IEEE Intelligent Systems Call for Papers: Mobile Information Retrieval

Mobile information retrieval (mobile IR) is concerned with the indexing and retrieval of information such as text, graphics, animation, sound, speech, image, and video, and their possible combinations for use in mobile devices with wireless network connectivity.

The proliferation of wireless and mobile devices such as personal digital assistants and mobile phones has created a large demand for mobile information content as well as effective mobile IR techniques. New technologies are needed for representing, modeling, indexing, and retrieving mobile data.

This special issue will focus on contributions that expand the state of the art of building intelligent systems for mobile IR. To be considered for this special issue, submissions related to information retrieval on the mobile Web and mobile Internet must address issues specific to mobile IR. We thus solicit original papers on research that

· effectively indexes and retrieves mobile information,

· can be integrated into unified mobile browsing and retrieval systems, and

· gives new insight into scalable algorithms allowing access to very large mobile databases.

We are especially interested in papers that address

· automatic summarization and personalization in mobile information;

· content adaptation for small display devices;

· content-based extraction, indexing, annotation, and retrieval of mobile data;

· context-aware information processing;

· data mining of query logs, clicks, and Web traffic on mobile devices;

· efficient retrieval models and query processing of mobile information from distributed databases;

· extraction of useful semantics in mobile information for indexing and retrieval;

· knowledge discovery through content and keyword fusion in mobile summarization, indexing, and retrieval;

· location-based search for mobile devices;

· mobile learning and user profiling for mobile information retrieval;

· mobile peer tagging and knowledge propagation;

· mobile retrieval across multiple media types, network conditions, and user preferences;

· multimodal user interface technologies;

· scalable browsing algorithms for large mobile databases; and

· spatial data management, mining spatial data generated by mobile users.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions due for review: 13 July 2009

Submissions should be 3,500 to 7,500 words (counting a standard figure or table as 200 words) and should follow the magazine’s style and presentation guidelines (see www.computer.org/portal/pages/intelligent/mc/author.html ). References should be limited to 10 citations. To submit a manuscript, access the IEEE Computer Society Web-based system, Manuscript Central, at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cs-ieee .

There will be two independent tracks for Research and Industrial papers with a different set of evaluation criteria. The authors must clearly indicate the track to which the paper is being submitted.


Research Papers: The conference is soliciting original research papers on all aspects of Web information systems engineering. Submitted papers will be judged according to their scientific merits and evaluated on significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition.

Industrial and Application Papers: WISE 2009 encourages submissions covering the application of Web information systems engineering in practice, including papers describing innovative implementations, novel applications, and major improvements to the state-of-practice. The papers submitted to this track can range from a few page extended abstract to a full paper. The track will also include a small number of invited visionary papers.

Publication

The proceedings of WISE 2009 will be published in two separate volumes by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, one volume for all papers accepted by the main conference, and one volume for all papers accepted by all WISE workshops. A special issue of the World Wide Web Journal is scheduled in 2010 for publishing extended versions of selected WISE 2009 papers.

RecSys'09: Third ACM Conference on Recommender Systems Call for Paper

CALL FOR PAPERS

We are pleased to invite you once again to participate in the premier annual event on research and applications of recommendation technologies, the Third ACM Conference on Recommender Systems. The previous conferences in Minneapolis and Lausanne have been distinguished by a strong level of interaction between practitioners and researchers in the sharing of ideas, problems and solutions, and the 2009 conference will continue in this tradition. The fully-refereed proceedings will be published by the ACM and, like past RecSys proceedings, are expected to be widely read and cited.

TECHNICAL PROGRAM

The technical program will celebrate the diversity of research in and applications of recommender systems with refereed and invited presentations, keynote talks and posters.

Tutorials

The first day of the conference will be devoted to tutorials in which top practitioners and researchers share their expertise and latest results. The tutorials at the 2008 conference were highly-attended. Look for the Call for Tutorials announcement on the website, or send email to tutorial2009@recsys.acm.org if you are interested in presenting a tutorial.

Workshops

To reflect the diversity of research in recommender systems and to give additional venues for the presentation of research, the conference will feature workshops for the first time. Look for the Call for Workshops announcement on the website, or send email to workshop2009@recsys.acm.org if you are interested in organizing a workshop.

Doctoral Symposium

The Doctoral Symposium provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished research faculty. Look for the Call for Participation announcement on the website, or send email to doctoral2009@recsys.acm.org if you are interested in participating.

Additional information on all aspects of the program can be found here.
