BCS IRSG Search Solutions 2007
Wednesday 23rd May
BCS London HQ, Covent Garden
Search Solutions is a special one-day event devoted to the interests and
needs of information retrieval practitioners. This event explores the
challenges involved in designing and developing practical solutions for
information search and retrieval, and aims to build bridges between IR
specialists in industry and academia. This forum presents an opportunity
for commercial organisations to share their work with a wider audience,
and for researchers to learn more about the issues faced by search
professionals in developing innovative search and retrieval products and
services.
Search Solutions is based on last year's Industry Day (ID2006), an event
which was collocated with the European Conference in Information
Retrieval. Due to the success of ID 2006, this new BCS-IRSG event follows
a similar format, where a number of invited speakers involved in
developing search solutions for leading companies present their latest
developments and share opinions and expertise.
