Gathering, sorting, evaluating and retrieving information is increasingly becoming crucial for professional (information) workers and also in every-day life. Consequently, information retrieval technology has been widely adopted in some fields, with some IR applications, such as Web search services becoming immensely popular.
Academic research has started to branch into many aspects covering advanced IR issues such as the handling of multilingual and multimedia information, but there is as yet little take-up in operational systems for the proposed solutions.
A methodology to perform an application-centric evaluation of operational information access systems will be presented and Best practice recommendations for IR system developers, IR application implementers and IR application maintainers will be given.
Key speakers from both technology producers and users will be invited to present their experiences, requirements and problems with respect to Information Access technology.
