CIKM '98 Call for Papers
Seventh International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management
November 3--7, 1998, Washington D.C., USA
Sponsored by ACM SIGIR and ACM SIGMIS
CIKM'98 will bring together leading researchers and developers in a wide variety of scientific areas, with a common interest in improving information and knowledge management technologies. Its objective is to provide a forum for the discussion and dissemination of recent advances in the area, and to foster collaboration between the database, information retrieval, and artificial intelligence communities.
The focus of the conference is new and original research results in the areas of theoretical foundations, design, implementation, and applications of information and knowledge management. We solicit papers that address novel, challenging and innovative results. We also solicit short papers that challenge the field with new technologies or applications and open new horizons of research. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
Intelligent Search and Data Mining
Data Cleaning and Noise Modeling
Uncertainty Management
Data Mining Methods
Automated Discovery Agents
Privacy and Security Issues
Interactive Data Exploration
Knowledge and Resource Discovery
Multimedia Database Systems
Mobile Databases and Wireless Computing
Digital Libraries
Information Representation and Modeling
Modeling Database Dynamics
Information Structures and Interaction
Hypertext and Hypermedia
Distributed Object Management
Query Languages Transaction and Workflow Management
Data and Knowledge Sharing

Authors are invited to submit complete and original papers. Papers that may be submitted for consideration include those that have not previously been published in another forum, or are not currently being published or reviewed by another journal or conference. All submitted papers will be refereed for quality, originality and relevance. Of particular interest are papers which address experiences with concrete applications. All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, to be published by ACM Press, provided at least one author attends the conference to present the paper.
Manuscripts should include an abstract and be limited to 5000 words. Submissions should include the title, author(s), author's affiliation, e-mail address, tel/fax numbers and postal address. In case of multiple authors, please indicate which author is responsible for correspondence and preparing the camera ready paper for the proceedings. Seven copies of the manuscript should be submitted by May 1, 1998 to either of the Program Co-Chairs:
Dr. James French Dr. Georges Gardarin c/o CIKM'98 (IR track) CIKM'98 (DBMS track) Computer Science Department PRiSM Laboratory (& INRIA) University of Virginia University of Versailles SQ Charlottesville, VA 22903 USA 78035 Versailles Cedex, France french_at_cs.virginia.edu georges.gardarin_at_prism.uvsq.fr 804-982-2213 33 1 39254054/56
Authors will be notified of acceptance by the end of June, and
camera-ready copies for the proceedings will be due the end of August.
