From Nils.Pharo at hioa.no Mon Sep 12 03:41:54 2016 From: Nils.Pharo at hioa.no (Nils Pharo) Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2016 07:41:54 +0000 Subject: [Siguse-l] Exteded deadline for short papers at CHIIR'17 Message-ID: The deadline for short papers at CHIIR 2017 has been extended to September 24 The ACM SIGIR Conference on Human Information Interaction & Retrieval (CHIIR) will be held in Oslo, Norway from March 7-11, 2017. CHIIR is the pre-eminent forum for the presentation and discussion of research related to the user-centered aspects of information interaction and information retrieval, including human involvement in search activities, information seeking and use in context, and the design of interactive systems. Many areas of interest for CHIIR have traditionally been covered under "Users and interactive IR" at the SIGIR Conference, and at the HCIR and IIiX conferences, which have merged to form the CHIIR conference. Conference Scope and Topics Users are central to the design, evaluation, and use of information retrieval systems. We invite submissions on user-centered approaches to information retrieval, access, and use, including studies of interactive systems, novel interaction paradigms, new evaluation methods, and a range of related areas. We are particularly interested in papers in the following areas: * Information seeking, search and retrieval, including task-based and exploratory search * Interaction techniques for information retrieval and discovery * Online information-seeking behavior, including log analysis of search and browsing * Modeling and simulation of information interaction * Search user interfaces, including those for specialized tasks, populations and domains * Information use, including measures of use and sensemaking * Field and case studies relevant to information retrieval and access * User-centered evaluation methods and measures, including measures of user experience and performance, experiment and search task design, eye-tracking and physiological approaches, data analysis methods, and usability * Context-aware and personalized search, contextual features and analysis for information interaction * Collaborative information seeking and social search, including social utility and network analysis for information interaction * Information visualization and visual analytics, search result presentation * User-centered work in other areas of information retrieval Contribution Types still open for submission Short Papers: Short papers (4 pages) should also be original, high-quality submissions, like full papers, but based upon a smaller, concise contribution. These may present work in progress, late-breaking results, reports on projects or applications, or demos. Accepted short papers will be published as part of the proceedings, but will also be presented as posters during the poster reception at the conference. Workshops: We encourage prospective workshop organizers to submit proposals for highly interactive workshops (either full-day or half-day) that fall within the scope of the conference. We are particularly interested in workshops that bridge multiple approaches or present new perspectives on user-centred aspects of information interaction and information retrieval. Workshops will be held on the last day of the conference. Application instructions are available on the conference web page at http://sigir.org/chiir2017/ Tutorials: Proposals will be considered for full day or half day tutorials. Tutorials may cover material either at an introductory level (introducing new areas of research or practice to attendees) or in depth (advancing the understanding of attendees with basic familiarity of the area). Application instructions will be available on the conference web page at http://sigir.org/chiir2017/ Doctoral Consortium: We invite doctoral students to submit applications for a supervisory seminar, to present and discuss their research with senior researchers and other doctoral students. The consortium will take place on the first day of the conference. Application instructions are available on the conference web page at http://sigir.org/chiir2017/ Conditions * CHIIR submissions should be original, high quality research that has not been published previously and are not under review for another conference or journal. * An international program committee will review all submissions. * All reviews will be double-blind so submissions should be made anonymous when submitted. * Full papers and Perspectives papers will be up to 10 pages in length, while short papers will be up to 4 pages. * All submissions should be formatted using the ACM Conference style (for LaTeX or Word). Submissions should be made in PDF. * All accepted submissions will be made available in the ACM Digital Library as part of the CHIIR series.

Call for Papers Search systems today are mostly viewed as tools to satisfy immediate information needs instead of complex information environments in which humans learn while interacting with information content. Research on the design, development and evaluation of search systems that foster learning and enhance the learning experience is scarce. Equally scarce is our current understanding of search as a human learning process. Opportunities exist today to not only observe and interpret users? behavior through the lens of search logs but also to enrich this information with detailed multimodal data streams gathered by tracking devices and sensors. In this special issue, we aim to provide a forum for researchers who explore the role of search in the learning process to examine challenging research questions, showcase the state-of-the-art and share breakthroughs. 2. Topics of Interest * Log/lab-based studies on when and how learning occurs in the search process; * The relationship between the learning process and searchers' work task contexts; * Search system features that foster learning (both searching to learn and learning to search); * Search interface designs in support of learning; * The implications of search for learning for different populations (children, low-literacy searchers, etc.); * The roles of affect and engagement on learning whilst searching; * Methods and measures to assess searchers' learning; * Measuring learning outcomes to assess IR system performance; * Learning analytics for search contexts; * Collaborative aspects of search as learning; * Interaction monitoring, modeling and optimization for learning outcomes. 3. Submission guidelines Papers submitted to this special issue for possible publication must be original and must not be under consideration for publication in any other journal or conference. Previously published or accepted conference papers must contain at least 30% new material to be considered for the special issue. All papers are to be submitted by referring to http://www.springer.com/10791(submit online). At the beginning of the submission processing Editorial Manager, under ?Article Type?, please select the appropriate special issue. All manuscripts must be prepared according to the journal publication guidelines which can also be found on the website provided above. Papers will be evaluated following the journal's standard review process. For inquiries on the above please contact Claudia Hauff, c.hauff at tudelft.nl. 4. Important dates * Initial submission due: October 15, 2016 * Initial reviewer feedback: November 21, 2016 * Revised submission due: December 21, 2016 * Final decision: February 15, 2017 ------- Jacek Gwizdka, PhD http://gwizdka.com/research 'Pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate' - William of Ockham (1285-1349) Research Talk on NeuroIR Assistant Professor at School of Information, University of Texas at Austin 1616 Guadalupe St, Austin, TX 78701, USA | Office 5.442 (5th floor) Information eXperience (IX) lab Co-Director | ACM Senior Member Distinguished Fellow of the Kosciuszko Foundation Collegium of Eminent Scientists -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
