Collaborative search is also known as a social process in which users leverage from other users? interactions and social signals (e.g., bookmarks and annotations). While a follow on from our previous workshop, this workshop has two distinguishing and novel elements: (i) a specific focus on social IR and collaborative IR evaluation, bridging the gap within this space, and (ii) we provide datasets, tools and new tasks for participants and others to undertake evaluations and explore this space (download from http://www.irit.fr/ECol2017/resources.php ). SCOPE AND TOPICS (non exhaustive list) * Evaluation - Studies on collective relevance judging. - Studies of collaborative behavior applicable to evaluation. - Simulation vs. log-studies vs. user-studies for collaborative search. - Evaluation of single vs. collaborative search session. - Novel or extended traditional evaluation measures, test collections, methodologies of operational evaluation. - Evaluation Concerns and Issues: Reliability, Repeatability, Reproducibility, Replicability. * Tasks - Exploratory search (knowledge acquisition, multi-faceted search) - Recommending social collaborators (experts, answerers, sympathizers) - Collaborative ranking on social platforms - Collaborative intent understanding * Application - Medical CIS/CIR - Legal CIS/CIR - E-science and digital libraries ========================================================= PAPER SUBMISSION AND GUIDELINES - Research papers: both theoretical and practical research papers are welcome from both research and industrial communities addressing the main conference topic (evaluation framework), but will also consider related aspects including models, methods, techniques and, examples of CIS/CIR in theory and in practice. Authors have the opportunity to: - Use their own datasets/tools to propose an evaluation framework for the identified tasks. - Use the provided datasets/tools to propose an eval- uation framework for a task they have identified. - Propose an evaluation framework without support of datasets/tools for a task we/they have identified. - Designing possible tasks (with/without proposing models and evaluation frameworks) on provided or their own datasets - Collection papers: We are also seeking papers describing test collections usable for the experimental evaluation of contributions related to CIS/CIR. The collection should be publicly available and different from previously available collections and data sets and allowing to investigate a variety of research questions that could rise from CIS/CIR challenges. The submissions will be peer reviewed (double blind) and should be no longer than 4 pages in the ACM format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates ). The papers should be submitted online through the EasyChair workshop submission system at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecol2017 . All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the workshop program committee. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop to present the paper. All accepted papers will be required to be published on ArXiv, and might be submitted elsewhere. The ECol 2017 website will however refer to the published ArXiv papers. ========================================================= IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: January 27 2017 Notification of Acceptance: February 20, 2017 Camera-Ready papers due: March 1, 2017 Workshop: March 11, 2017 ========================================================= ORGANIZERS Leif Azzopardi, School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow - UK (Leif.Azzopardi at glasgow.ac.uk ) Jeremy Pickens, Catalyst Repository Systems - USA (jpickens at catalystsecure.com ) Chirag Shah, Rutgers University - USA (chirags at rutgers.edu ) Laure Soulier, LIP6 - Pierre and Marie Curie University, France?

The data is from a set of lab experiments conducted by Chirag Shah and Roberto Gonzalez-Ibanez at Rutgers University in 2010-2011. It contains interaction logs (queries, page visits, relevance judgments, and snippets collected) by a total of 160 participants in 80 teams, with each team working on an exploratory search task for about 30 minutes in a controlled lab setting. The data was collected using Coagmento (http://coagmento.org/ ). The dataset can be downloaded from http://infoseeking.org/data.php#cis2010 Following is a small selection of papers that use this data that one can cite. Shah, C., and Gonzalez-Ibanez, R. (2011). Evaluating the synergic effect of collaboration in information seeking. Proceedings of ACM SIGIR, pp. 913-922. Beijing, China. Shah, C., Gonzalez-Ibanez, R. (2012).

The Faculty also has research education rights in the area of library and information science. The Swedish School of Library and Information Science (SSLIS) is the biggest research and educational environment within library and information science in Sweden. It conducts education on all levels: undergraduate, Master??s, and doctoral. Bachelor???s programmes are given in Librarianship, Web content management and design as well as Master???s programmes. Research is conducted together with external research and professional organisations both nationally and internationally. Researchers are organised into groups, such as Information Practices, Digital Resources and Services, Library, Culture and Society, Social Media Studies and a Strategic Research Programme in Data Science. The SSLIS has approximately 700 students and 15-20 doctoral students, around 70 employees, including 12 professors and associate professors. SSLIS researchers have been involved in large EU projects related to digital preservation, digital humanities, and knowledge organization for over a decade (EURIDICE; SHAMAN; PERICLES; DIXIT). They have built rich research resources, such as infrastructure and databases, and have developed collaborations with major Swedish, Nordic, and European universities; they also have contacts in the USA, Canada, Australia, and Africa. SSLIS has a dynamic and international work environment. *Work description* Knowledge organisation is a multifaceted area of research, that becomes more complex and rich as information infrastructure develops further and requires the creation of professional information services for the seamless connection of information resources. Researchers in the group Digital Resources and Services (http://www.hb.se/Research/Areas/Library-and-information-science/Research-areas/Digital-resources-and-services-culture-and-information/) deal with a variety of knowledge organization issues and are eager to take this work further into areas supporting the future development of digital resources, linked data, and the semantic web. The doctoral position is part of a project requiring a broad multidisciplinary approach to research within knowledge organization. Doctoral candidates in this area will focus on the application of the following areas: information retrieval, metadata and resource description, controlled vocabularies and ontologies, linked data, and the semantic web. A minimum of 80% of employment time within the doctoral position is devoted to research courses and dissertation work. The remaining time is used for teaching and administrative activities. The doctoral student will be employed according to the Higher Education Ordinance, Chapter 5. The study time is equivalent to four years of full-time studies. The first employment period is usually one year and is renewed by one year at a time. If the position includes teaching and administrative work for the Faculty, the doctoral studies are extended to five years. *Type of employment: *fixed-term (maximum of five years, annual renewal)* Level of employment: full time - *A minimum of 80% of employment time within the doctoral position is devoted to research courses and dissertation work.
