The Mira working group consisted of 13 European Information Retrieval (IR)
and information science research groups with a special interest in the
evaluation of interactive IR systems. The papers in this, the final Mira
workshop, reflect the diversity of approaches to evaluating IR, with topics
ranging from experimental studies of user behaviour to theoretical models
of information seeking.
