Eleventh International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management

November 4 -9, 2002 SAIC Headquarters, McLean, Virginia, USA

http://www.cikm.org/2002 Sponsored by ACM SIGIR and ACM SIGMIS

For the last ten years, CIKM has successfully brought together leading researchers and developers from several areas of information and knowledge management (KM), database management systems (DBMS) and information retrieval (IR). We continue this tradition of collaboration between information and knowledge management. Over 300 papers were submitted to CIKM in 2001 of which only 25 percent were accepted. We anticipate similar participation in 2002. We have a special interest in papers that bridge the areas of databases and information retrieval. Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

Data and Knowledge Sharing Data Mining, Knowledge Discovery IR Effectiveness and Efficiency Integrating Structured and Unstructured Data Data Warehouses, OLAP Distributed Object Management Digital Libraries Federated Information Systems Heterogeneous and Distributed Systems Hypertext and Hypermedia Semi-Structured Data Management Query Processing Interactive Data Exploration Intelligent Information Systems Information Filtering and Summarization Information Visualization Information Classification Intelligent Mediators Knowledge Management Data Management in Mobile Environments Multimedia, Spatial, and Biomedical Databases

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered in another forum. At least one author will be required to attend the conference to present the paper. Electronic submission of manuscripts is required, preferably in PDF. Detailed instructions for electronic submission will be available at http://www.cikm.org/2002.
