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
