* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP * * For the online version of this Call, visit: https://cikm2024.org/call-for-workshops/ =============== CIKM 2024: 33rd ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management Boise, Idaho, USA October 21–25, 2024 =============== The ACM Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM) is the premier international conference on topics at the confluence of information retrieval, databases, and knowledge management. Running annually since 1992, CIKM attracts top talent from industry and academia with the goal of fostering collaboration and bridging the academic-commercial gap in the database, information retrieval, machine learning, and knowledge management communities. We look for prospective submissions of highly interactive full-/half-day workshops proposing novel research, deepening established research topics, or presenting practical applications on the many aspects of the data lifecycle (data acquisition, pre-processing, modelling, integration/aggregation, storage, analysis, and consumption). Interdisciplinary workshops bridging across different communities are also highly encouraged. Workshops will complement the main CIKM conference to be held in-person at Boise, Idaho, USA, from October 21-25, 2024. The workshops are planned to take place on 25 October 2024. -------------------------- Key Dates -------------------------- * Workshop proposal: 14 June 2024 * Workshop proposal acceptance notification: 5 July 2024 * Camera ready: 8 August 2024 (All deadlines are at 11:59 pm AOE) -------------------------- Paper Submissions -------------------------- Please use the CIKM 2024 Workshop Proposal Template for your submission. Submit the proposal here through Easychair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=cikm2024). Workshop proposals are reviewed based on the quality of the proposal, their relation to the main CIKM topics, the likelihood of attracting enough participants, and the hosting capacity of the conference. -------------------------- Requirements for In-Person Activities -------------------------- The CIKM 2024 conference will be held in-person in Boise, Idaho, USA. To enhance the in-person experience, it is required for each workshop to at least plan for a subset of the organizers to be attending the conference and organizing the workshops in-person. -------------------------- Recommended Dates for Paper Submissions to the Workshops -------------------------- * Paper submission deadline: 29 July 2024: * Paper notification (highly desirable): 30 August 2024: * Workshop date: 25 October 2024: Exact workshop paper submission and author notification due dates are at the discretion of workshop organizers. Note that the paper acceptance notification deadline should remain August 30 (or earlier), so authors of accepted papers still have at least a week to take advantage of Early-Bird Registration fees. Workshop papers will not be included in the ACM proceedings. Any decision on if and where proceedings are to be archived is left to the organizers. To help preserve the authors’ ability to submit a revised version of their paper to a conference or journal, joining the volume is suggested to be left at the discretion of the authors. -------------------------- Chairs Contact Information -------------------------- For more information, contact the Workshop Chairs at cikm2024-workshop [at] easychair [dot] org Vanessa Braganholo, Instituto de Computação Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil Yangqiu Song,Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong

25 Mar '24

* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP * * For the online version of this Call, visit: https://cikm2024.org/call-for-resource-papers/ =============== CIKM 2024: 33rd ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management Boise, Idaho, USA October 21–25, 2024 =============== The Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM) is a premier forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government bodies to share technologies and state-of-the-art research on the emerging aspects of artificial intelligence, data mining, data management, and information retrieval. The resource track at CIKM 2024 provides a unique opportunity to researchers to share and highlight their latest technologies that enable intelligent decision-making, predictive analytics, and machine learning. -------------------------- Key Dates -------------------------- * Resource Papers abstract: 27 May 2024 * Resource Papers: 3 June 2024 * Resource Papers notifications: 16 July 2024 * Camera Ready: 8 August 2024 (All deadlines are at 11:59 pm AOE) -------------------------- Topics of Interest -------------------------- We welcome submissions on all topics in the general areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, databases, information retrieval, and knowledge management. An ideal resource paper’s topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas: * Data resources comprising a new and innovative dataset or protocol, or one created using novel methods and/or algorithms * Data resources labelled using novel and well-described annotation and/or crowdsourcing approaches * Software resources to support research on novel application domains or support novel evaluation or benchmark tasks * Software resources such as prototypes and services, open source frameworks, or tools and libraries which support computing, visualization, evaluation and other exploration tasks in data science, data engineering, or information & knowledge management -------------------------- Paper Submissions -------------------------- Recourse papers must be no more than 4 pages long including appendices, plus unlimited pages for references. Supplementary material: It is allowed to cite supplementary materials including source code, videos, datasets, and demonstration prototypes that are accessible via online platforms like GitHub. Reviewers have the discretion to decide whether or not they will review such materials. The review of the resource papers will be single-blind, which means that the authors should include their names and affiliations in the paper. