The CIKM 2009 organizing committee is soliciting proposals for workshops to be held with the ACM 18th International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM2009) to be held in Hong Kong, China from November 2 to November 6, 2009. Most of workshops (half-day and one-day workshop) will be held during November 6. Only one-and-half day workshop will be held on November 5 and 6, 2009. The 2009 organizing committee will determine the length of workshops (from half day to one and half day workshop) for accepted workshops based on the number of papers submitted. For quality control and space allocation purpose, the CIKM workshop chairs will determine the number of papers to be accepted.

CIKM provides a wide forum for researchers and industrial experts interested in the multidisciplinary areas of databases, information retrieval, and knowledge management. We plan to feature a set of co-located workshops. Proposals for workshops (in PDF format) are invited and should be directly emailed to the CIKM 2009 workshop co-chairs, Min Song at min.song@njit.edu and Wook-Shin Han at wshan@knu.ac.kr, by March 1, 2009.

Proposals should address the following issues:

Title and Acronym of workshop
Description of topics
Scope and novelty of the workshop
Workshop organizer(s) and their credentials
Format of workshop (1 day or 2 days)
Potential Program Committee
Highlights (e.g., keynotes, panels, journal special issue)
Expected number of participants
Details of any previous workshops

Workshop proposals should include a draft Call for Papers indicating the relevant topics and the intended program committee.

This year, in order to give ample time for organizers to plan and advertise their workshops, the decision on acceptance/rejection of workshop proposals will be made within 2 weeks of submission due -- no later than March 15, 2009.

All CIKM 2009 workshop proceedings will be printed on CD only (i.e., no paper proceedings), together with the main CIKM 2009 proceedings. Thus, the timeline to print proceedings must be planned with the CIKM proceedings schedule. Other issues should be communicated with the workshop chair.
