5th IRF Conference – July 2 & 3 2012, Vienna, Austria Organised by the Vienna University of Technology and the MUMIA Cost Action Conference: http://www.ir-facility.org/irf-conference-2012 Paper Submission: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=irfc2012 T H E I R F C O N F E R E N C E The 5th Information Retrieval Facility Conference 2012 provides once again a multidisciplinary scientific forum for researchers in Information Retrieval and related areas. Furthermore, the conference aims at bringing young researchers into contact with the industry at an early stage. Another emphasis is put on the applicability of IR solutions to real industry cases and the respective challenges. A panel of experts from both academia and industry will discuss the relevance of the presented papers for current challenges faced by information professionals at the end of the conference. The 5th IRF Conference addresses 3 complementary research areas: * Information Retrieval * Machine Translation for search solutions * Interactive Information Access The 5th IRF Conference targets researchers who are interested in: * Learning about complementary technologies for the development of next generation search solutions * Applying their results to real business needs * Joining the international research network of the MUMIA Cost Action * Discussing results obtained by using the IRF data resources or other data resources All papers will undergo a review process with each paper being reviewed by at least three members of the programme committee. The proceedings in 2011 have been published by Springer in the LNCS series, and we have contacted Springer regarding 2012. All paper submissions must be written in English following the LNCS author guidelines. We welcome two different types of submissions(Science, Industry). - Science Papers For researchers and students in the fields of Information Retrieval, Machine Translation for Search Solutions and Interactive Information Access. Papers submitted must refer to novel, unpublished research. Full papers must not exceed 15 pages including references and figures. - Industry Papers For developers and implementers of novel technology in the fields of Information Retrieval, Machine Translation for Search Solutions and Interactive Information Access. For business and industry representatives using IR technologies to search and analyse large quantities of information. Papers of this type should not exceed 4 pages including references and figures. - PatOlympics For the 3rd time, the PatOlympics will take place together with the IRF Conference. This competition provides an interactive evaluation platform where prototypes of state-of-the-art patent retrieval systems are tested and driven to their limits by patent retrieval professionals. Research groups as well as technology providers are invited to participate in the PatOlympics.
