SIGIR 2004 Workshop
New Directions For IR Evaluation: Online Conversations
Sheffield, UK, July 29 2004

Papers

The workshop proceedings are now online

This one-day workshop will be structured around paper presentations, panel discussions, audience interaction, and informal discussions.

Papers. Those interested in making a presentation should submit full papers for review electronically in PDF format to the address given below. Papers should not exceed 8 pages in the standard SIGIR format, including figures, tables, and references.

Statements. Those interested in participating as panelists or discussion leaders should submit a brief (1-2 page) statement describing their background, research interests, and (if appropriate) proposed discussion points.

Open participation. The workshop is open to all interested participants; advance submission of a paper or statement is encouraged, but not required.

Both types of advance submissions are due on Friday, June 4 to both leuski@ict.usc.edu and oard@umd.edu. Paper selections will be announced by Friday, June 18. A limited number of papers will be selected for oral presentation in order to preserve time for discussion; additional papers may be selected for presentation during a poster session. The final camera-ready version of selected papers will be due on July 2. Accepted papers and all statements of interest will be published in the workshop proceedings, which will made available on the workshop's Web site and distributed to participants in hardcopy at the workshop.
