MUBE 2013 - SIGIR 2013 Workshop on Modeling User Behavior for Information Retrieval Evaluation

There is growing interest in ways to incorporate models of human behavior into Cranfield-style evaluation of information retrieval systems. While there are many approaches to this problem, two prominent approaches have been either to start from a user interface and then simulate user interaction with this interface, or to take traditionally styled evaluation measures and make them more realistic in terms of known human behavior.
The SIGIR 2013 Workshop on Modeling User Behavior for Information Retrieval Evaluation (MUBE 2013) aims to bring together people to discuss existing and new approaches, ways to collaborate, and other ideas and issues involved in improving information retrieval evaluation through the modeling of user behavior.
Areas of interest for the workshop include but are not limited to:
Studies of user behavior applicable to evaluation
Models of users
Data collection
Test collection support for evaluation using user models
Calibration and validation of effectiveness measures derived from user models
Connections to related research in automated usability
Information foraging theory
Economic models applied to IR evaluation
Simulation of interaction
Evaluation of sessions
Models of query reformulation
Studies of relevance judging
Click models
We are soliciting submission of 2 page poster papers to encourage sharing of ideas and encourage discussion. We would like to see a wide range of paper styles: reports of original research, preliminary research results, proposals for new work, and position papers. All papers will be peer reviewed by the program committee and judged by their relevance to the workshop and their likelihood to generate discussion. Accepted papers will be presented both at a one-hour boaster session and during the workshop's poster session.
Papers should be in the ACM SIG proceedings format and submitted via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mube20....
In addition to the boaster/poster sessions, the workshop will include several invited talks and afternoon breakouts groups devoted to specific topics chosen by the workshop attendees.
