The K-CAP 2007 Program Committee invites proposals for the Workshop
Program for K-CAP 2007. Workshops will be held on Sunday, October 28th,
the day before the regular conference technical sessions begin, at the
conference hotel in Whistler, BC, Canada.
K-CAP workshops provide an informal setting where workshop 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.

* April 25, 2007: Acceptance notification
