[NORSLIS] euroHCIR2011 @ HCI2011 - Call for Participation

[Birger Larsen]

1st European Workshop on Human-Computer Interaction and Information Retrieval

            July 4 at the BCS HCI2011 Conference, Newcastle, UK

KEY POINTS
- We want to stimulate the European HCIR community with a series of workshops similar to successful HCIR events in the states.
- Submission Deadline: 1st May 2011
- Details are online: http://fitlab.eu/euroHCIR2011/
- More about HCIR on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human%E2%80%93computer_information_retrieval

CALL FOR PAPERS (anonymous 2-4 page position papers):
In common with the wider HCIR community, this workshop will be focused on submissions based on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Case studies demonstrating novel interaction with information (e.g., faceted navigation)
- Exploratory search and information discovery (e.g., auto-complete, suggested terms)
- Information visualization
 - Design and evaluation of search and browse interfaces (e.g., usability studies of search)
- Ethnography and user studies relevant to search and navigation
- Personalization techniques in search

Industry - The enterprise and web search experiences from professionals, such as IAs and UX designers, are a key part of understanding excellence in HCIR design. We are inviting case studies and position papers that go beyond a simple narrative to describe lessons learned for the community.
**Industry submissions will be evaluated more in terms of their contributions to lessons learned than through pure academic merit.**

Academia - From the research community, we are interested in late breaking results, or challenging, controversial, or insightful position papers that might shape the way the HCIR community thinks ahead.
** Academic contributions will be evaluated in terms of their contribution to the thinking and discussion for the workshop and the community.**
SUBMISSION

Participants must submit anonymised 2-4 page ACM format PDFs to the EasyChair page, optionally indicating whether the submission is from industry or academia. More details will appear on http://fitlab.eu/euroHCIR2011/submission.php
