Second Workshop on Semantic Personalised Information Management: Retrieval and Recommendation, Bonn, Germany
23 September 2011 - 23 September 2011
Germany
The Second Workshop on Semantic Personalised Information Management: Retrieval and Recommendation will take place from 23 to 24 September 2011 in Bonn, Germany.
Finding and managing information is a crucial task for internet users who have to deal with large amounts of information. Search engines have become an essential tool for finding and managing this information. While search engines implementing the canonical search paradigm are adequate for most ad-hoc keyword-based retrieval tasks, they have a very limited consideration of individual user's preferences or context.
With the advent of the Semantic Web, new opportunities emerge for semantic information retrieval systems to better match user needs. Next generation search engines should implement a novel search paradigm, where the user perspective is completely reversed: from finding to being found. Recommender systems may help to support this new perspective, because they have the effect of pushing relevant objects to potentially interested users.
The workshop will look to facilitate the exchange of ideas between the different communities involved in the research on semantic personalised information management.For further information, please visit: http://www.dai-labor.de/spim2011/?page_id=11(opens in new window)
