as databases and information retrieval or those that apply techniques from one area to another. Areas of interest include and are not limited to: Data and Knowledge Sharing Data Mining, Knowledge Discovery Data Warehouses, OLAP Distributed Object Management Digital Libraries Electronic Commerce Federated Information Systems Heterogeneous and Distributed Systems Hypertext and Hypermedia, Semi-Structured Data Intelligent Search Interactive Data Exploration Intelligent Information Systems Information Filtering and Summarization Information Visualization Information Classification and Organization Intelligent Agents Knowledge Management Mobile and Wireless Data Management Multimedia Databases Non-traditional Databases Paper Submission Instructions: Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered in another forum. At least one author is required to attend the conference and present the paper. An electronically submitted abstract is expected prior to the submission of the full paper. Manuscripts should contain no more than 5000 words and be printed on 10 or 12 size font. Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF, postscript, or ASCII formats) is required. Submissions should include the paper title, abstract, name of authors, their affiliation, email address, and postal address. In addition, the author responsible for correspondence should include his/her telephone number and complete email address. Papers that bridge two areas should be marked as BRIDGE papers, and they will be reviewed jointly by the appropriate PC sub-areas. Detailed Instructions for electronic submission will be available at http://www.cikm.org/2001.

Computer Science, Illinois Institute of Tech. 10 W. 31st Street Chicago, IL 60616 Phone: +1-312-567-5261 Email: grossman@iit.edu Important Dates: May 21, 2001 Electronic abstract due May 28, 2001 Full paper submission due Aug. 6, 2001 Notification of acceptance Sept. 3, 2001 (tentative) Camera ready copy due Panel Submission: We solicit proposals for panels on exciting, new and controversial issues related to the conference topics. Proposals on topics that emphasize the interaction between areas, such as DB and IR, are particularly welcome. Panel proposals must be debate-oriented and must pose specific questions that panelists can be called to answer. A list of probable participants with their affiliation should be included in the proposal. Panel proposals should be submitted to the panel chair, Leo Mark (leomark@cc.gatech.edu), by May 28, 2001. Tutorial Submission: Tutorial proposals should identify the intended audience, the scope and the depth of material to be covered. Past experience and successes of the presenter will be considered positively. We are particularly interested in tutorials that foster knowledge exchange among the different research communities present at CIKM. The time allocated for the tutorial is 4 hours. The length of tutorial proposals should not exceed 5 pages. They should be submitted to the tutorial program chair by email (karl.aberer@epfl.ch) before May 28, 2001. Workshop Submission: We solicit proposals for workshops related to the conference topics. Proposals should be submitted to the workshops chair, Il-Yeol Song (song@drexel.edu) by May 28, 2001. A workshop proposal should include title, theme, procedures for call for papers, and the organizing committee members.
