FQAS 2015
Eleventh International Conference on
Flexible Query Answering Systems
October 26-28, 2015, Cracow, Poland

CALL FOR PAPERS

http://fqas2015.ibspan.waw.pl/

#####################################################################

FQAS is the premier conference focusing on the key issue in the
information society of providing easy, flexible, and intuitive access to
information to everybody. In targeting this issue, the conference draws
on several research areas, such as information retrieval, database
management, information filtering, knowledge representation, soft
computing, management of multimedia information, and human-computer
interaction.


Moreover, important parts of conference will be concerned with general issues
of the modeling and coping with uncertainty, and human preference and intention
modeling which will provide a much needed link and cross fertilization for the database,
information retrieval, decision theoretic, uncertainty and imprecision modeling,
etc. communities. The conference provides a unique opportunity for
researchers, developers and practitioners to explore new ideas and
approaches in a multidisciplinary forum of the representatives
of all mentioned communities.

The previous FQAS events were held in 1994 (Denmark), 1996 (Denmark),
1998 (Denmark), 2000 (Poland), 2002 (Denmark), 2004 (France),
2006 (Italy), 2009 (Denmark), 2011 (Belgium) and 2013 (Spain).

The leading topic of the FQAS conferences are innovative query systems
aimed at providing easy, flexible and human-freindly access to
information. Such systems are becoming increasingly important also due
to the huge and always growing number of users as well as the growing
amount of available information. Thus, the works related to the concepts
of big data, data streams querying etc. are very welcome.
