OAIR 2013 - Open Research Areas in Information Retrieval

Welcome to OAIR 2013 (the 10th International Conference in the RIAO series), taking place in Lisbon, Portugal from May 22 to 24, 2013.
The World Wide Web is the largest source of openly accessible data, and the most common means to connect people and share resources.
However, exploiting these interconnected Webs to obtain information is still an unsolved problem. This conference calls for papers describing recent research in Information Retrieval concerning the integration between a Web of Data and a Web of People, to transform pure data into information, and information into usable knowledge.
The Open research Areas in Information Retrieval (OAIR) conference is a triennial conference, addressing research topics related to the design of robust and large-scale scientific and industrial solutions to information processing.
OAIR 2013 conference is an opportunity to show main research activities, to share knowledge among IR scientific community and to get updates on new scientific work developed by IR community.
This conference is connected to the main IR personalities (see Steering Committee list) and a considerable number of attendances are expected.
We look forward to seeing you in the Europe´s Westernmost and sunniest capital, LISBON!
