THE MUMIA and IRFC CONFERENCE
The 3rd Open Interdisciplinary MUMIA Conference and 7th Information Retrieval 
Facility and Conference 2014 provides once again a multidisciplinary 
scientific forum for researchers in Information Retrieval and related areas. 
The conference aims at bringing young researchers into contact with the 
industry at an early stage, emphasizing the applicability of IR solutions to 
real industry cases and the respective challenges.

The Conference addresses 3 complementary research areas:
* Information Retrieval
* Machine Translation for search solutions
* Interactive Information Access

The Conference targets researchers who are interested in:
* Learning about complementary technologies for the development of next 
  generation search solutions
* Applying their results to real business needs
* Learning about the outcome of the international research network of the 
  MUMIA Cost Action
* Discussing results obtained by using the IRF or other public data resources

All papers will undergo a review process with each paper being reviewed by at 
least three members of the programme committee. The proceedings will be 
published by Springer in the LNCS series.
All paper submissions must be written in English following the LNCS author 
guidelines and must be anonymized. We welcome three different types of 
submissions (Science, Industry, Tutorial).

SCIENCE PAPERS
For researchers and students in the fields of Information Retrieval, Machine 
Translation for Search Solutions and Interactive Information Access.
Papers submitted must refer to novel, unpublished research. Full papers must 
not exceed 12 pages including references and figures. The reporting of 
negative experimental results is welcomed and detailed descriptions of proper 
scientific methodologies used highly encouraged.

INDUSTRY PAPERS
For developers and implementers of novel technology in the fields of 
Information Retrieval, Machine Translation for Search Solutions and 
Interactive Information Access. For business and industry representatives 
using IR technologies to search and analyse large quantities of information.
Papers of this type should not exceed 4 pages including references and figures.

TUTORIALS
The goal of the IRFC2014 tutorials is to offer conference attendees a 
stimulating and informative selection of tutorials reflecting current topics 
in information retrieval and related areas. Proposals are invited for 
tutorials of half-day (3 hours plus breaks). Each tutorial should cover a 
single topic in detail on state-of-the-art methods in core information 
retrieval, related research or novel and emerging applications.
