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

First 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.
For submitting, please go to the conference site: http://iiix2012.org/
Paper review will be double-blind so submissions should be anonymous.
Please omit author names and affiliations from the initial submission.

Papers: April 2, 2012
