Summary

Towards e-Memories: challenges of capturing, summarising, presenting, understanding, using, and retrieving relevant information from heterogeneous data contained in personal media archives.

Following on from last year’s successful workshop ? see proceedings at http://doras.dcu.ie/15373/ or June 2010 SIGIR Forum report at http://www.sigir.org/forum/2010J/2010j-sigirforum-... - we seek to bring together researchers from diverse disciplines to exchange ideas on how we can advance towards the goal of effective capture, retrieval and exploration of e-memories. We are interested in the report of current work including:

- Development of new sensing devices and technologies to capture novel data of personal interest
- Algorithmic research
- User studies on the real-life benefits of efficiently accessing personal media archives
- Position papers on the place of personal media archive research within information retrieval
- Proposals for research strategies in this area
