Research Paper Submissions
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished
research papers that are not being considered for publication in any other forum.
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically, in PDF format and formatted
using the camera-ready templates available at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. Papers cannot exceed 10 pages in length.
The electronic submission Web site
for research papers is available at
http://msrcmt.research.microsoft.com/CIKM2004/.
One author per paper is required to register and attend the conference to present the paper if accepted for publication.
"Best Interdisciplinary Paper" Award
A "Best Interdisciplinary Paper" award will be given to the best
paper that bridges at least two of the general areas of interest to the
conference, namely databases, information retrieval, and knowledge management.
Special Issue of KAIS Journal
Expanded versions of a selection of
accepted papers will be considered for possible inclusion in a special issue of the Knowledge and Information
Systems (KAIS) Journal, published by Springer-Verlag.
Industry Track Submissions
Authors are invited to submit presentations of commercial and
industrial applications that reflect solutions to problems in all the
areas of information and knowledge management embraced by the
conference. Emphasis should be placed on the technical details of the
implementations and problems addressed by the applications and on the
lessons learned. We are especially interested in applications that
have combined perspectives or required solutions in more than one
problem area.
Beyond descriptions of actual applications, we also solicit
presentations that identify new research issues arising from the use
of information- and knowledge-management technology in practical
(commercial) settings, as well as discussion of market trends.
We expect to judge papers/proposals for suitability as full
presentations, posters, and demonstrations, including any combination
of these alternatives, so please indicate a primary preference
(including combination) and whether a demo is available.
Industry track submissions should be sent by email to
cikm-industry-track@clairvoyancecorp.com
and should include:
- a 2-page extended abstract describing your proposed presentation, or
- a full paper, which cannot exceed 10 pages in length.
In either case, your submission should be a PDF, PostScript, or Word
file formatted using the camera-ready templates available at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. In addition,
please include with your abstract or paper at least a few slides (as a
PowerPoint, PDF, PostScript, or HTML file) that illustrate aspects of
the system, architecture, or problem that the application addresses.
Accepted abstracts and papers will be published in the conference
proceedings.
Tutorial Submissions
CIKM 2004 solicits proposals for three-hour tutorials of relevance to
databases, information retrieval, and knowledge management. Tutorial
proposals must be submitted by email to the Tutorial Chair, Ian
Soboroff, at ian.soboroff@nist.gov.
Proposals must include the
tutorial title, objective, contents, intended audience, prerequisites,
and name and biography of the instructors. Proposals should also
indicate whether the tutorial has been given before, at an earlier
CIKM or elsewhere.
