Hacettepe University and the Goethe-Institutes in Turkey.

IMCW2014 will be held jointly with the 10th International Conference on
Knowledge Management (ICKM2014) at the same venue so that participants will
have a chance to attend both events.

*MAIN THEME*

The main theme of the Symposium is “*Research Data Management and Knowledge
Discovery*”. It aims to bring together researchers, data scientists,
computer engineers, data repository managers, information scientists and
information professionals, data librarians and archivists to discuss the
issues pertinent to research data management and open data repositories,
and to contemplate on how to design and develop innovative and
collaborative knowledge discovery and mining services over the research
data.

*CONTRIBUTIONS*

Contributions can be theoretical as well as technical and practical.
 Informative case studies are also welcome.

We accept* extended abstracts* (no less than 750 words) for full papers;
short communications, Research in Progress reports, visual presentations
(“pecha kuchas”) and posters on all aspects of innovative and collaborative
research data management and knowledge discovery. Extended abstracts for
student papers and posters are also welcome.  Extended abstracts of PhD
students to present the interim findings of their ongoing research will
also be considered. Please use the template available on the Symposium web
site to prepare your contributions and send them to us using the Conference
Management Software (openconf) *by March 16, 2014.*

We also accept proposals to organize workshops.  Proposals should include a
title, a short abstract, proposal type, the name and contact information of
the convener and be addressed toimcw2014 at gmail.com* by* *March 16, 2014*.

We also encourage session proposals. The coordinator of a special session
will be responsible for the selection of papers (4-6 papers) and will chair
the session.  For session coordinators, registration fee will be waived.

Accepted extended abstracts may be developed as full papers.  A short list
of papers will be selected so that the revised and extended versions of
these papers and posters will appear in the proceedings book to be

Science (CCIS) series (decision pending) and the Symposium web site.
 Papers that appear in Springer’s CCIS series are indexed in Thomson
