SIGIR 2007: 1st Call for Posters and Demonstrations

SIGIR 2007:  Call for Posters and Call for Demonstrations

    The 30th Annual International ACM SIGIR Conference on
      Research and Development in Information Retrieval
         23-27 July 2007, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
                  http://www.sigir2007.org

SIGIR is the major international forum for the presentation
of new 
research results and for the demonstration of new systems
and techniques
in the broad field of information retrieval (IR). The
Conference and 
Program Chairs invite all those working in areas related to
IR to submit 
original research contributions, posters, and demonstrations
of systems.

*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.
They further
provide researchers with an opportunity to obtain direct
feedback about 
their work from a wide range of persons during the poster
session.

Posters should focus on problems and methodology of the
presented 
research. Extended abstracts describing the work will be
reviewed and 
published in the conference proceedings. Please note
however, that 
posters describing work at the proposal stage will not be
accepted.

Submissions of extended abstracts for posters must be in
English and 
should not exceed 2 pages in SIGIR format (including
references and 
figures). Suitable LaTeX and Word templates for SIGIR are
available 
from the ACM Website. The only accepted form for submissions
are PDF 
files, which need to be uploaded via the SIGIR electronic
submission 
web page. As with full papers, authors are encouraged to
conceal their 
identity where it is practical to do so. 

Submissions need to be received by February 25, 2007. Late
submissions 
will be rejected without further consideration. 

*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 welcomed in any of the
areas 
identified in the call for papers. One-page demonstration
abstracts 
will appear in the conference proceedings.

Submissions must be in English and consist of an extended
abstract 
(one page in SIGIR format including references and figures)
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.

Submissions should be in PDF format. Unlike posters and
research 
papers, authors of demonstration proposals are not expected
to take 
measures to conceal their identity from reviewers.
Demonstration 
proposals must be submitted by February 25, 2007.

February 25, 2007: Poster, demonstration, tutorial, and
workshop submissions
March 11, 2007:    Doctoral consortium submissions due
