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 2006 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 20 pages 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 conference proceedings 
handed out at the symposium and can be referenced 
as papers that appeared in the Proceedings of the 
2006 International Symposium on Wikis as well. 
Practitioner reports should not be longer than 
6000 words and 12 pages and should meet the ACM SIG Proceedings Format.

Demonstration, workshop, and panel submissions 
will be reviewed for their interest to the 
community. A submission should consist of two 
pages describing what you intend to do and how 
you meet this criterion. It should include a 
100-word abstract and one-paragraph bios of all 
people relevant to the submission. Demonstrations 
will be presented in a joint demonstration 
session, workshops will get a half-day or a 
full-day and a room of their own (depending on 
your request), and panels will get a 90min slot at the symposium.

Please submit your papers or proposals in PDF 
format by the respective deadline through our 
submission system, which will be available 
through the WikiSym website. Questions should be 
directed respectively at pa...@wi... 
(research papers and practitioner reports), 
wor...@wi... (workshops), 
pa...@wi... (panels), or de...@wi... (demonstrations).
