1st European Workshop on Human-Computer Interaction and Information
Retrieval

July 4 at the BCS HCI2011 Conference, Newcastle, UK

KEY POINTS

   - We want to stimulate the European HCIR community with a series of
   workshops similar to successful HCIR events in the states.
   - Submission Deadline: 1st May 2011
   - Details are online: http://fitlab.eu/euroHCIR2011/

CALL FOR PAPERS (anonymous 2-4 page position papers):
In common with the wider HCIR community, this workshop will be focused on
submissions based on, but not limited to, the following topics:

   - Case studies demonstrating novel interaction with information (e.g.,
   faceted navigation)
   - Exploratory search and information discovery (e.g., auto-complete,
   suggested terms)
   - Information visualization
   - Design and evaluation of search and browse interfaces (e.g., usability
   studies of search)
   - Ethnography and user studies relevant to search and navigation
   - Personalization techniques in search

Industry - The enterprise and web search experiences from professionals,
such as IAs and UX designers, are a key part of understanding excellence in
HCIR design. We are inviting case studies and position papers that go beyond
a simple narrative to describe lessons learned for the community.
**Industry submissions will be evaluated more in terms of their
contributions to lessons learned than through pure academic merit.**

Academia - From the research community, we are interested in late breaking
results, or challenging, controversial, or insightful position papers that
might shape the way the HCIR community thinks ahead.
** Academic contributions will be evaluated in terms of their contribution
to the thinking and discussion for the workshop and the community.**

SUBMISSION
Participants must submit anonymised 2-4 page ACM format PDFs to the
EasyChair page, optionally indicating whether the submission is from
industry or academia. More details will appear on
