IIiX 2012: Fourth Information Interaction in Context Symposium
http://iiix2012.org
Nijmegen, the Netherlands, August 21-24, 2012

Second Call for Papers

The Information Interaction in Context conference (IIiX) explores the  
relationships between and within the contexts that affect information  
retrieval (IR) and information seeking, how these contexts impact  
information behavior, and how knowledge of information contexts and  
behaviors improves the design of interactive information systems.
The intention of IIiX is to foster an integrated approach to  
information access by bringing together members of the research  
communities in information seeking behavior (Behavior Track), user  
interface design for IR systems (Interface Track),  interactive IR  
(Interaction Track), and IR system design (System Track).

TOPICS
- Interactive IR issues
- Design of IR user interfaces
- Qualitative approaches to the study of context-sensitive information  
seeking and IR
- Context-aware retrieval models
- Relevance feedback (implicit & explicit) and query modification  
issues for capturing context
- Novel approaches to eliciting, identifying, capturing and  
representing contextual information
- Task-based interactive IR and information seeking behavior
- Issues of genre, media, language, modality and structure in  
contextual information seeking and IR
- Personalized and collaborative information access in context
- Contextual information interaction theory
- Nature of relevance in context
- Measures and methods for studying and evaluating information seeking  
and IR in context
- Test collections for interactive or context-sensitive IR

Submissions are sought that integrate two or more of these  
perspectives represented by tracks.  While it is understood that one  
area might be the dominant theme of the submission, the expectation is  
that authors will provide an explicit discussion of how their  
submission informs at least one other area.  For example, a submission  
that primarily discusses system aspects should provide mention of how  
the system impacts interaction or behavior.  A paper that primarily  
discusses information behavior should discuss implications for  
interaction or system design.  Papers that investigate multiple themes  
directly are especially welcome.


SUBMISSION TYPES: PAPERS and POSTERS
- Papers - IIiX encourages the submission of original, high quality  
research papers that have not been published previously and are not  
under review for another conference or journal. All submissions will  
be reviewed by an international program committee. Full papers,  
describing completed research results, should be no more than 10 pages  
in length. Accepted papers will be made available in the ACM Digital  
Library.
- Posters - Provocative and interesting poster submissions, describing  
work in progress or late-breaking results are also sought. The aim of  
the poster session is to encourage debate, discussion, and future  
collaboration. As well as being reviewed according to typical measures  
of originality and technical merit, submissions will also be reviewed  
for their suitability for an exciting and engaging poster session.  
Poster papers should be no more than 4 pages in length.  In addition,  
authors of accepted posters are expected to include a 1 page image of  
their posters (in PDF) as part of their FINAL submissions.  It will be  
included alongside the paper in the ACM Digital Library.  This image  
SHOULD NOT be included as part of the initial submission.

FORMAT
Full papers and poster papers should be formatted using the ACM  
Conference style (for LaTeX or Word).  Submissions should be made in  
PDF.  Submit papers and posters to  
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=iiix2012
Paper review will be double-blind so submissions should be anonymous.  
Please omit author names and affiliations from the initial submission.
