Call For Participation
RIAO'97 CONFERENCE
Computer-Assisted Searching on the Internet
June 25-27, 1997
McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
http://www.sciences.univ-nantes.fr/RIAO97 [note: RIAO in CAPS]
Brief Description :
- -------------------
Every three years the Centre de Hautes Etudes Internationales
d'Information Documentaire (CID) of Paris, France, along with various
international affiliates, organizes an RIAO conference (RIAO is the
French acronym for Computer-Assisted Information Retrieval). RIAO97
will be the fifth conference in the series. RIAO85 was held in
Grenoble, France; RIAO88 at MIT; RIAO91 in Barcelona; and RIAO94 at
Rockefeller University in New York.
RIAO conferences have the special feature of incorporating
both scientific papers and innovative product demonstrations. Both
the product demonstrations and the scientific papers (which are often
accompanied by prototype system demonstrations) are subject to a
rigorous selection process. The mix of scientific expertise and
state-of-the-art industrial development lends itself to a critical
examination of both aspects, stimulating both new product development,
ecnouraging sponsorship of start-ups, as well as initiating lines of
further, critical research investigations.
RIAO97 focuses on new problems in information retrieval, filtering,
and dissemination resulting from the recent profusion and extensions
of networks. In particular, RIAO97 brings together search specialists
and web-based media specialists to consider how searching can best be
accomplished in the context of the proliferation of web sites, content
formats, browsing modalities, amount of data accessible, and number of
user accesses.
