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.
