############# euroHCIR2011 @ HCI2011 || Call for Participation ############
1st European Workshop on Human-Computer Interaction and Information Retrieval
- 4th July at the BCS HCI2011 Conference, Newcastle, UK
Key Points:
---------------
- We want to stimulate the European HCIR community with a series of workshops similar to successful HCIR events in the states.
- Submission Deadline: 1st May 2011
- Details are online: http://fitlab.eu/euroHCIR2011/
Call for Papers:
--------------------
In common with the wider HCIR community, this workshop will be focused on submissions based on, but not limited to, the following topics:
• Novel interaction techniques for information retrieval.
• Modelling and evaluation of interactive information retrieval.
• Exploratory search and information discovery.
• Information visualization and visual analytics.
• Applications of HCI techniques to information retrieval needs in specific domains.
• Ethnography and user studies relevant to information retrieval and access.
• Scale and efficiency considerations for interactive information retrieval systems.
• Relevance feedback and active learning approaches for information retrieval.
Industry - The enterprise and web search experiences from professionals, such as UX designers etc, are a key part of understanding excellence in HCIR design. We are inviting case studies and position papers that go beyond a simple narrative to describe lessons learned for the community.
**Industry submissions will be evaluated more in terms of their contributions to lessons learned than through pure academic merit.**
Academia - From the research community, we are interested in late breaking results, or challenging, controversial, or insightful position papers that might shape the way the HCIR community thinks ahead.
** Academic contributions will be evaluated in terms of their contribution to the thinking and discussion for the workshop and the community.**
