> Submission deadline for all contributions May 1, 2006
>
> Information is increasingly available across media and genres,  
> across languages, and across modalities. How people access this  
> information is highly dependent on the context of their interaction  
> and this context is influenced by a range of factors such as the  
> time, place, and history of interaction, the tasks motivating the  
> interaction and the technical possibilities of the information  
> systems. Although the use of information systems are heavily  
> affected by contextual factors, Information Retrieval and Seeking  
> research is largely conducted out of context.
>
> IIiX will explore the relationships between the contexts that affect  
> Information Retrieval and Seeking, how these contexts impact on
> information behaviour, and how knowledge of information contexts can  
> help design truly interactive information systems.
>
> IIiX invites research contributions that approach information  
> contexts from a broad range of perspectives, such as context  
> surrounding
> documents, context influencing seeking humans and their tasks, the  
> context of information seekers and providers, the context of  
> interactive search, and the technical contexts of information systems.
>
> IIiX encourages the submission of original, high quality research  
> papers in any of the symposium topics of interest. All submissions  
> will be reviewed by an international programme committee and all  
> accepted research papers will be published in the symposium  
> proceedings by a major publisher. Submissions may either be full  
> research papers (max 5000 words) or research in progress papers (max  
> 2000 words). Full details on submissions are available on the  
> symposium web page (http://www.db.dk/IIiX/)
>
> IIiX also host a dedicated Doctoral Forum on the day preceding the  
> conference (details on IIiX webpage)
>
> Topics of interest include but are not restricted to the following:
> * CASE STUDIES, FIELD EXPERIMENTS, SIMULATIONS, ETC. OF  
> CONTEXT-SENSITIVE INFORMATION SEEKING & RETRIEVAL:
