CIKM'2000 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 in the following areas, but are not limited to:
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 the correspondence author who is is responsible for correspondence and preparing the camera ready paper for the proceedings. Submissions of your manuscript are due by May 8, 2000. Submissions will be handled electronically; for instructions, please refer to the CIKM 2000 homepage at http://www.cs.umbc.edu/cikm/2000/.
