WIRSS 2010 OVERVIEW
---
The focus of the Third International Workshop on Web Information Retrieval
Support Systems is on the aspects of Web information retrieval that consider
the specific needs of individuals conducting Web searches. Web Information
Retrieval Support Systems (WIRSS) move beyond the traditional focus of
automated searching within digital collections, applying intelligent
methods and Web-based technologies to assist users in specifying their
information needs, evaluating and exploring search results, and managing the
information they find.
Fundamentally, WIRSS research supports a change in design philosophy, moving
the focus of Web search from the documents being searched to the tasks that
people need to perform. We believe this philosophical shift will mark the
move towards next-generation Web search systems, and a transition from
information retrieval to knowledge retrieval.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together academic and industry
researchers to discuss advances in providing intelligent support for the
user-centric tasks associated with Web search. Researchers from diverse
fields such as information retrieval, artificial intelligence,
human-computer interaction, information visualization, Web systems, natural
language processing, and agent systems are invited to contribute to this
workshop.
