Call for Papers
The primary aim of the workshop is to provide an international meeting place where researchers from the domain of information retrieval and related disciplines, can exchange information and present new research developments. This year, the programme committee especially welcomes contributions focusing on retrieval tasks specific to certain domains, e.g., biomedical, enterprise or cultural heritage information.
Authors who are interested in presenting original research at the workshop are invited to submit papers on or before January 15, 2004. Papers should be maximum 8 pages long, and formatted in ACM SIG Proceedings style. Submissions will be reviewed by at least two domain experts. Papers can cover any topic related to IR, including:
Papers may range from theoretical work to system descriptions. We especially welcome contributions from industry. Best ranked papers will be considered for a special issue of an international journal (under negotiation). The conference language is English.
