Call for Workshop Proposals

The K-CAP 2011 Program Committee invites proposals for the Workshop 
Program at K-CAP 2011. Workshops and Tutorials will be held on Saturday, 
June 26th,

the day before the regular conference technical sessions begin, at the 
Banff Conference Center, Alberta.

K-CAP workshops provide an informal setting where the participants have 
the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere 
that fosters the

active exchange of ideas. Our aim for the workshop program is to promote 
and collect multidisciplinary research directions that contribute to 
knowledge capture

from a variety of sources. Members from all research areas related to 
knowledge capture are invited to submit workshop proposals. We 
particularly welcome

workshops at discipline boundaries.

To encourage interaction and a broad exchange of ideas, each workshop 
will be limited to 30 participants and ample time will be allotted for 
general discussion.
