> the 28th to the 31st of March 2010.
> 
> 
> Call for Posters
> 
> Poster presentations offer researchers a unique opportunity to present 
> late-breaking results, significant work in progress or research that is 
> best communicated in an interactive or graphical format, for which there 
> is more time for discussion and questions than is sometimes available in 
> a full paper session. Poster presentations are also a good way to 
> present work applying information retrieval approaches and techniques to 
> new domains and problems. Please note, however, that posters describing 
> work at the proposal stage will not be accepted. Authors are invited to 
> submit posters presenting original, previously unpublished, work on or 
> before 22 October 2009. Submissions must be in English and must not 
> exceed 4 pages. Authors are encouraged to conceal their identity where 
> it is practical to do so. All posters will be refereed through 
> double-blind peer review. All accepted posters will be published in the 
> conference proceedings.
