It is the goal of the CIKM 2011 Tutorial Program to offer conference
attendees and local participants a stimulating and informative
selection of tutorials reflecting current topics in databases,
information retrieval, and knowledge management.  These tutorials will
be presented by subject matter experts and will reflect the high
academic and research standards of the CIKM 2011 conference.  We
encourage submissions of tutorial proposal on all topics in the
general areas of databases, information retrieval, and knowledge
management, especially tutorials bridging these areas, or presenting
new perspectives in these areas. A full list of current topics of
interest will be found at <http://www.cikm2011.org/callforpapers>.

Proposals will be considered for half-day and full-day
tutorials. Topics should have a direct relevance to the topics of the
conference. Anticipated areas of interest at the time of CIKM 2011
include topics related to database, information retrieval and
knowledge management theory, technologies, and applications. A list of
