CALL FOR PAPERS

The current arena in search engine applications is dominated by large
corporations that provide search services based on traditional
crawling/indexing tecniques, through powerful clusters. But new needs,
technologies and opportunities are addressing the research in this
field towards different directions: mobility, ubiquitous access and
personalization, P2P systems, both for contents sharing and
collaborative computation, open new, exciting perspecitves in the
landscape of search applications.

The proposed workshop, is aimed at highlighting the cutting edge of
search engines' technology and applications, fostering information
exchange between researchers working on various fields, such as
distributed and pervasive systems, Semantic Web and Web services,
mobile and personalized services and applications and compare their
efforts against users' and industry's needs and expectations as well
as at increasing mutual awareness and cooperation between ongoing
projects on advanced search systems around the world.

Suggested topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

Large Distributed Computing Systems
    * P2P for collaborative data intensive computation
    * Distributed Filesystems
    * (Semantic) Web Services and Applications
    * Privacy, Security & Accountability in P2P applications

Mobile and Ubiquitous Services and Applications
    * Location Based Services
    * Human Machine Interaction
    * Personalized Services

Multimedia Content Discovery and Distribution
    * Digital Rights Management
    * Intelligent Agents
    * Audio-visual indexing and retrieval
    * Multimedia content adaptation
