IC'2003 Section on Search and Information Retrieval for the Web
Call for papers (Closed- the deadline has passed)
Search is one of the most important applications on the Web. However, there are still
many issues that should be addressed in the design and implementation of search and
mining applications for the Web. The focus of this section includes, but is not limited to:
- Algorithms and data structures for search
- Web graph analysis and ranking
- Federated and P2P search
- Indexing techniques
- XML search and indexing
- Data and content management for the Web
- Web mining and machine learning
- Result quality evaluation
- Web query characteristics
- Indexing and search performance and scalability
- Fuzzy and approximate search
Research papers and industrial reports on the above issues (or on any issue related
to Web search and IR) are welcome. The review process will be based on the
quality of the submitted papers and their relevance to the area.
Papers should have up to 7 single sided pages with font size of 10 to 12,
including figures and references. Papers should be submitted by e-mail to
the organizers in PDF.
The first page of the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name,
affiliation, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, and fax number
for each author. Accepted papers will be part of the conference proceedings.
The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be
limited to 7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been
previously published or currently submitted for publication
elsewhere.
