INTRODUCTION

The CIKM 2000 Workshop on New Paradigms in Information Visualization and Manipulation will be a forum for presentation and discussion of new ideas and techniques for accessing, visualizing and manipulating information. NPIVM 2000 will take place in cooperation with the 9th International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM).
We are particularly interested in reports of work in progress, implementation techniques, and practical experience with visualization of information collections of all sizes. Preliminary workshop proceedings will be distributed to all participants; in addition, all the papers will be accessible via this web page.

A significant portion of the workshop agenda will be devoted to discussion of pending research questions, and directions for future work in this area. Prospective participants are invited (but not required) to submit position papers. The suggested maximum length is four pages. The position papers will be reviewed by the organizing committee, and accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings. The accepted papers will be selected for informal presentation at the workshop. Accepted papers that were submitted electronically will be available via WWW by early November.

Final proceedings will be published by ACM Press.
