Call For Papers --------------- Third International Workshop on Web Information Retrieval Support Systems (WIRSS 2010) August 31, 2010 Toronto, Canada Held in collaboration with the 2010 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2010), August 31 - September 3, 2010 in Toronto, Canada. WIRSS 2010: http://uxlab.cs.mun.ca/wirss2010/ WI 2010: http://www.yorku.ca/wiiat10/index.php --- WIRSS 2010 OVERVIEW --- The focus of the Third International Workshop on Web Information Retrieval Support Systems is on the aspects of Web information retrieval that consider the specific needs of individuals conducting Web searches. Web Information Retrieval Support Systems (WIRSS) move beyond the traditional focus of automated searching within digital collections, applying intelligent methods and Web-based technologies to assist users in specifying their information needs, evaluating and exploring search results, and managing the information they find. Fundamentally, WIRSS research supports a change in design philosophy, moving the focus of Web search from the documents being searched to the tasks that people need to perform. We believe this philosophical shift will mark the move towards next-generation Web search systems, and a transition from information retrieval to knowledge retrieval. The aim of this workshop is to bring together academic and industry researchers to discuss advances in providing intelligent support for the user-centric tasks associated with Web search. Researchers from diverse fields such as information retrieval, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, information visualization, Web systems, natural language processing, and agent systems are invited to contribute to this workshop. --- WORKSHOP TOPICS --- - interactive query refinement - search results representations and visualization - search results exploration - re-finding information - search results storage and organization - document summarization - personalization - multi-level and multi-view representations - Web search user behaviour - user studies of WIRSS - knowledge management systems - human-centred search --- WORKSHOP FORMAT --- The WIRSS 2010 Workshop is being offered as a full-day workshop at the 2010 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2010), August 31 - September 3, 2010 in Toronto, Canada. A single registration entitles delegates to attend the workshops and the full conference. --- SUBMISSIONS --- All papers for the WIRSS 2010 Workshop are to be submitted through the WI/IAT 2010 Workshop Paper Submission system. The length of accepted papers should not exceed 4 pages in the IEEE-CS format. Extra payment is only available for one additional page. The details for the submission procedures and the style files for preparing your paper are provided on the Workshop Web site (http://uxlab.cs.mun.ca/wirss2010/). All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee on the basis of: - technical quality - relevance to Web Information Retrieval Support Systems - originality and significance of the research - clarity of the writing --- IMPORTANT DATES --- April 16, 2010: Due date for workshop paper submission June 7, 2010: Notification of paper acceptance June 21, 2010: Camera-ready of accepted papers August 31, 2010: WIRSS 2010 Workshop --- ORGANIZING COMMITTEE/WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS --- Orland Hoeber, Memorial University, Canada hoe...@cs.mun.ca Yiyu Yao, University of Regina, Canada y...@cs.uregina.ca --- PROGRAM COMMITTEE --- Elizabeth Diaz, University of Texas at Permian Basin, United States Daqing He, University of Pittsburgh, United States Pavol Navrat, Slovak University of Technology, Slovakia Vijay Raghavan, University of Louisiana Lafayette, United States Biren Shah, Hewlett-Packard, United States Rahul Singh, San Francisco State University, United States Peter Vojtas, Charles University, Czech Republic Geraldo Xexeo, DCC/IM/UFRJ, Brazil Ying Xie, Kennesaw State University, United States Xue Dong Yang, University of Regina, Canada --- INQUIRIES --- If you require further information, please contact Orland Hoeber at hoe...@cs.mun.ca -- Dr. Orland Hoeber Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science Memorial University of Newfoundland hoe...@mun.ca http://www.cs.mun.ca/~hoeber/ http://uxlab.cs.mun.ca/
