Event History
The Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM) provides
an international forum for presentation and discussion of research on
information and knowledge management, as well as recent advances on data
and knowledge bases. The
purpose of the conference is to identify
challenging problems facing the development of future knowledge and
information systems, and to shape future directions of research by
