Call for Papers
Second International Symposium on Information Interaction in
Context
(IIiX)
14-17 October, 2008, bond, UK
http://irsg.bcs.org/iii
x2008/
Submission deadline for all contributions: May 1, 2008.
************************************************************
*********
The availability of information across media and genres,
across
languages, and across modalities constantly increases. How
people access
this information is highly dependent on the context of their
interaction
and this context is influenced by a range of factors such as
the time,
place, and history of interaction, the tasks motivating the
interaction
and the technical possibilities of the information systems.
Although the
use of information systems is heavily affected by contextual
factors,
Information Retrieval and Seeking research is largely
conducted out of
context.
IIiX will explore the relationships between the contexts
that affect
Information Retrieval and Seeking, how these contexts impact
on
information behaviour, and how knowledge of information
contexts can
help design truly interactive information systems.
IIiX invites research contributions that approach
information contexts
from a broad range of perspectives, such as context
surrounding
documents, context influencing seeking, humans and their
tasks, the
context of information seekers and providers, the context of
interactive
search, and the technical contexts of information systems.
IIiX encourages the submission of original, high quality
research papers
that have not been previously published and are not under
review for
another conference or journal, in any of the symposium
topics of
interest. All submissions will be reviewed by an
international programme
committee, and all accepted research papers will be
published in the
symposium proceedings by a major publisher. Submissions may
either be
full research papers (max 5000 words) or research in
progress papers
(max 2000 words). Full details on submissions are available
on the
symposium web page (http://irsg.bcs.org/iii
x2008/).
Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the
following:
* Case studies, field experiments, simulations, etc. of
context-sensitive
information seeking & retrieval
* Context-aware retrieval models
* Relevance feedback - implicit & explicit - and query
modification
issues for capturing context
* Other approaches to eliciting, identifying and
expressing/capturing
contextual information
* Task-based interactive information retrieval and seeking
behaviour
* The effect of genre, media, language, modality and
structure on
context
* Personalised and collaborative information access in
context
* Contextual information interaction theory
* Interactive information retrieval and interface issues
* Nature of relevance in contexts
* Measures of performance in context and situation-sensitive
information
access
* Test collections for context-sensitive research
