THEME

The goal of the PIKM workshop is two-fold: First, we want to give doctoral students an opportunity to present their work in an early state to a global audience. This allows the students to receive feedback from reviewers, from fellow students and from the general CIKM audience. Second, we believe that the database research community, too, benefits from such a workshop: PhD theses are the grassroots of research. They point out new research avenues and provide fresh viewpoints from the researchers of tomorrow.

SUBMISSIONS

Topics

The submissions should propose research ideas that can mature into a dissertation. The authors could be Ph.D. students or Masters students aspiring to get a Ph.D. having in mind a clear idea of a proposal. Students could also submit work on one or more sub-problems of their dissertation. The papers should address the research issues in their proposal focusing on the challenges in solving them. They could also include the proposed techniques to solve the given problems. Preliminary experimental evaluation should be included. However, it should be clear that the work is ongoing. A wide range of topics on any area in databases, information retrieval and knowledge management can be presented at this workshop. The areas of interest of the PIKM workshop are the same as stated in the Call for papers at the CIKM main conference.

Papers

Upon acceptance, camera-ready full papers have a limit of 8 pages and poster papers a limit of 4 pages. The graduate student should be the first author on the paper, with other authors permitted. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for the PIKM workshop by the early registration deadline in order for their paper to be included in the proceedings. All PIKM 2011 workshop proceedings will be printed on CD together with the main CIKM proceedings.

Presentation

Full papers should be presented in a slideshow presentation of 30 minutes, including discussion. Presenters should bring their presentation on a memory stick and give it to the session chair before the start of the session.

Poster papers should be presented in the form of a printed poster. There will be poster boards of 2 meter x 1 meter, so the suggested format is A0 portrait.
