[Submissions to Doctoral Consortium are due **** April 30 , 2010 *****]


[Conference August 18-22, 2010]



The Information Interaction in Context conference (IIiX) explores the
relationships between and within the contexts that affect information
retrieval and information seeking, how these contexts impact information
behavior, and how knowledge of information contexts and behaviors
improves the design of interactive information systems. 
The intention of IIiX is to foster an integrated approach to
information access by bringing together members of the research
communities in information seeking behavior (Behavior Track),
interactive information retrieval (Interaction Track), and information
retrieval system design (System Track). A list of topics of interest can
be found at the conference website.
A Doctoral Consortium held in conjunction with the main conference
provides an opportunity for doctoral students to present and discuss
their research with senior researchers and other doctoral students in a
seminar format. The Doctoral Consortium focuses on 1) advising students
regarding currentcritical issues in their research, and 2) making
students aware of the strengths and weaknesses of their research as
viewed from different perspectives. 
Submissions should include a short thesis description of 1,200-1,500
words and a statement of support from the applicant’s thesis advisor.
Additional details (including information about how to submit) can be

April 30, 2010.
