THEME

The goal of this workshop is to encourage Ph.D. students or Master
students to present their dissertation proposals at a relatively early
stage. The targeted students are those with a focus in any of the
ACM CIKM research tracks, i.e., databases, information retrieval or knowledge
management. Interdisciplinary work across the three tracks is
particularly encouraged.

This workshop will give students an opportunity to get feedback on
their early work
from researchers worldwide. Accepted papers will be published in ACM
CIKM workshops proceedings.
The students of the accepted papers will make an oral or poster
presentation on their dissertation
at the workshop. This will give considerable recognition to their
work. There will be an
award for the best paper in the workshop. A short article serving as a
workshop report
is likely to be published in the following year based on the contents
of PIKM 2013 in
a suitable venue such as SIGMOD Record, SIGKDD Explorations or SIGIR
Forum where previous
PIKM workshop reports have appeared.


SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

A wide range of proposal papers on any area in databases, information
retrieval and knowledge management can be presented at this workshop.
The areas of interest are similar to those at the ACM CIKM 2013 main
conference and can be found on the conference website http://www.cikm2013.org/

Submissions should be at most 8 pages long, and formatted according to
the same guidelines as main conference ACM CIKM 2013 papers.
The Ph.D. student should be the first author on the paper.
The student's Ph.D. advisor, committee members and others may be co-authors.
Please note that at least one author of each accepted paper is required to
register for the PIKM workshop before the camera-ready deadline.
