Subject: CIKM-94: 3rd Conf on Info and Knowledge Mgmt, (papers due May 1)
I'd like to bring your attention to the CIKM-94 -- the Third International
Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (paper deadline May 1).
This scope of CIKM includes many of the issues central to the Knowledge
Sharing Effort, including:
o Application of knowledge representation techniques to semantic modeling
o Development and management of heterogeneous knowledge bases
o Data and knowledge sharing
o Interchange and interoperability
o Cooperation in heterogeneous systems
o Domain modeling and ontology-building
o Intelligent software agents
as well as relevant application areas such as concurrent engineering, digital
libraries, intelligent information retrieval, electronic commerce and
enterprise integration.
I would like to solicit papers relevant to our research areas and will
organize those accepted into a special mini-track. I am also interested in
getting good ideas for keynote speakers, tutorial presentations, and panels.
(Keynote talks relevant to the KSE at CIKM-92 and -93 have included Gio
Wiederhold, Bob Kahn, Mike Papazouglou, Rich Fritzson and Mike Stonebraker.)
CIKM-94 will be held at NIST which should help to have the ideas presented at
the conference to have good visibility in Washington and hopefully a better
opportunity to impact the evolving information technology policy.
Please pass on this call for papers to any interested colleagues or students.
Tim

The Conference
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CIKM provides an international forum for presentation and discussion of
research on information and knowledge management, as well as recent advances
on data and knowledge bases. The purpose of the con ference is to identify
challenging problems facing the development of future knowledge and
information systems, and to shape future directions of research by soliciting
and reviewing high quality, applied and theoretical research findings. An
important part of the conference is the Workshops program which focuses on
timely research challenges and initiatives.
Focus
~~~~~
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following areas:
o Application of knowledge representation techniques to semantic modeling
o Development and management of heterogeneous knowledge bases
o Automatic acquisition of data and knowledge bases (especially raw text)
o Object-oriented DBMS
o Optimization techniques
o Transaction management
o High performance OLTP systems
o Security techniques
o Performance evaluation
o Hypermedia
o Unconventional applications
o Parallel database systems
o Physical and logical database design
o Data and knowledge sharing
o Interchange and interoperability
o Cooperation in heterogeneous systems
o Domain modeling and ontology-building
o Knowledge discovery in databases
o Information storage and retrieval and interface technology
o Concurrent engineering and computer integrated manufacturing
o Digital Libraries
o Multimedia Databases.
