The CIKM 2007 organizing committee is soliciting proposals for workshops to
be held with the ACM 16th International Conference on Information and
Knowledge Management (CIKM2007) to be held in Lisboa, Portugal from
November 5 to 11, 2007. Workshop will be held during November 9 and 10,
2007.

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 2007 workshop chair, Dongwon Lee, by
February 9, 2007.

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 February 23,
2007.

All CIKM 2007 workshop proceedings will be printed on CD only (i.e., no
paper proceedings), together with the main CIKM 2007 proceedings. Thus, the
timeline to print proceedings must be planned with the CIKM proceedings
schedule. Other issues should be communicated with the workshop chair.
