CIKM 2010 - The 19th ACM Conference on Information and Knowledge Management CIKM 2010

We encourage submissions of high quality papers on all topics in the general areas of databases, information retrieval, and knowledge management. Papers that bridge across these areas are of special interest and will be considered for a "Best Interdisciplinary Paper" award. Topics of interest in the three areas include, but are not limited to:

Databases:

Access methods and indexing
Authorization, data privacy and security
Concurrency control and recovery
Data adaptability, reusability and quality
Database languages and models
Information integration, data provenance, probabilistic databases
Mobile databases and distributed data management
Peer-to-peer, parallel and distributed databases
Query processing, optimization and performance
Real-time and active databases
Scientific and biological databases
Semantic Web
Semi-structured data processing, XML filtering and routing
Stream-based processing and network databases
tring Databases, Blogs and Social Search
Systems, middleware, applications and experiences
Temporal, spatial and multimedia databases
User experience: languages, models, interfaces
Information Retrieval:

Citation Analysis, Social Networks for IR
Domain-specific IR (e.g., Legal IR, Genome, Mobile IR, IR for chemical structures)
Filtering (e.g., Routing, Collaborative filtering, Topic tracking, Recommender systems)
Foundation of Information Retrieval (e.g., theory, ranking)
IR Architectures, Scalability and Efficiency
IR Evaluation
Language Specific IR (Multi-lingual, Cross-lingual, NLP, Question and Answer)
Machine Learning for IR
Multimedia IR (Audio, Speech, Video, Image)
Semi-Structured Information Retrieval
Distributed IR, Peer to Peer Search
User Modeling for IR, Search Personalization
Web Search, Advertising, Adversarial
Other topics related to IR (Privacy, Spam, Feature Engineering, et. al.)
Knowledge Management:

Advertising and Optimization
Classification and Clustering
Data pre- and post-Processing
Information Extraction
Information Filtering and Recommender Systems
Knowledge Synthesis and Visualization
Large-scale statistical techniques
Link and Graph Mining
Semantic Techniques
Temporal and Spatial data Mining
Text Mining
Industry track:

Industrial Practice and Experience
Technology for Developing Regions
Industrial Papers

Industry authors are also invited to submit papers describing solutions in the domains addressed by this conference, focusing on the technical aspects of their work. The submission procedure for industrial papers is the same as for research papers.

Important Dates

Abstracts due: May 27, 2010
Papers due: June 3, 2010
Notificaiton of Acceptance: July 15, 2010
Camera Ready: August 15, 2010
All accepted papers will be published in the CIKM proceedings, which will be distributed in CD-ROM at the conference. All papers will be indexed in the ACM digital library. A selected number of top-quality accepted papers will be invited to submit expanded versions for publications in the Knowledge and Information Systems (KAIS) Journal, and the ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology (ACM TIST) as special issues through an expedient review and publication process.

Accepted workshop papers will also be published in the CIKM workshop proceedings, which will be printed on CD only and indexed in the ACM digital library, together with the main CIKM 2010 proceedings.
