CHIIR 2017 - 2nd ACM SIGIR Conference on Human Information Interaction and Retrieval

The ACM Conference on Human Information Interaction & Retrieval (CHIIR) is the pre-eminent forum for the presentation and discussion of research related to the user-centered aspects of information interaction and information retrieval, including human involvement in search activities and information seeking in context. We invite submissions on user-centered approaches to information retrieval, access, and use, including studies of interactive systems, novel interaction paradigms, new evaluation methods, and a range of related areas. Research that draws upon related work in communities such as psychology and human-computer interaction is encouraged.
We expect submissions to contain a rigorous evaluation of any proposed findings, using techniques such as laboratory studies, field experiments, in situ observational studies, crowdsourcing, simulations of search behavior, and log analysis. Authors should describe their methods and techniques in enough detail to allow for replication and reuse.
Users are central to the design, evaluation, and use of information retrieval systems. Many areas of interest for CHIIR have traditionally been covered under “Users and interactive IR” at the SIGIR Conference, and at the HCIR and IIiX conferences, which have merged to form this outlet. CHIIR provides a dedicated venue for broader, deeper discussion of research in this important area. We are particularly interested in papers about the following areas:
Information seeking, search and retrieval, including task-based and exploratory search
Interaction techniques for information retrieval and discovery
Online information-seeking behavior, including log analysis of search and browsing
Modeling and simulation of information interaction
Search user interfaces, including those for specialized tasks, populations and domains
Information use, including measures of use and sensemaking
Field and case studies relevant to information retrieval and access
User-centered evaluation methods and measures, including measures of user experience and performance, experiment and search task design, data analysis methods, and usability
Context-aware and personalized search, contextual features and analysis for information interaction
Collaborative information seeking and social search, including social utility and network analysis for information interaction
Information visualization and visual analytics, search result presentation
User-centered work in other areas of information retrieval
Full paper submissions should be in English and formatted using the LaTeX or Word style templates from the ACM Website: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-t.... Submissions should be in PDF. Full paper submissions should not exceed 10 pages and short paper submissions should not exceed 4 pages. Accepted full and short papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library as part of the conference proceedings. The system for submitting papers will be made available soon.