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee of the Resource track, who will evaluate the novelty of the technical features and/or research being presented, the research and/or development challenges, its expected impact, and its timeliness and relevance for the CIKM audience of practitioners and researchers. Manuscripts should be submitted to CIKM 2024’s Easychair page in PDF format using the ACM’s two-column template “sigconf”, see https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. All papers should be submitted via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cikm24 Papers that include text generated from a large-scale language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, are prohibited unless this produced text is presented as a part of the paper’s experimental analysis. AI tools may be used to edit and polish authors’ work, such as using LLMs for light editing of their text (e.g., automate grammar checks, word autocorrect, and other editing of author-written text), but text “produced entirely” by generative/AI models is not allowed. -------------------------- Authorship Policy -------------------------- Before paper submission, authors should carefully review ACM’s authorship policy, including ACM’s new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/research-involving-human-particip… At least one author of each accepted paper must register to present the work at the conference. -------------------------- Guidelines and review rubric for Resource papers -------------------------- Papers presenting a dataset or a benchmark must publish the datasets and metadata using a dataset-sharing service (e.g., Zenodo, Datorium, Dataverse, or any other dataset-sharing service that indexes your dataset and metadata and increase the re-findability of the data) that provides a DOI for the dataset, which should be included in the dataset paper submission. Ethical considerations must be discussed. Authors are encouraged to include a description of how they intend to make their datasets FAIR. We would also encourage authors to consider addressing the questions covered in the Datasheets for Datasets recommendations. For papers detailing code resources, such as libraries, external tools, frameworks, etc., it is imperative that authors adhere to rigorous standards in code sharing and ethical considerations. Specifically, authors should ensure that their code resources are made publicly available through reputable, code-sharing platforms such as GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or similar services that facilitate code access and enhance code reusability, thereby ensuring transparency and reproducibility. We advocate for the incorporation of best practices in code documentation and versioning, urging authors to provide comprehensive documentation covering code functionalities, dependencies, and potential limitations, fostering transparency and usability in research practices. The reviewing guidelines for the resource paper track will focus on the following criteria: * Novelty: - What is new about this resource? - Does the resource represent an incremental advance or something more dramatic? * Availability: - Is the resource available to the reviewer at the time of review? - Are there discrepancies between what is described and what is available? - Are the licensing/terms of use sufficiently open to allow most academic and industry researchers access to the resource? - If the resource is data collected from people, do appropriate human subjects control board (IRB) procedures appear to have been followed and included in the repo? * Utility: - Is the resource well documented? What level of expertise do you expect is required to make use of the resource? - Are there tutorials or examples? Do they resemble actual uses, or are they toy examples? - If the resource is data, are appropriate tools provided for loading that data? - If the resource is data, are the provenance (source, pre-processing, cleaning, aggregation) stages clearly documented? * Predicted Impact: - What CIKM research activity is enabled by the availability of this resource? - Does the resource advance a well-established research area or a brand new one? - Do you expect that this resource will be useful for a long time, or will it need to be curated or updated? If the latter, is that planned? - How large is the (anticipated) research user community? Will that grow or shrink in the next few years? -------------------------- Ethics of Resource Type Papers -------------------------- Resources are expected to be available as described, where “available” means that most researchers in our community could obtain