University, Dublin City University, University of Essex

*************************************************
The European Conference on Information Retrieval provides an
opportunity for both new and established researchers to present research papers
reporting new, unpublished, and innovative research results within information
retrieval.
We are seeking the submission of high-quality and original
research papers that have not been previously published and are not under
review for another conference or journal. Submissions will be reviewed by
experts on the basis of the originality of the work, the validity of the
results, chosen methodology, writing quality and the overall contribution to
the field of Information Retrieval. ECIR has traditionally had a strong student
focus. Papers whose sole or main author is a young researcher and in
particular, postgraduate student or postdoctoral researcher are especially
welcome. Poster and demo submissions addressing any of the areas identified in
the conference topics are also invited. Authors are encouraged to demonstrate
work in progress and late-breaking research results. Papers that demonstrate a
high level of research adventure or which break out of the traditional IR
paradigms are particularly welcome.
The Program Chairs invite for the submission of original
research papers and posters in all areas of Information Retrieval, including
but not limited to:
- Enterprise Search, Intranet, Desktop, Adversarial IR
- Web IR
- Digital libraries
- IR Theory and Formal Models
- Web log analysis
- Distributed IR, peer to peer IR, Mobile IR,
Fusion/Combination
- Multimedia IR
- Cross-language retrieval, Multilingual retrieval, Machine
translation for IR
- Topic detection and tracking, Routing, Content-based
filtering, Collaborative filtering, Agents, Spam filtering
- Question answering, NLP for IR, Summarization, Lexical
acquisition
- Text Data Mining
- Opinion Mining, Sentiment Analysis
- Text Categorization, Clustering
- Performance, Scalability, Architectures, Efficiency,
Platforms
- Indexing, Query representation, Query reformulation,
Structure-based representation, XML
- Metadata, Social networking/tagging
- Evaluation methods and metrics, Experimental design, Test
collection
- Interactive IR, User studies, User models, Task-based IR
- User interfaces and visualization
- Other domain-specific IR (e.g., Genomic IR, legal IR, IR
for chemical structures)
- Blog and online-community search
Authors are invited to submit research papers presenting
original, previously unpublished, work on or before 1 October 2009. Submissions
must be written in English following the LNCS guidelines and must not exceed 12
pages including references and figures. All papers will be refereed through
blind peer review. Accepted papers will be published in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series. To allow a high degree of interaction, ECIR 2010 will
have two presentation formats for full papers. They will either be presented
orally or in poster format. The 12 page limit in the proceedings applies
equally to these papers. There will be a separate call for posters/demos and
workshops/tutorials. The proceedings will be distributed to all delegates at
the Conference.
