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 one’s
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 academics and industrial practitioners 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 people in the fields of information
retrieval, personal information management, natural language processing,
human-computer interaction, and related areas. The topics of the workshop include but are
not limited to:
·
Studies of desktop search behavior ·
Desktop query log analysis ·
Psychological aspects of re-finding (e.g., people’s
memories of items)
·
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
·
Evaluation approaches (e.g., test collections, lab studies, log
analyses) ·
Test set creation (e.g., common reference task, common corpora)
·
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. Accepted papers will be published in the
workshop proceedings. These proceedings will be distributed to workshop
participants and made available on-line. At the workshop we will discuss the
possibility of publishing in a journal special issue or similar. Important Dates June 3, 2010 – Deadline for paper
