Final Call for Short Papers and Demos

36th Annual ACM SIGIR Conference, SIGIR 2013
Dublin, Ireland, 28 July-1 August, 2013

Submission - http://sigir2013-shortPaper.confmaster.net/

===================================================

Call for Short Papers and Demos
SIGIR is the major international forum for the presentation of new
research results and for the demonstration of new systems and techniques
in the broad field of information retrieval (IR). SIGIR 2013 will be
held in Dublin, Ireland from 28 July - 1 August 2013. The Conference and
Program Chairs invite all those working in areas related to IR to submit
original short papers, and proposals for demonstrations. Note, that both
short paper and demonstration submission guidelines have changed this
year to allow more space for authors to present their ideas.

Short Papers
Short Paper submissions offer researchers an opportunity to present
significant work in progress or research that is best communicated in an
interactive or graphical format. Each submission that is accepted for
SIGIR 2013 will be presented in a poster format, in order to provide
researchers with an opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their
work from a wide audience during the poster session.

What makes a good short paper? Short papers are not full papers squeezed
into four pages. They can present smaller or more speculative ideas,
they could also be be more controversial, they may present new
applications of old ideas or the reworking of previous studies. Finally,
they should be inspirational and spark some discussion.

Submissions are welcome in areas related to any aspect of Information
Retrieval (IR), as identified in the call for contributions and on the
SIGIR 2013 website. Submissions are short research papers presenting
original, previously unpublished work. Submissions describing the work
will be reviewed, and accepted submissions will be published in the
conference proceedings.

Short Paper Submission Content Guidelines
Submissions of short papers must be in English, in PDF format and should
not exceed 4 pages in SIGIR format (including references and
figures). Suitable LaTeX and Word templates for SIGIR are available from
the ACM Website (for LaTeX, use Option 2). Authors should conceal their
identity. Submissions that are over the 4-page limit or are not
anonymous or incomplete will be rejected without review. Note that
summaries of full papers that have already been published elsewhere
(including in another language) are not acceptable as short paper
submissions for SIGIR. It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure
that the PDF submission has been uploaded successfully. We suggest
downloading the PDF after submission and ensuring it is ok.

Submissions must be submitted electronically using the short paper track
of the conference submission system
(http://sigir2013-shortPaper.confmaster.net/). At least one author must
register and attend the conference.

Demonstrations
Demonstrations present first-hand experience with research prototypes or
operational systems. They provide opportunities to exchange ideas gained
from implementing IR systems and to obtain feedback from expert
users. Demonstration submissions are welcome in any of the areas related
to any aspect of Information Retrieval (IR), as identified in the call
for contributions and on the SIGIR 2013 website. The two-page
demonstration submissions will appear in the conference proceedings.

What makes a good demo? A good demonstration submission is interesting
to a SIGIR audience and shows a novel solution to a problem. The
demonstration submission should address the following questions. Who is
your target user? Why does my system exist and why is it important? What
does my demonstration do and how does it work? How does it compare with
existing systems? Finally, how and when might my technology have an
impact?

Demonstration Submission Content Guidelines
Submissions of demonstration papers must be in English and should not
exceed 2 pages in SIGIR format (including references and
figures). Suitable LaTeX and Word templates for SIGIR are available from
the ACM Website (for LaTeX, use Option 2). It is the responsibility of
the authors to ensure that the PDF submission has been uploaded
successfully. We suggest downloading the PDF after submission and
ensuring it is ok.

Unlike short and full-paper submissions, authors of demonstration
submissions are not expected to take measures to conceal their identity
from reviewers. Submissions that are over the 2-page limit and
incomplete submissions will be rejected without review.

Demonstration papers must be submitted electronically via the
demonstration track of the conference submission system
(http://sigir2013-demo.confmaster.net/). At least one author must
register and attend the conference.

Wireless network access, along with a table and poster mount backdrop
will be provided for accepted demonstrations.

Important Dates
- Short Paper and Demonstration submissions due: 18 February 2013.
- Acceptance notification: 15 April 2013
- Conference in Dublin, Ireland, 28 July - 1 August 2013.
