[Apologies if your receive multiple copies] WORKSHOP on DISTRIBUTED AGENT-BASED RETRIEVAL TOOLS (DART '06)
at the IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC '06) Pula (Cagliari), Italy, June 26, 2006 http://www.crs4.it/ict/wsdart/ CALL FOR PAPERS The current arena in search engine applications is dominated by large corporations that provide search services based on traditional crawling/indexing tecniques, through powerful clusters. But new needs, technologies and opportunities are addressing the research in this field towards different directions: mobility, ubiquitous access and personalization, P2P systems, both for contents sharing and collaborative computation, open new, exciting perspecitves in the landscape of search applications. The proposed workshop, is aimed at highlighting the cutting edge of search engines' technology and applications, fostering information exchange between researchers working on various fields, such as distributed and pervasive systems, Semantic Web and Web services, mobile and personalized services and applications and compare their efforts against users' and industry's needs and expectations as well as at increasing mutual awareness and cooperation between ongoing projects on advanced search systems around the world. Suggested topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: Large Distributed Computing Systems * P2P for collaborative data intensive computation * Distributed Filesystems * (Semantic) Web Services and Applications * Privacy, Security & Accountability in P2P applications Mobile and Ubiquitous Services and Applications * Location Based Services * Human Machine Interaction * Personalized Services Multimedia Content Discovery and Distribution * Digital Rights Management * Intelligent Agents * Audio-visual indexing and retrieval * Multimedia content adaptation IMPORTANT DATES Extended Abstact Due April 7, 2006 Notification of Acceptance April 13, 2006 Camera-Ready Version Due April 27, 2006 Workshop June 26, 2006 WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS The Workshop "The Future of Search Engines' Technologies" is jointly organized by Tiscali, CRS4 and University of Cagliari, that participate in the project "Distributed Architecture for Semantic Search and Personalized Content Distribution" funded by the Italian Ministry of Research, as well as in several other projects funded by the European Union and the industry Organizers Giuliano Armano University of Cagliari (Italy) Alessandro Soro CRS4 (Italy) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE Maurizio Agelli, CRS4 - Italy.
