CALL FOR PAPERS

International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Information Retrieval

KDIR website: http://www.kdir.ic3k.org/

Paris, France, 26-29 October, 2011

In cooperation with AAAI and Lissi Laboratory
Hosted by the University PARIS-EST Créteil (UPEC)
Sponsored by INSTICC
INSTICC is member of: WfMC, FIPA and OMG


This meeting takes place yearly, bringing together top researchers and
practitioners in knowledge technologies, especially those related to
KDIR main topic areas. The conference is co-located with two related
conferences in a joint conference (IC3K - http://www.ic3k.org/)
format, namely:
- Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Development
(http://www.keod.ic3k.org/)
- Knowledge Management and Information Sharing 
(http://www.kmis.ic3k.org/)
Registration to one conference allows free access to all conferences.

KDIR is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be
confirmed by last year's acceptance rates, where from 127 submissions,
10% were accepted as full papers. Additionally, 29% were presented as
short papers and 23% as posters.

IC3K is characterized for including every year the participation of
several distinguished invited speakers that highly contribute to
heighten the conference level. You can check the complete list of
previous invited speakers on-line at
http://www.ic3k.org/previous_invited_speakers.asp This year, the list
already includes Prof. Jay Liebowitz but should be enlarged soon.

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All
accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under
an ISBN reference, on paper and CD-ROM support. The proceedings will
be submitted for indexation by major international indexers, including
INSPEC, DBLP, Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index
and EI. A short list of high quality papers presented at the
conference will be selected so that revised and extended versions of
these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
Communications in Computer and Information Science Series (CCIS). DEHU

Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing
session. Please check the website for further information
(http://www.kdir.ic3k.org/best_paper_awards.asp).

All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the
SciTePress Digital Library
(http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/).

Workshops and special sessions are also invited. If you wish to
propose a workshop or a special session, for example based on the
results of a specific research project, please contact the
secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit
from logistics support and other types of support, including
secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a
valid idea.


Proceedings will be submitted for indexation by major international
indexers, including INSPEC, DBLP, Thomson Reuters Conference
Proceedings Citation Index and EI.  Best papers published in a book by
Springer-Verlag.  All papers presented at the conference venue will be
available at the SciTePress Digital Library.
