WINPEN 2006
International Workshop on INformation Processing over Evolving Networks
June 17, 2006
Hong Kong, China
http://www.comp.polyu.edu.hk/~winpen06/
in conjunction with WAIM 2006
http://www.se.cuhk.edu.hk/~waim06/
Aims and Scope
The network technology has continued to evolve since its inception
forty years ago. Through the rapid development in the past ten
years, the Internet and the web has become the de facto standard of
communication nowadays, embracing information processing capability.
However, there are still a great variety of networks in operation,
and many more will be used for widespread deployment. The past few
years witness the upcoming of wireless/mobile networks and sensor
networks. Information processing on those networks continues to be
an important research and application area. This workshop aims at
sharing and integrating research efforts upon the information
processing issues on different types of networking systems, including
the standard Internet, intranets, wireless communication networks,
and the evolving sensor networks, internet 2 and so on.
WINPEN 2006 will be held in conjunction with WAIM 2006 conference
and invites original research contribution on generic and applied
research on information processing over different types of networks,
especially those within inter-disciplinary research. The workshop
would provide a forum where researchers and practitioners can share
and exchange their knowledge and experience.
Topics of Interest
The WINPEN 2006 topics of interest include but are certainly not
limited to the following areas:
* Networked information and database systems
* Indexing and information retrieval
* Web services and applications
* Peer-to-peer computing
* Data and resource sharing
* Agents
* Wireless networks and information access
* Mobile data management
* Data processing over sensor networks
* Streaming data
* Uncertainty data management in streams and sensor networks
* Data integration
* Privacy and security
We strongly encourage submission of papers bridging the research in
different fields and promoting mutual exchange and understanding of
cross-field research results.
Publication and Submission Details
The informal proceedings will be published by The Hong Kong Polytechnic
University. The formal proceedings will be published after the workshop
by IEEE.
All submissions should be in English. Submission of a paper should be
regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at
least one author will attend the workshop to present the work.
Papers should not exceed 8 pages in US Letter or A4 double column
format. Papers have to present original research contributions not
concurrently submitted elsewhere. Papers must be submitted to
winpen06(a)comp.polyu.edu.hk
by e-mails. All manuscripts will be reviewed by members of the program
committee based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and
clarity of exposition.

Call for Participation to NTCIR-6
Evaluation of Information Access Technologies: IR, QA and
Cross-lingual Information Access Technologies
http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/ntcir-ws6/http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/
Final Meeting: 15-18 May 2007, NII, Tokyo, Japan
**********************************************************
The NTCIR is a series of evaluation workshop to enhance the
research in information access technologies, including text
retrieval, question answering, cross-lingual information
access, etc, by providing infrastructure of evaluation
and research including test collections, evaluation metrics
and methodologies, and a forum of researchers.
NTCIR has used East Asian Language documents but attracted
international participation. For example NTCIR-5 has
participants from 15 different countries and areas including
Australia, Canada, China PRC, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan,
Korea, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan ROC,
UK, United States.
TASKS:
NTCIR-6 selected the following 4 areas of research as
"Tasks" and 1 area as a "pilot workshop"; Other "pilot tasks"
can be started any time during the process of NTCIR-6.
1. Cross-Lingual Information Retrieval Task (CLIR)
Multi- and Bi-lingual CLIR, and
Single language IR
Languages: Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.
Simplified Chinese can be added. To conclude the CLIR to
news documents, 4 CLIR test collections, NTCIR-3 through -6
will be used and Cross-collection analysis will be done.
New metrics for graded relevance judgments are used.
Discussion about evaluation metrics and methodologies
are also welcome.
2. Cross-Language Question Answering Task (CLQA)
Focus on Named Entities, which are one of the problems
in CL information access in Asian context.
Traditional Chinese, English and Japanese. Korean language
is under consideration. Volunteer for cooperation to
organize Korean part is welcome.
3. Patent Retrieval Task (PATENT)
Retrieval task: "Invalidity search" Using Japanese patents
(10 year patent application fulltexts) and US patents.
Use 4 patent collections of NTCIR-3 through -6.
Classification task: Multi-viewpoint categorization. The
purpose is to categorize target patent applications based
on the F-term classification system.
4. Question Answering Task (QAC)
Question answering beyond factoid questions and their evaluation
method. Focusing to complicated questions like "WHY".
5. Pilot Tasks
Any attempts to test the problems to be solved in short
time, or feasibility studies for the future tasks. To be
announced later. Opinion Extraction, Multilingual Multi-
document Summarization, Evaluation of WEB Search engine
are now under consideration, but not decided
6. Pilot Workshop: Multimodal Summarization of Trend Information (MuST)
Focusing numerical information in the text. Extract
numerical information representing the trends from multiple
documents, analyze, summarize and display visully. In the
last MuST Workshop, we constructed an annotated corpus and
shared it. Research groups from various disciplinaries share
the corpus and work various direction of research using
the corpus. Currently using Japanese documents only.
To be announced later.
WHAT'S NEW to NTCIR-6:
(1) Cross-Collection Evaluation:
In IR related tasks, multiple test collections for the same
document genres and the same users' tasks will be used and
analyze the variability across the collections.
(2) Submission Raw Data and Evaluation Results:
All the submitted runs and their evaluated results using the
metrics set by the task will be available for the active
participants of the task. The purpose of this is that we
invite all the task participants to discuss, analyze or
examine the evaluation metrics and evaluation results of
the task.
Evaluation is very critical issue for all of the researchers.
So please examine how the evaluation is done and how the
metrics behave, or whether there are any methods to
overcome the limitation of current practice of the
evaluation. With your cooperation, we would like to
obtain fruitful examination of the evaluation results
and metrics.
OPEN SUBMISSION SESSION:
Conjunction with NTCIR-6 Final Meeting, a separate
conference called "Open Submission Session" will be held.
This is a refereed international conference on research
in Information Access and their evaluation.
Detailed information will be announced later.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Registration Deadline: May 31, 2006
Document Set Release: June 1, 2006
Dry Run: July - September, 2006
Formal Run： October - December, 2006
Evaluation Results Return: by February 1, 2007
Paper for the Proceedings Due : March 1, 2007
Final Meeting, Tokyo, Japan: May 15-18, 2007
