Call
for Posters and Demos – Submission deadline: October 22, 2009
32nd
European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR 2010)
The Open
University, Milton Keynes, UK.
28 - 31
March 2010
In cooperation
with: BCS-IRSG, ACM SIGIR, The Open University, Dublin City University,
University of Essex
http://kmi.open.ac.uk/events/ecir2010/
Overview
The annual BCS-IRSG European Conference on Information Retrieval
is the main European forum for the presentation of new research results in the
field of Information Retrieval. The conference encourages the submission of
high quality research papers reporting original, previously unpublished
results. The 32nd European Conference on Information Retrieval will be held at
The Open University in Milton Keynes, UK from the 28th to the 31st of March
2010.
Call
for Posters
Poster presentations offer researchers a unique opportunity to
present late-breaking results, significant work in progress or research that is
best communicated in an interactive or graphical format, for which there is
more time for discussion and questions than is sometimes available in a full
paper session. Poster presentations are also a good way to present work
applying information retrieval approaches and techniques to new domains and
problems. Please note, however, that posters describing work at the proposal
stage will not be accepted. Authors are invited to submit posters presenting
original, previously unpublished, work on or before 22 October 2009.
Submissions must be in English and must not exceed 4 pages. Authors are
encouraged to conceal their identity where it is practical to do so. All
posters will be refereed through double-blind peer review. All accepted posters
will be published in the conference proceedings.
Poster submissions are welcome 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
Call
for Demonstrations
Demonstrations present first-hand experience with research
prototypes or operational systems. They provide opportunities to exchange ideas
gained from implementing IR systems and to obtain feedback from expert users.
Demonstration submissions are welcome in any of the areas identified above.
One-page demonstration abstracts will appear in the conference proceedings.
Authors are invited to submit demonstration outlines presenting
original, previously unpublished, work on or before 22 October 2009.
Submissions must be in English and consist of an extended abstract and an
additional one-page requirements description. The abstract should emphasize
what the implemented system aims to achieve, the major components of the
system, the novelty of the techniques that have been implemented, and
comparisons with comparable systems. The requirements description should
identify the hardware, software and network access requirements for the
demonstration. Network connections and computers with standard Web browsers can
be provided upon request. Proposals to demonstrate systems that require more
than a standard Web browser (e.g., context-aware mobile systems or virtual
reality systems) must explain how the systems will be demonstrated at the
conference. Unlike posters, authors of demonstration proposals are not expected
to take measures to conceal their identity from reviewers.
Submissions
All submissions should follow the Springer LNCS formatting
guidelines, available at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0.
All posters and demos should be submitted electronically in PDF
format at http://www.conftool.net/ecir2010/ on or
before 22 October 2009.
