SWIRL 2012: The Second Strategic Workshop on Information Retrieval in Lorne

Welcome

The Second Strategic Workshop on Information Retrieval in Lorne will be held from 15--17th February 2012.

Aim of the workshop

The purpose of this workshop is to explore the long-range issues of the field, to recognize challenges that are on -- or even over -- the horizon, to build consensus on some of the key challenges, and to disseminate the resulting information to the research community. Our intent is that this description of open problems will inspire researchers and graduate students to address the questions, and will provide funding agencies data to focus and coordinate support for information retrieval research.
