WikiWikiWeb, will present the opening keynote talk at WikiSym 2005.

SUBMISSION DETAILS<br>
<br>
Research papers will be reviewed by the committee to meet rigorous
academic standards of publication. Research papers are expected to
advance the state of the art by describing substantiated new research or
novel technical results or by reporting on significant experience or
experimentation. They are reviewed both with respect to conceptual
quality and clarity of presentation.<br>
<br>
Accepted research papers will be provided as part of the conference
proceedings. They will be put into the ACM Digital Library and can be
referenced as papers that appeared in the <i>Proceedings of the 2005
International Symposium on Wikis.</i> At the symposium, the presenter
will be given a 25min + 5min Q&A presentation slot. Research papers
should not be longer than 10000 words and should meet the ACM SIG
Proceedings Format, see
<a href="http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html" eudora="autourl">
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html</a>.<br>
<br>
Practitioner reports will be reviewed for suitability of presentation to
the community. The primary evaluation criterion is the interest to the
community. Practitioner reports will be provided as part of the companion
to the conference proceedings handed out at the symposium and can be
referenced as papers that appeared in the <i>Companion to the Proceedings
of the 2005 International Symposium on Wikis.</i> Practitioner reports
should not be longer than 6000 words and should meet the ACM SIG
Proceedings Format.<br>
<br>
Demonstration, workshop, and panel submissions will be reviewed for their
interest to the community. Submit two pages of description of what you
intend to do and how you meet this criterion. Please include a 100-word
abstract and one-paragraph bios of all people relevant to the submission.
Demonstrations will get 45min slots in a booth of their own, workshops
will get a half-day and a room of their own, and panels will get a 90min
slot at the symposium.<br>
<br>
Please submit your papers or proposals in PDF format (or postscript, if
you must) by the respective deadline to submissions@wikisym.org.<br>
<br>
