CALL FOR PAPERS
SIGIR 2008 Workshop on Aggregated Search
July 24, 2008 Singapore
http://www.yr-bcn.es/si
gir08/
OVERVIEW
The search paradigm by which a user types in 3 or 4 words
for a query,
and receives a ranked list of results, becomes less
effective when the
information the user seeks is not contained in a single
document, or
even in a single category of resource. Furthermore, such an
interface
which requires a user to scan a ranked list, and click the
result and
then search the document for the information, is cumbersome
if the user
is using a mobile phone, or hand-held device. As this is an
emerging
area of interest, in a fast-growing and dynamic environment,
there are a
number of directions search technology might take.
Aggregated search is
the task of searching and assembling information from a
variety of
sources, placing it in a single interface.
Examples of aggregated search include Alpha Yahoo and
Universal Search
by Google. A single query yields results from a variety of
vertical
searches, including image, video, community question
answering sites,
news articles, and sponsored results. The challenge is to
decide what
vertical properties to present results from, and how to
organize the
results for the user. Furthermore, although Alpha Yahoo and
Universal
Search are restricted to textual queries, it need not be the
case as the
uses for search expand into a wider range of devices.
We encourage submission of papers and demos about result
aggregation
over a variety of information sources such as blogs, images,
etc., the
design of user interfaces for aggregated results and the
evaluation of
such systems. These papers and demos must be within the
overall workshop
theme of the aggregated search. The emphasis of the workshop
is on
future directions for aggregated search.
