ECIR reviewing guidelines

At a recent committee meeting (Dec 2010), we considered the reviewing process for papers, posters, workshops and tutorials. The reviewing process is set out in the call for Bids. The committee confirmed that these requirements ensure that a proper scientific review process is maintained - as demonstrated by the success of ECIR. Groups or individuals interested in bidding for ECIR in future should contact the chair of the BCS Information Retrieval Specialist Group (IRSG) for more information or advice.

The first ever conference in Europe to focus specifically on the technologies and implementation of enterprise search.

This inaugural event will play host to speakers not just from Europe but also from North America and Australia –providing an international perspective on the benefits and challenges of enterprise search implementation.

Join us in London this October for plenary sessions and parallel tracks on Tools and Techniques and Making Search Work plus networking, social events and the chance to meet some of key enterprise search solutions providers.

For anyone struggling with the challenges of implementing enterprise search, Enterprise Search Europe is a unique opportunity to share experiences, learn about emerging technologies, and find solutions.

ECIR 2011 CFP

We are seeking the submission of high-quality and original full-length research papers, short-papers, posters and demos, which will be reviewed by experts on the basis of the originality of the work, the validity of the results, chosen methodology, writing quality and the overall contribution to the field of Information Retrieval. Papers that demonstrate a high level of research adventure or which break out of the traditional IR paradigms are particularly welcome.
