          • Novel interaction techniques for information retrieval.
          • Modelling and evaluation of interactive information retrieval.
          • Exploratory search and information discovery.

          • Applications of HCI techniques to information retrieval needs in specific domains.
          • Ethnography and user studies relevant to information retrieval and access.
          • Scale and efficiency considerations for interactive information retrieval systems.
          • Relevance feedback and active learning approaches for information retrieval.

Submission Types
-------------------------
Industry Case Studies
- The enterprise and web search experiences from professionals 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 case studies will be evaluated more in terms of their contributions to lessons learned than through research merit.**

Research Papers
- From the research community, we are interested in research contributions, 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.**

Position Papers
- Sometimes insight comes from a range of sources - position papers that are thoughtful and well reasoned are invited, especially if they kick up some discussion.

Submitting:
------------------
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/euroHCIR2012/submission.php
