The primary focus of the conference is on new and original research
results in the areas of theoretical foundations, design, implementation,
and applications of information and knowledge management. We solicit
the submission of 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 areas as
they relate to information and knowledge management:
Mobile Databases & Wireless Computing
Digital Libraries

TOPICS OF INTEREST:
Papers reporting on recent advances in all aspects of Natural Language
Processing and Language Engineering are invited, including but not
