[Submissions to Doctoral Consortium are due **** April 30 , 2010 *****] 
[Conference August 18-22, 2010]


The Information Interaction in Context conference (IIiX) explores the
relationships between and within the contexts that affect information
retrieval and information seeking, how these contexts impact information
behavior, and how knowledge of information contexts and behaviors improves
the design of interactive information systems.

The intention of IIiX is to foster an integrated approach to information
access by bringing together members of the research communities in
information seeking behavior (Behavior Track), interactive information
retrieval (Interaction Track), and information retrieval system design
(System Track). A list of topics of interest can be found at the conference
website.

A Doctoral Consortium held in conjunction with the main conference provides
an opportunity for doctoral students to present and discuss their research
with senior researchers and other doctoral students in a seminar format. The
Doctoral Consortium focuses on 1) advising students regarding current
critical issues in their research, and 2) making students aware of the
strengths and weaknesses of their research as viewed from different
perspectives.

Submissions should include a short thesis description of 1,200-1,500 words
and a statement of support from the applicant's thesis advisor. Additional
details (including information about how to submit) can be found at:
http://www.iiix2010.org/doctoral-consortium. Submissions are due on April
30, 2010.
