		    ACM CIKM 2001  CALL FOR PAPERS
Tenth International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management
		 November 6-9, 2001, 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

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.
