CALL FOR PAPERS
=======================

NINTEENTH AUSTRALASIAN DOCUMENT COMPUTING SYMPOSIUM (ADCS 2014)
http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/adcs2014/

IMPORTANT DATES
---------------
29 Sep 2014 - Submission deadline
13 Oct 2014 - Notification of acceptance / rejection
24 Oct 2014 - Final camera ready due
27/28 Nov 2014 - ADCS in Melbourne, Australia

LOCATION
--------
Melbourne, Australia

AIM OF THE SYMPOSIUM
--------------------
ADCS 2014 is an opportunity for researchers and practitioners in
document management and information retrieval to meet and present
their work. The symposium aims to cover all aspects of Document
Computing - issues ranging from the fundamentals of document
architectures and standards for markup, through storage, management,
retrieval, authentication and workflow, to active and virtual
documents. The symposium emphasises both commercial and academic
issues by encouraging a variety of submissions.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------
The symposium topics include (but are not restricted to) the
following:
- Cognitive Aspects of Documents
- Digital Libraries
- Document Databases
- Document Standards (XML, SGML, etc.)
- Document Summarisation
- Enterprise Search
- Evaluation
- Information Retrieval
- Multimedia Document Management
- Multimedia Resource Discovery
- Natural Language Techniques and Documents
- Personalised Documents
- Retrieval Models and Ranking
- Search Engine Architectures and Scalability
- User Studies Involving Documents
- Web Documents
- Web Search

SUBMISSIONS
-----------
All submissions must be original work, not previously published
elsewhere, and not currently submitted to any other conference or
journal. Electronic copies of accepted papers will be made available
through the ACM Digital Library as part of the ICPS
collection. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically, in PDF
format and formatted using the ACM camera-ready templates available
at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.

Full papers have a maximum of length of 8 pages including all
references, and short papers have a maximum length of 4 pages including
references. All submissions will be fully refereed using a single blind
refereeing process, at their full published length, and will comply with
DEST criteria for fully-refereed conference papers (category E1). Papers
will be submitted using Easy Chair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=adcs20140

Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should
the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the
symposium to present the work. Note also that it is insufficient for an
author to register and pay for the symposium to be regarded as
fulfilling this obligation.  Authors of accepted papers will have to
sign the ACM rights management form to comply with publication in the
ACM digital library. For more information see the ACM authors page.

FULL PAPERS
-----------
Full papers should describe new contributions or analyse research
issues. Submissions should be at most eight pages long (around 4000
words); over-length submissions risk immediate rejection. Refer to the
guidelines for papers for details of the required format.

POSTERS, SHORT PAPERS AND INDUSTRY STATUS REPORTS
-------------------------------------------------
To encourage participation by industry and to provide a place for work
of a more speculative nature, ADCS invites submissions for short
papers, up to a maximum of four pages (around 2000 words). A typical
proposal might describe a leading-edge solution to a practical problem
in document management. Short papers follow the same format as for
full papers.

STUDENT TRAVEL GRANTS
---------------------
Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, students will be able
to receive travel support to attend and present at ADCS 2014.

GSLIS welcomes two new Assistant Professors to the faculty this fall:
Chaoqun Ni and Amber Stubbs.

Chaoqun Ni has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in advanced
statistics, logistics and supply chain management, evaluation resource and
service, and quantitative analysis of information. Currently, Ni is
finishing her doctorate in information science in the Department of
Information and Library Science in the School of Informatics & Computing at
Indiana University. Her research interests lie at the intersection of
science policy, science and technology studies and scholarly communication
in the context of data-intensive science.
http://www.simmons.edu/gslis/faculty/fulltime/ni.php

Amber Stubbs teaches computer science and library and information science
courses about data structures and algorithms, programming and theory of
programming languages, and information retrieval. Stubbs received her
doctorate in computer science from Brandeis University. Her doctoral
dissertation involved creating an annotation methodology to extract
high-level information ? such a hospital patient's medical diagnosis ? from
narrative texts. She developed the Multi-Purpose Annotation Environment
<https://code.google.com/p/mae-annotation/> (MAE) and Multi-document
Adjudication Interface <https://code.google.com/p/mai-adjudication/> (MAI)
software, which is used at institutions around the world for natural
language processing research.
http://www.simmons.edu/gslis/faculty/fulltime/stubbs.php

GSLIS also congratulates two members of the faculty who have been granted
tenure, Associate Professors Lisa Hussey and Melanie Kimball.

        Information Seeking

CALL FOR CHAPTERS
For a Springer Book in the CSCW Series on Collaborative Information Seeking
(CIS)

Springer Book series on CSCW seeks submissions for a 2015 book on
Collaborative Information Seeking (CIS). We are looking for original
chapters on this topic - from scholars in academia and industry.

For many years, information retrieval has focused on individual users
searching for information. Algorithms have assumed that one person is
reviewing the results, and user interfaces have supported the needs of
individual searchers.

CIS - also referred to as collaborative information retrieval and
collaborative search - focuses on the notion that information seeking is
not always a solitary activity, and that people working in collaboration to
perform information-seeking tasks should be studied and supported. CIS
occurs in many contexts, including healthcare, business intelligence,
technical fields, strategic research, information analysis, planning tasks,
and everyday activities such as shopping and travel.

While the submission could be a synthesis of some of the prior works, it
should not be published before. Manuscripts may describe research,
experiences, and software tools/algorithms/architectures focused on support
for collaborative information seeking.

Specific topics include
        ? CIS theories and models;
        ? Design experiences of CIS systems;
        ? User Interfaces for CIS systems and tools;
        ? CIS applications and use cases in different domains, such as
e-learning environments, healthcare, office work, and intelligence analysis;
        ? Approaches for incorporating CIS with social search;
        ? Issues related to collaborators? awareness of actions, Team/group
aspects and participants? roles;
        ? Evaluation measures for CIS systems;
        ? Methodologies for studying CIS; and
        ? Software tools and algorithms to support collaborative search.

All chapter submissions are subject to double peer review based on both
technical merit and relevance to Springer CSCW book series readership.
Accepted chapters will be professionally edited for content and style.

Direct inquiries to the guest editors: Dr. Preben Hansen, Stockholm
University, Sweden, (preben at dsv.su.se) Dr. Chirag Shah, Rutgers University,
USA; (chirags at rutgers.edu) and Dr. Claus-Peter Klas, GESIS, Germany (
Claus-Peter.Klas at gesis.org)

Timeline:
        ? Chapter submission: October 15, 2014 (submission information at
http://collab.infoseeking.org/cisbook2015/)
        ? Decision: December 15, 2014
        ? Final chapter: January 15, 2015
