FROM THE GENERAL CHAIRS
=======================
The Sixth International Conference on Information and Knowledge
Management (CIKM'97) will be an opportunity for people working in the
areas of database management, information retrieval, and artificial
intelligence to meet and discuss problems of mutual interest. The
CIKM conference, sponsored again this year by the Association for
Computing Machinery (ACM) and its Special Interest Groups on
Information Retrieval (SIGIR) and Artificial Intelligence (SIGART), is
an annual, international forum for the dissemination of original ideas
in information and knowledge management.
The distinguishing characteristic of the CIKM conference series is to
foster close collaboration between the database, information retrieval,
and artificial intelligence communities. Under the leadership of
Professors Forouzon Golshani and Kia Makki, the Program Committee has
selected an excellent set of papers.
We are pleased to again offer a program of tutorials at CIKM'97, and we
hope that many of you will take advantage of these opportunities for
professional development. CIKM'97 continues the conference's
tradition of workshops designed to present the newest developments in
areas of interest to our community.
This year's conference will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada. The wide
variety of entertainment offered by this great city are readily
accessible to CIKM'97 attendees. We look forward to seeing you at
CIKM'97 in November.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
==================
As usual, the CIKM'97 technical program consists of invited and peer
refereed technical papers intermixed with panels and surrounded by
tutorials and workshops. The invited talks address the important and
emerging issues in the development of next generation information
systems. The panels focus on some of the issues that are topics of
much current debate. The eight tutorials represent some of the hottest
R&D topics in the areas relavant to the theme of this year's
conference. The refereed technical papers (48) were selected from 156
submissions. An outline of the conference program is shown below, details
