The 9th International Workshop on

Large-Scale and Distributed Systems for Information Retrieval

Co-located with ACM CIKM'11 (October 28, 2011)

Glasgow, United Kingdom

Aims & Topics of Interest:

The growth of the Web and user bases lead to important performance problems for large-scale distributed information retrieval (IR) systems. Scalability and efficiency of these systems also have an impact on their effectiveness. As the premium venue on the topic, the LSDS-IR'11 workshop expects high-quality research contributions that [...]

About
========
Social Web sites, such as Facebook, YouTube, Delicious, Flickr and
Wikipedia, and numerous other Web applications, such as Google and
Amazon, rely on implicitly or explicitly collected data about their
users and their activities to provide personalized content and services.
As these applications become more and more connected on the Semantic
Web, a major challenge is to allow various applications to exchange,
reuse, and integrate user data from different sources. Such

are to identify and operationalize relevant qualities of such experiences,
and to model and monitor their trajectories. [...]

Symposium on Usability, Information Design, and Information Interaction
to Communicate Complex Information

February 24-25, 2012

East Carolina University
Greenville NC

http://workshop.design4complexity.com/

The future will see the design of information and communication
technologies that serve ever more complex purposes and problems. For
these technologies, creating user centered design is particularly
challenging when users are engaged in sophisticated knowledge work and
collaborations and do not want to become power users to conduct this
work electronically. Goals of this workshop are to clarify what we
already know about communicating complex information and clarify our
understanding of what issues urgently need further research. [...]

The distribution of mobile applications has been greatly simplified by
mobile app stores and markets. Both lone developers and large research and
development teams can now relatively easily reach wide audiences. In
addition, existing ubiquitous services are providing researchers with data
sets or access to content via APIs, greatly expanding the ability to study
the use of these [...]

Special Issue of ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing (TACCESS) on

Accessible Healthcare Technologies

Issues related to providing healthcare are emerging as a worldwide priority. As healthcare needs soar, providers are increasingly looking to technology to provide help for managing care. This technology is critical, for example, in systems for diagnosing and treating illness, systems for data management, eHealth, telehealthcare, and in patient management of their own health. These issues are challenging, particularly as they relate to ensuring equal access to services and information by disabled users and older adults. [...]
