Call for Papers
First International Symposium on Information Interaction in
Context
(IIiX)
18-20 October, 2006, Copenhagen, Denmark http://www.db.dk/IIiX/
Submission deadline for all contributions May 1, 2006
Information is increasingly available across media and
genres, across
languages, and across modalities. 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 are 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
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://www.db.dk/IIiX/)
IIiX also host a dedicated Doctoral Forum on the day
preceding the
conference (details on IIiX webpage)