and make use of the resource without strongly limiting the research they can perform with it. Datasets are expected to be collected in accordance with institutional review board standards and ACM standards of ethics. Reviewers are instructed not to use their reviews as an advocacy platform for these issues but to do what they can to help authors bring their resources to fruition. -------------------------- Disclosure of Competing Interests -------------------------- Disclosure of funding and competing interests: Authors are required to provide an explicit disclosure of funding (financial activities supporting the submitted work) and competing interests (related financial activities outside the submitted work) that could result in conflicts of interest in a section (e.g., “Acknowledgments”) that should be added in the submitted version for review. -------------------------- Dual Submission Policy -------------------------- It is not allowed to submit papers that are identical (or substantially similar) to versions that have been previously published or accepted for publication or that have been submitted in parallel to other conferences (or any venue with published proceedings). Such submissions violate our dual-submission policy. However, submissions are permitted for papers presented or to be presented at conferences or workshops without proceedings or with only abstracts published. Authors may also submit work already available as a preprint (e.g., in arXiv). -------------------------- Desk Rejection Policy -------------------------- Submissions that fail to adhere to the length, or formatting requirements, or violate ACM’s policies on academic dishonesty—such as plagiarism, author misrepresentation, or falsification—may be subject to desk rejection by the chairs. -------------------------- ACM Policy Against Harassment -------------------------- All authors and participants must adhere to the ACM’s discrimination policy. For full details, please visit this site: https://www.acm.org/special-interest-groups/volunteer-resources/officers-ma… -------------------------- Chairs Contact Information -------------------------- For more information, contact the resource chairs at: CIKM2024-resources [at] easychair [dot] org Nicolas Kourtellis, Telefonica, Spain Davide Mottin, Aarhus University, Denmark

by Announce 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

*** First Call for Papers *** ACM 4th International Conference on Information Technology for Social Good (GoodIT''24) Special Track on Educating for a Sustainable Digital Future https://blogs.uni-bremen.de/goodit2024/ ( *** Submission Deadline: 17 May 2024 ***) SCOPE Exploring the development of our digital future requires a comprehensive examination of both individual and societal consequences. Placing excessive emphasis on individual gains, a common practice in individualistic societies for many years, has hindered the ability to grasp the complex dynamics and forward-thinking mindset essential for the sustainability of a contemporary society. The evolving landscape of technology and the ongoing digital advancements have paved the way for creative applications in the field of education, allowing us to adapt to the ever-changing circumstances. When shaping a new approach for Information Systems and Information Technology education, it is crucial to emphasize the significance of individuals as key stakeholders and integral members of the wider community, while also recognizing the pivotal role of collaboration. In this track, we are searching for papers employing innovative technology and approaches to educate the future generation towards world equality, collegiality, inclusion and a more cooperative learning for a sustainable digital future. Values which are emphasized in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which overall aim towards creating a more equitable, sustainable, and peaceful world. This track is particularly relevant to IS/IT educators and those creative IT practitioners who care about developing a sustainable digital future. TOPICS Potential topics for papers include (but are not limited to): • Sustainable and innovative education technologies and practices • Universal access to quality education • The new role for IS/IT in society and education and the value of information and knowledge • The role of cooperative learning for life-long learning and societal developments • Digital transformation: opportunities and challenges for education, work, and society • Digital learning environments: Innovations and trends • Equality, diversity, and inclusion in education, work, and society • The use of large language models and generative AI in education • New topics and domains in IT-enhanced education We hope to attract the interest of IS/IT educators and those creative IT practitioners who care about developing a sustainable digital future. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Please refer to the instructions on the conference web site: https://blogs.uni-bremen.de/goodit2024/submission-of-papers/ . All accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library . IMPORTANT DATES • Submission deadline: 17 May 2024 (AoE) • Notification of acceptance: 8 July 2024 • Camera ready: 19 July 2024 TRACK CHAIRS • George A. Papadopoulos, University of Cyprus, Cyprus • Vasso Stylianou, University of Nicosia, Cyprus CONTACT DETAILS Vasso Stylianou, stylianou.v(a)unic.ac.cy
