Search engines

The fourth international conference on search engines, organised by Infonortics Ltd, will be held in Boston, USA, on 19 and 20 April 1999. The aim of the event is to discuss recent developments in trends in software and research, and what is currently happening to make searching easier and more productive. Discussions will focus on the realities faced by end users and professional searchers today and what they require and expect from search engines.

The conference will feature search engines that explore summarisation, video, cross language, speech recognition, relational clustering, visualisation and text mining. The problem of the lack of sophistication of many search engines in dealing with a mass of data that is increasingly varied and unstructured will also be addressed.

In addition, this year's conference will feature an exhibition which will run in parallel with the conference. A demonstration area will also provide participants with the opportunity to see the operation of new software first hand.
