Call for Papers Compiegne, France
OSWIR 2005 First International Workshop on September 19, 2005
===
Open Source Web Information Retrieval
http://www.emse.fr/OSWIR05/

In conjunction with WI & IAT 2005 (http://www.hds.utc.fr/WI05/)
the 2005 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence &
Intelligent Agent Technology
===

The World Wide Web has grown to be a primary source of information for
millions of people. Due to the size of the Web, search engines have
become the major access point for this information. However,
"commercial" search engines use
hidden algorithms that put the integrity of their results in doubt, so
there is a need for some open source Web search engines.

On the other hand, the Information Retrieval (IR) research community
has a long history of developing ideas, models and techniques for
finding results in data sources, but finding one's way through all of
them is not an easy task. Moreover their applicability to the Web
search domain is uncertain.

The goal of the workshop is to survey the fundamentals of the IR
domain and to determine the techniques, tools, or models that are
applicable to Web search. Presentations should include either strong
arguments or report results supported by large-scale experiments that
demonstrate the applicability of the technique to the Web domain as
well as its advantage over similar techniques.

Relevant topics include, but are not restricted to:
. Information Retrieval Models and Matching Function Models
- vector space, probabilistic, Boolean models and their
extensions
- passage retrieval
- normalization
. Utilities for IR
- relevance feedback
- clustering
- indexing entities (N-grams, words, stemming, stop word
removal, compound nouns, named entities, concepts, etc.)
- statistical regression
- query expansion (e.g. with thesaurus)
- natural language processing (syntactical analysis, etc.)
- disambiguation
. Web (and hypertext) particulars
- links
- anchors
- HTML and/or XML structure
- document identification (URL)
- duplicates
- hidden documents
- dynamic documents
- site
. Evaluation of models
. User Interface
- Query language
- Results presentation

How to participate
==================

Every interested person is invited to apply for attendance by sending
either
. a position paper concerning the recommended choice for a method
(tool, technique, model)
. a survey on a topic listed upward
. a report on an experiment related to some Web characteristic
(size, heterogeneity, multi-linguism, hyperlinks, etc.) and its
relation to IR

The submission should be in IEEE CS format and its length is limited
to 4 pages. Instructions and style files for Word and Latex are
available on http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/WI05/download/
The submission has to be mailed to both organizers:
mbeig@... AND yee@...

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the
workshop.

=====================
Workshop Organization
=====================

The workshop is scheduled for a full day.

Before the workshop, each participant will have to review everyone
else's paper and highlight one main idea and write down one question
about it.

In the morning, each participant will briefly present his paper and
then answer the questions collected before the workshop. The
afternoon will be dedicated to a discussion about some of the topics
raised by the presented papers and to prepare a schedule for follow-up
activities, for instance, joint research.
