Second International Symposium on Information Interaction in Context
IIiX 2008 - October 14-17, 2008, The BCS London Office, London, UK.

***Early registration deadline closes 31 August 2008***

The availability of information across media and genres, across
languages, and across modalities constantly increases. How people 
access this information is highly dependent on the context of their 
interaction and this context is influenced by a range of factors 
such as the time, place, and history of interaction, the tasks 
motivating the interaction and the technical possibilities of 
the information systems. IIiX 2008 will explore the relationships 
between the contexts that affect Information Retrieval and 
Seeking, how these contexts impact on information behaviour, 
and how knowledge of information contexts can help design truly 
interactive information systems.
