DIR2016

Call for Papers

DIR 2016 aims to serve as an international platform (with a special focus on the Netherlands and Belgium) for exchange and discussions on research & applications in the field of information retrieval as well as related fields. We invite quality research contributions addressing relevant challenges. Contributions may range from theoretical work to descriptions of applied research and real-world systems. We especially encourage doctoral students to present their research.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Document Representation and Content Analysis
Queries and Query Analysis
Retrieval Models and Ranking
Search Engine Architectures and Scalability
Users and Interactive IR
Filtering and Recommending
Evaluation
Web IR and Social Media Search
IR and Structured Data
Multimedia IR
Search applied to the Internet of Things
IR for social good
Other Applications (digital libraries, enterprise search, genomics IR, legal IR, patent search, text reuse, new retrieval problems)

We accept two types of submissions:

Novel contributions: research papers describing original research that has not yet been presented to a wider audience. Submission of this type must use the ACM proceedings template. The maximum page length is four pages including figures and references.
Research dissemination: proposals to present research, which has already been published in high-impact venues. The proposal should contain a summary of the research conducted, a clear reference to the original publication and a short motivation of why this work is interesting to the DIR community. The proposal is limited to one page in ACM proceedings format.

We accept submissions for DIR through Easychair. Accepted submissions will be presented at the conference orally or as posters; the presentation mode will be determined based on the reviewers’ suggestions. The authors keep the copyright of their submissions. A submission implies willingness of at least one author to register for DIR 2016 and present the work.
