############# 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:
---------------
- EXTENDED Deadline - 6th May 2011 (due to clash with large number of
public holidays)
- We want to stimulate the European HCIR community with a series of
workshops similar to successful HCIR events in the states.
- 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.**
Submission:
------------------
Participants must submit anonymised 2-4 page ACM format PDFs to the
EasyChair page, optionally indicating whether the submission is from
industry or academia. More details will appear on
