Topics of Interest

We seek demonstrations that showcase exciting new technologies and early prototypes within the scope of CIKM, as well as case studies from more mature systems with innovative features and functionalities. We welcome submissions on all topics in the general areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, databases, information retrieval, and knowledge management.

Submission Guidelines

Demo papers should describe the intended audience, point out the innovative aspects of the system being presented, and explain how those aspects contribute to the state of the art in knowledge, data, and information management. The submissions must also make clear what the audience will experience during the demo, what kind of functionality is supported, user scenarios, interface and interaction options provided, and how it is compared with existing systems (if any). Submissions that are case studies should also explain the case being demonstrated. Authors may also include a URL of a screencast video (up to 10 minutes), screenshots, and additional external material (e.g., shared code on GitHub). A demo paper must be no more than 4 pages long, plus unlimited references.

Manuscripts should be submitted to CIKM 2022’s Easychair site in PDF format, using the ACM sigconf template, see https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to present the work as scheduled in the conference program. Additional details for the hybrid conference will be published on the conference website.

The review of the demo papers will be single-blind. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee of the demos 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. Demo papers that describe case studies from mature systems will also be evaluated on the relevance of the system and innovative features and functionalities that are being included in the demonstration.

Accepted demo papers will be part of the main conference proceedings.

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. Such submissions violate our dual submission policy. There are several exceptions to this rule:

• Submission is permitted for papers presented or to be presented at conferences or workshops without proceedings, or with only abstracts published.
• Submission is permitted for papers that have previously been made available as a technical report (or similar, e.g., in arXiv).
