Subject: [pim-disc] CFP: SIGIR 2010 Workshop on DESKTOP SEARCH (Understanding, Supporting and Evaluating Personal Data Search)
***Call for papers a SIGIR 2010 workshop on Desktop Search (Understanding, Supporting and Evaluating Personal Data Search), July 23, Geneva, Switzerland (http://www.cdvp.dcu.ie/DS2010/)***
Desktop Search Workshop
Understanding, Supporting, and Evaluating Personal Data Search
A SIGIR 2010 workshop, July 23, Geneva, Switzerland
http://www.cdvp.dcu.ie/DS2010/
Desktop search refers to the process of searching within ones personal space of information. The information searched during a desktop search can include content that resides on one's personal computer (e.g., documents, emails, visited Web pages, and multimedia files), and may extend to content on other personal devices, such as music players and mobile phones. Despite recent research interest, desktop search is under-explored compared to other search domains such as the web, semi-structured data, or flat text.
This workshop will bring together researchers interested in desktop search with the goal of fostering collaborations and addressing the challenges faced in this area. The workshop will be structured to encourage group discussion and active collaboration among attendees. We encourage participation from researchers in the fields of information retrieval, personal information management, natural language processing, human-computer interaction, and related areas.
Understanding desktop search behavior
· Studies of desktop search behavior
· Desktop query log analysis
· Psychological aspects of re-finding (e.g., peoples memories of items)
Supporting desktop search
· Retrieval approaches (e.g., content analysis, search algorithms)
· Personalization to account for highly individual collections and needs
· Interfaces for desktop search and presentation of results
Evaluating desktop search
· Evaluation approaches (e.g., test collections, lab studies, log analyses)
· Test set creation (e.g., common reference task, common corpora)
Other uses of desktop collections
· Life-logging
· Introspection and reflection using personal collections
Submission Guidelines
Short papers (max 4 pages) and short position papers (max 2 pages) describing significant work in progress, late breaking results or ideas / challenges for the domain are invited. Submissions should be in ACM SIGIR format. LaTeX and Word templates are available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates (for LaTeX, use the "Option 2" style).
Anonymised papers in pdf format should be submitted to http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=desktop2010 no later than midnight Pacific Daylight Time on June 3, 2010. Submissions will be subject to triple-blind reviewing.
Important Dates
June 3, 2010 Deadline for paper submission
June 27, 2010 Notification to authors
July 5, 2010 Camera-ready copy due
July 23, 2010 Workshop
