The Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (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 conference 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.

CIKM has a strong tradition of workshops devoted to emerging areas of database management, IR, and related fields. Workshops vary from year to year.

Focus

The topics of interest to the CIKM community include, but are not limited to the following areas:

Application of knowledge representation techniques to semantic modeling
Development and management of heterogeneous knowledge bases
Automatic acquisition of data and knowledge bases (especially raw text)
Object-oriented DBMS
Optimization techniques
Transaction management
High performance OLTP systems
Security techniques
Performance evaluation
Hypermedia
Unconventional applications
Parallel database systems
Physical and logical database design
