CONTEXT
Is e-mail obsolete? As a matter of fact, we tend to gather more and
more information in our inboxes: personal and professional
communications, but also marketing and commercial ads, alerts and
notifications from websites or social networks, search engines
results, agendas, ... The current use also tends to widen: e-mail is
not only used to fulfill inter-personal communication but also to
exchange files, to gather RSS feeds or to pick up a date for a
meeting. Many people rely on their inboxes to retrieve important
information and to organize their daily work.

Do electronic messaging systems offer new solutions to answer these
existing and future usages of e-mail? What will be the trends in e-
mail software? E-mail solutions nowadays don't present huge
differences with early ones : a 3-pane interface displaying email
folders, a list of messages in chronological order and the content of
the message currently selected. Gmail was quite revolutionary with its
new UI (thread list and thread view) and is considered as the major
innovation lately. Social networks (Facebook) and broadcast medium
(Twitter) enable to reach a broader audience while reducing
unsolicited messages. Given this context, what will be the next
innovations in e-mail software: Unified messaging system? Integration
of tasks manager and agenda? Is e-mail really collaborative? And does
e-mail solutions allow collaboration through e-mail? Can we (should
we) share contacts, threads, encourage content sharing instead of
exchanging files with e-mail?  Workshop Goals

This workshop aims at gathering the most relevant scientific and
technical contributions, in order to enlighten the current key
research on emails and to unveil some of the main upcoming trends.
Scientific contributions either from core e-mail research or external
fields are sought for, such as (but not limited to): IA (intelligent
agents), NLP (email linguistic analysis), SNA (social network
analysis), psychology (group interaction, graph communication
analysis, ...), linguistic (stylistic changes from letter-writing to
instant messaging jargon), human-computer interaction (user
experience, design guidelines). As well as technical issues, efficient
and emerging best practices based upon real life scenarii, user
experience, security issues, legal archiving, new protocols may also
be of interest. A comprehensive list of topics is available here.

TOPICS

Topics include but are not limited to:
- Email content analysis, information extraction, summarization
- Email social networks in enterprise
- Email management strategies within organizations
- Adaptative email agents and semantic agents
- Emails archives exploration, visualization, regulations and
  behaviors
- Email visual interfaces and human/computer interaction with emails
- Case studies, experiments and user studies on emails usages
- Benchmark and email testing datasets
- Interoperability over email with enterprise resources and legacy  
  systems
- Semantic email and email mining
- Unified messaging and web interactions : instant messaging, RSS
  feeds, annotations, tagging
- Personal information management integration in email clients,
  pending task management
- Interaction between email , PIM and the mobility factor
- Facing the volume growth, do we need to replace the old protocols?
- Evolution of infrastructures and uses

SUBMISSION

All papers accepted for the NextMail'11 workshop will be included in
