The purpose of the conference is to identify challenging problems facing the development of future knowledge and information systems, and to shape future research directions through the publication of high quality, applied and theoretical research findings. In CIKM 2008, we continued the tradition of promoting collaboration among the general areas of databases, information retrieval, and knowledge management. This year's call for papers attracted almost 800 submissions from Asia, Canada, Europe, Africa, and the United States.
