The International Conference on Information Quality (ICIQ) is 
hosted annually since 1996 at the MIT in Cambridge, MA. Thus, in 
2005 we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of ICIQ. Each year 
the conference has attracted numerous researchers and practioners 
from many fields, and has attracted many high-quality submissions
from both academics and industry. In addition to the official 
program, there is plenty of opportunity for informal discussions.
