Meeting Description:

The Second International Workshop on Gamification for Information Retrieval
(GamifIR’15) focuses on the challenges and opportunities that gamification can
present for the IR community. The workshop, organized in conjunction with
ECIR’15, aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from a wide
range of areas including game design, information retrieval, human-computer
interaction, computer games, and natural language processing.

Call for Papers:

Topics of Interest:

In this workshop we want to discuss and learn from planned and already executed studies and utilizations of gamification. Therefore we invite the submission of position papers as well as novel research papers and demos addressing problems related to gamification in IR. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Gamification approaches in a variety of contexts, including document annotation and ground-truth generation; interface design; information seeking; user modelling; knowledge sharing
- Gamification design
- Applied game principles, elements and mechanics
- Gamification analytics
- Long-term engagement
- User engagement and motivational factors of gamification
- Player types, contests, cooperative gamification
- Search challenges and gamification
- Game based work and crowdsourcing
- Applications and prototypes

Submissions from outside the core IR community and from industry are actively encouraged.

Submission Details:

All papers should be 2-5 pages long (in PDF format) following the ACM proceedings format and must be submitted electronically by 2 February 2015 through the EasyChair submission page:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gamifir15

The submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the program committee. We are planning for a highly interactive workshop where all accepted papers will be presented in boaster+poster format.
