The 21st ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM 2012) will be 
held from October 29 to November 2, 2012 in Maui, Hawaii, USA. CIKM is a top-tier ACM conference 
in the areas of information retrieval, knowledge management and database. Since 1992, it has 
successfully brought together leading researchers and developers from the three communities.
The purpose of the conference is to identify challenging problems facing the development of future 
knowledge and information systems, and to shape future research directions through the publication 
of high quality, applied and theoretical research findings. In CIKM 2012, we will continue the 
tradition of promoting collaboration among multiple areas, through keynote presentations, oral 
paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, demonstrations, and an industry event.
