The early registration deadline is October 1, 2001.

CIKM has successfully brought together leading researchers and
developers from several information and knowledge management areas,
databases and information retrieval in particular.  This year, we will
continue this tradition of fostering further collaboration between
information and knowledge management areas, defined broadly. We have
special interest in research that bridges traditionally separated
areas such as databases and information retrieval, or that applies
techniques from one area to another.
