> and will be presented at the workshop (SEE BELOW).
>
> In addition, we would like to organise a session
> consisting of *five-minute talks*, to provide an opportunity for:
> (a) NTCIR participants who would like to discuss some specific evaluation
> issues
> (metrics, data, methods);
> (b) ANYONE (including non-NTCIR participants) who would like to
> discuss possible future NTCIR tasks, evaluation issues in general,
> and/or present late-breaking results on evaluation.
>
> All NTCIR participants are expected to describe their *systems*
> at the main NTCIR sessions. Whereas the focus of EVIA
> is on *how to evaluate* those systems.
>
> If you would like to contribute to this session,
> please submit a "very short" paper (up to TWO pages)
> to
> https://www.softconf.com/s08/EVIA2008/
> by *November 2*.

> Unlike the regular and short papers,
> these "very-short" papers will NOT be reviewed.
> However, we will NOT accept papers that

> Late submissions, as well as those that do not conform to
> the style guidelines and the page limit, will not be accepted either.
