10th Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries - IRCDL 2014

30-31 January 2014, Padua, Italy

IRCDL is a yearly deadline for Italian researchers on Digital Libraries related topics. One of the focus of IRCDL 2014 is on emphasizing the multidisciplinary nature of the research on digital libraries which not only goes from computer science to humanities but also crosses among areas in the same field ranging, for example, from archival to librarian sciences or from information management systems to new knowledge environments. This is a continued challenge for the DL field and there is the need to continue to contribute to improve the cooperation between the many communities that share common objectives.

Submission Deadline: December 13, 2013

Evaluation Methodologies in Information Retrieval

October 27 to November 1, 2013, Dagstuhl Seminar

Evaluation of information retrieval (IR) systems has a long tradition. However, the test-collection based evaluation paradigm is of limited value for assessing today's IR applications, since it fails to address major aspects of the IR process. Thus there is a need for new evaluation methodologies.

This seminar aims to:

- Increase understanding of the central problems in evaluating information retrieval

- Meld a cross-fertilization of ideas in the evaluation approaches from the different IR evaluation communities

- Create new methodologies and approaches for solving existing problems

- Enhance the validity and reliability of future evaluation experiments

- Examine how to extract pertinent IR systems design elements from the results of evaluation experiments, in the long run.

To attain the goals of the seminar, each participant will be expected to identify one to five crucial issues in IR evaluation methodology. These perspectives will result in primarily theoretical presentations with empirical examples from current studies. Based on these contributions we will identify a selected set of methodological issues for further development in smaller working groups. The expected outcomes of the seminar will be the basis for one or more new evaluation frameworks and improved methodological solutions.

IRCDL 2013: 9th Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries

January 31 - February 1, 2013, Rome, Italy

IRCDL is a yearly deadline for Italian researchers on Digital Libraries related topics. The IRCDL conferences have been launched and initially sponsored by DELOS, an EU FP6 Network of Excellence on digital libraries together with the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Padua. Over the years IRCDL has become a self sustainable event sponsored by the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Padua and supported by the Italian Digital Library Research Community. The previous events were held in Bari, Pisa and Padua.

This year the focus of IRCDL 2013 is on emphasizing the multidisciplinary nature of the research on digital libraries which not only goes from humanities to computer science but also crosses among areas in the same field ranging, for example, from archival to librarian sciences or from information systems to human-computer interaction. This is a continued challenge for the DL field and there is the need to effectively bridge the gap existing between communities that share common objectives. The aim is therefore to provide the opportunity to explore new ideas, techniques, and tools, developed both in the humanities and computer science fields, and to exchange experiences from on-going projects.

Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries

23-27 September 2012, Paphos, Cyprus

The International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries is the successor of the European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries (ECDL). TPDL/ECDL has been the leading European scientific forum on digital libraries for 15 years. The conference continues to bring together researchers, developers, content providers and users in the field of digital libraries.

Over the last years, Digital Libraries have taken over a central role in our society. As the volume of digital material grows, and its use becomes more ubiquitous, the challenge of combining our digital futures and digital past becomes more important. Innovative methods, collaborative working and new forms of content challenge established digital library methods. Similarly, the need for increasingly sophisticated means for supporting the analysis of digital content by humanists and scientists, practitioners and academics, leads to new difficulties for the infrastructure and interface of information repositories.
