Forwarded message from [dominich@DCS.VEIN.HU (Sandor Dominich)] sent originally on Tue, 11 Apr 2000 18:51:54 +0100: : ACM SIGIR 2000 WORKSHOP : : ON : : MATHEMATICAL/FORMAL METHODS IN INFORMATION RETRIEVAL : : Athens, Greece, July 28, 2000 : : Objective : : The purpose of the workshop is to promote discussion and interaction among : those with research interests in mathematical/formal aspects of Information : Retrieval: mathematical/formal foundations, descriptions, properties, : structures, theory, and applications of Information Retrieval models. We : believe that the development of mathematical/formal aspects of Information : Retrieval has come to a point where they should be summed, analyzed, weighed : and subjected to a scrutiny as to how they can best serve the further : development of Information Retrieval. : : The workshop aims at being a forum for the presentation of both theoretical : and applicative results. : : WORKSHOP CHAIRS : : · Sándor Dominich (University of Veszprem, Buckinghamshire College) : · Mounia Lalmas (Queen Mary and Westfield College) : · Keith van Rijsbergen (University of Glasgow) : : PROGRAM COMMITTEE : : · Peter Bollmann-Sdorra (Technische Universitat Berlin) : · Peter Bruza (University of Queensland) : · Steven Cater (Kettering University) : · Susan Dumais (Microsoft Research) : · Leo Egghe (Limburgs Universitair Centrum) : · Norbert Fuhr (University of Dortmund) : · Theo Huibers (KPMG Consulting) : · Don Kraft (Louisiana State University) : · Gabriella Pasi (Instituto per le Technologie Informatiche : Multimediali) : · Janet Payne (Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College) : · Vijay Raghavan (University of Louisiana at Lafayette) : · Ronald Rousseau (Catholic School for Higher Education Bruges-Ostend) : · Michael Wong (University of Regina) : : TOPICS OF INTEREST : : Contributions (papers, talks) are solicited dealing with, but not : necessarily limited to, the following areas: : : Information Retrieval : Information Filtering : Information Mining : Multimedia Indexing and Retrieval : Hypermedia : Web Retrieval : Digital Libraries : : where the different entities involved (e.g., documents, queries, indexing, : retrieval, relevance, effectiveness, users, etc.) are modeled using any of, : but not limited to, the following approaches: : : Sets Theory : Boolean Logic : Vector : Vector Space : Similarity Functions : Probability : Fuzzy Sets : Fuzzy Logic : Non-standard Logics : Information Theory : Situation Theory : Rough Sets : Quantum Logic : Functional Analysis : Algebra : Matroid Theory : Theory of Computation : Recursion Theory : Artificial Intelligence : Topology : : PARTICIPATION : : Those interested in making a presentation should submit their papers of at : most 8 pages by e-mail to the address below, using "MF/IR 2000 Submission" : as the e-mail subject line. Please submit the paper in Microsoft Word (or : postscript). : Those interested in giving a talk (without paper submission) should submit : the title and summary of at most one page. : All submissions should be made by e-mail to the address below, using "MF/IR : 2000 Submission" as the e-mail subject line.
