6th IRF Conference : October 7-9 2013, Limassol, Cyprus

Organised by the Cyprus University of Technology and the MUMIA Cost Action



Conference: http://cyprusconferences.org/irfc2013/



T H E   I R F   C O N F E R E N C E



The 6th Information Retrieval Facility Conference 2013 provides once 
again a multidisciplinary scientific forum for researchers in 
Information Retrieval and related areas. The conference aims at bringing 
young researchers into contact with the industry at an early stage, 
emphasizing the applicability of IR solutions to real industry cases and 
the respective challenges.



The 6th IRF Conference addresses 3 complementary research areas:

    * Information Retrieval

    * Machine Translation for search solutions

    * Interactive Information Access



The 6th IRF Conference targets researchers who are interested in:

    * Learning about complementary technologies for the development of 
next generation search solutions

    * Applying their results to real business needs

    * Joining the international research network of the MUMIA Cost Action

    * Discussing results obtained by using the IRF or other public data 
resources



All papers will undergo a review process with each paper being reviewed 
by at least three members of the programme committee.

The proceedings of all previous IRF Conferences have been published by 
Springer in the LNCS series, and we have contacted Springer regarding 2013.

All paper submissions must be written in English following the LNCS 
author guidelines. We welcome two different types of submissions 
(Science, Industry).



- Science Papers

For researchers and students in the fields of Information Retrieval, 
Machine Translation for Search Solutions and Interactive Information Access.

Papers submitted must refer to novel, unpublished research. Full papers 
must not exceed 12 pages including references and figures.



- Industry Papers

For developers and implementers of novel technology in the fields of 
Information Retrieval, Machine Translation for Search Solutions

and Interactive Information Access. For business and industry 
representatives using IR technologies to search and analyse large 
quantities

of information. Papers of this type should not exceed 4 pages including 
references and figures.



- Competitive Demonstrations

Research groups and industry members are invited to demonstrate their 
information access tools. In previous years, the PatOlympics have proven 
an exciting interaction driver between users and creators of patent 
search systems. This year, the competitive demo opens to general purpose 
IR tools and interested participants are invited to submit a 2 page 
description of their system. Details to follow.
