Call for Papers
The annual European Conference on Information Retrieval is
the main European forum for the presentation of new research results in
the field of Information Retrieval.
We encourage the submission of high-quality research papers
reporting new, unpublished, and innovative research results
within information retrieval.
The conference intends to cover all aspects of
accessing digital information without explicitly
specified semantics. Papers whose sole or main author is an
MSc, PhD, or postdoctoral student are especially welcome.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
IR models, techniques, and algorithms
Searching, browsing, meta-searching, data fusion, filtering, and indexing
Text and content classification, mining, extraction, and summarisation
Topic detection, and tracking
Personalised, collaborative, recommender, user-adaptive IR
Improvements on existing and new IR models
Compression, performance, optimisation
Users, society, and IR
User modelling, user studies, user interaction in IR systems
Novel user interfaces for IR systems
Visualisation and presentation of queries, search results, and content
Information management
Cross-language and multi-language IR
IR applications
Web IR
Mobile and ubiquitous IR
Digital libraries
IR system architectures
Distributed
Parallel
Mobile
Multimodal
Open, interoperable, and flexible
Content representation, and processing
IR and structured content e.g. XML based
Unstructured content
Meta information and structures
Test and evaluation methods for IR systems
Test collections and bench marking
User-oriented and user-centred test and evaluation
Multimedia and cross-media IR
Speech and IR
Image and video IR
Digital music, radio, and TV
All papers will be refereed through blind peer review.
Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published
by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series,
which will be distributed to all delegates at the Conference.
Poster 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.
Poster abstracts (3 pages) will be included in the proceedings.
An award will be presented to the author of the Best Student Paper.
Submission details
-------------------
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically, in PS or PDF format in
close accord with the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science Guidelines
