24th BCS-IRSG European Colloquium on IR Research

[Mark Girolami]

There is an increasing level of research interest within the
connectionist and machine learning communities on a number of aspects
of information retrieval * evidenced by the number of papers appearing
in recent NIPS and ICML conferences as well as recently organised
post-conference workshops at NIPS on document mining and
retrieval. Therefore the following cfp will be of interest to the
connectionist and ml mailing lists.

The 24th BCS-IRSG European Colloquium on Information Retrieval (IR)
Research - which was the precursor of the ACM SIGIR conference - is
being held in the city of Glasgow, Scotland and submissions reporting
recent research work in this area are welcomed.

24th BCS-IRSG European Colloquium on IR Research
March 25-27, 2002, Glasgow, Scotland, UK

The colloquium on information retrieval research provides an
opportunity for both new and established researchers to present papers
describing work in progress or final results. These Colloquia were
established by the BCS IRSG (British Computer Society Information
Retrieval Specialist Group), and named the Annual Colloquium on
Information Retrieval Research. Recently, the location of the
colloquium has alternated between the United Kingdom and continental
Europe. To reflect the growing European orientation of the event, the
Colloquium was renamed "European Annual Colloquium on Information
Retrieval Research" from 2001.  The previous five colloquia have been
held in Darmstadt (2001), Cambridge (2000), Glasgow (1999), Grenoble
(1998), and Aberdeen (1997).

Details
The colloquium on information retrieval research provides an
opportunity for both new and established researchers to present papers
describing work in progress or final results.

Relevant papers should address (at the theoretical, methodological,
system or application level) the analysis, design or evaluation of
functions like:


Indexing 
Information Extraction 
Data Mining 
Browsing 
Retrieval and Filtering 
User Interaction 
for the following types of documents and databases: 

Monomedia documents (e.g. text, images, audio, voice, video) 
Composite documents 
Multimedia documents 
Hypermedia documents 
Active documents 
Distributed documents and databases
