Its objective is to provide a forum for the discussion and dissemination of recent advances in the area, and to foster collaboration between the database, information retrieval, and artificial intelligence communities. The focus of the conference is new and original research results in the areas of theoretical foundations, design, implementation, and applications of information and knowledge management. We solicit papers that address novel, challenging and innovative results. We also solicit short papers that challenge the field with new technologies or applications and open new horizons of research. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Intelligent Search and Data Mining Data Cleaning and Noise Modeling Uncertainty Management Data Mining Methods Automated Discovery Agents Privacy and Security Issues Interactive Data Exploration Knowledge and Resource Discovery Multimedia Database Systems Mobile Databases and Wireless Computing Digital Libraries Information Representation and Modeling Modeling Database Dynamics Information Structures and Interaction Hypertext and Hypermedia Distributed Object Management Query Languages Transaction and Workflow Management Data and Knowledge Sharing Heterogeneous and Distributed Systems High Performance Algorithms Design Techniques for Object Databases Intelligent Agents and Network Mediators Temporal/Spatial Databases Active and Extensible Databases Engineering, Scientific and Design Databases Intelligent Information Systems User and Application Interfaces Time, Event and Change Management and Monitoring Dynamic Databases Tuning, Benchmarking and Performance New Experimental, Commercial and Educational Systems Integrating Databases and Information Retrieval Cooperating and Interoperable Federated Systems Parallelism and Distribution Object Storage and Servers Imprecise and Uncertain Information Authors are invited to submit complete and original papers. Papers that may be submitted for consideration include those that have not previously been published in another forum, or are not currently being published or reviewed by another journal or conference. All submitted papers will be refereed for quality, originality and relevance. Of particular interest are papers which address experiences with concrete applications. All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, to be published by ACM Press, provided at least one author attends the conference to present the paper. Manuscripts should include an abstract and be limited to 5000 words. Submissions should include the title, author(s), author's affiliation, e-mail address, tel/fax numbers and postal address.
