OVERVIEW

The 2005 International Symposium on Wikis brings together wiki researchers,

demonstrations, and discussions. We are honored to announce that Ward 
Cunningham, the inventor and host of the original WikiWikiWeb, will present 
the opening keynote talk at WikiSym 2005. Anyone who is involved in using, 
researching, or developing wikis is invited to WikiSym 2005!

SUBMISSION DETAILS

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.

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 Proceedings of the 2005 
International Symposium on Wikis. 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 
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.

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 Companion to the Proceedings of 
the 2005 International Symposium on Wikis. Practitioner reports should not 
be longer than 6000 words and should meet the ACM SIG Proceedings Format.

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.

Please submit your papers or proposals in PDF format (or postscript, if you 
must) by the respective deadline to [log in to unmask]
