[Scope and Objectives]
xSIG (cross-disciplinary workshop on computing Systems, Infra-
structures, and programminG) is a workshop from 2017,
inheriting the tradition of JSPP，SACSIS，and ACSI. It solicits
contributions from a wide range of fields related to computing systems,
infrastructures, and programming, spanning all areas covered by the
sponsoring special interest groups (cross-SIG).
The main objectives of xSIG are to provide a forum to present and
discuss research ideas among researchers spanning many fields and to
raise young researchers through a globally standard peer review process.
In particular,
- We hope authors of xSIG workshop to advance their research based on
feedback received and step up to submitting their work to
international conferences and journals. We do not publish
workshop proceedings. The papers presented in xSIG will be available
only to the audience during the workshop. For those who want to
publish their work, we collaborate with IPSJ Transactions on ACS for
Special Issue on xSIG.
- We hope to give authors substantial feedback as well as a place for
young researchers to practice/improve writing papers for review,
through the globally standard conference format of submitting papers
for review, receiving/writing reviews, discussing papers in the
program committee meeting, etc. For this, we establish
Young Program Committee alongside the regular Program
Committee and welcome the participation of young researchers
including students to it, for "an early exposure" of motivated
students to peer review work normally done by senior researchers.
- We award many students.
From 2020, xSIG is co-located with SWoPP event (Summer United Workshops
on Parallel, Distributed and Cooperative Processing), in which many SIGs
on computing systems held workshops.

CALL FOR NTCIR-18 TASK PROPOSALS
Task Proposals Due: February 9, 2024 (AoE)
Submission Link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ntcir18proposal
*********************************************
We are delighted to announce the call for task proposal of NTCIR-18.
NTCIR (NII Testbeds and Community for Information Access Research)
is a series of evaluation conferences that mainly focus on information
access with East Asian languages and English. The first NTCIR
conference (NTCIR-1) took place in August/September 1999, and the
latest NTCIR-17 conference was held in December 2023. Research
teams from all over the world participate in one or more NTCIR tasks to
advance the state of the art and to learn from one another's experiences.
Now it is time to call for task proposals for the next NTCIR (NTCIR-18)
which will start in March 2024 and conclude in June 2025. Task
proposals will be reviewed by the NTCIR Program Committee, following
the schedule below:
* IMPORTANT DATES:
Feb 9, 2024 Task Proposal Submission Due (Anywhere on Earth)
Mar 8, 2024 Acceptance Notification of Task Proposals
* SUBMISSION LINK:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ntcir18proposal
* NTCIR-18 TENTATIVE SCHEDULE:
Mar 2024: Kickoff Event
May 2024: Dataset release*
Jun-Dec 2024: Dry run*
Sep 2024-Feb 2025: Formal run*
Feb 1, 2025: Evaluation results return
Feb 1, 2025: Task overview release (draft)
Mar 1, 2025: Submission due of participant papers (draft)
May 1, 2025: Camera-ready participant paper due
Jun 10-13 2025: NTCIR-18 Conference
(* indicates that the schedule can be different for different tasks)
* WHO SHOULD SUBMIT NTCIR-18 TASK PROPOSALS?
We invite new task proposals within the expansive field of information
access. Organizing an evaluation task entails pinpointing significant
research challenges, strategically addressing them through
collaboration with fellow researchers (including co-organizers and
participants), developing the requisite evaluation framework to propel
advancements in the state of the art, and generating a meaningful
impact on both the research community and future developments.
Prospective applicants are urged to underscore the real-world
applicability of their proposed tasks by utilizing authentic data,
focusing on practical tasks, and solving tangible problems.
Additionally, they should confront challenges in evaluating
information access technology, such as the extensive number of
assessments needed for evaluation, ensuring privacy while using
proprietary data, and conducting live tests with actual users.
In the era of large language models (LLMs), these models are
anticipated to significantly influence daily human activities.
Nonetheless, the content produced by LLMs often exhibits issues,
such as hallucinations. NTCIR-18 specifically encourages tasks that
focus on evaluating the quality of content generated by LLMs.
* PROPOSAL TYPES:
We will accept two types of task proposals:
- Proposal of a Core task:
This is for fostering research on a particular information access
problem by providing researchers with a common ground for evaluation.
New test collections and evaluation methods may be developed through
the collaboration between task organizers (proposers) and task
participants. At NTCIR-17, the core tasks are Lifelog-5, QA Lab-
PoliInfo-4, MedNLP-SC, SS-2, and FinArg-1 (Details can be found at
http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/NTCIR-17/tasks.html).
- Proposal of a Pilot task:
This is recommended for organizers who propose to focus on a novel
information access problem and there are uncertainties either in task
designing or organization. It may focus on a sub-problem of an
information access problem and may attract a smaller group of
participating teams than core tasks. However, it may grow into a core
challenging task in the next round of NTCIR. At NTCIR-17, the pilot
tasks are FairWeb-1, Transfer, UFO, and ULTRE-2 (Details can be found
at http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/NTCIR-17/tasks.html).
Organizers are expected to run their tasks mainly with their own
funding and to make the task as self-sustaining as possible. A part of
the fund can be supported by NTCIR, which is called "seed funding". It
is usually used for some limited purposes such as hiring relevance
assessors. The amount of seed funding allocated to each task varies
depending on requirements and the total number of accepted tasks.
Typical cases would be around 1M JPY for a core task and around 0.5M
JPY for a pilot task (note that the amount is subject to change).
Please submit your task proposal as a pdf file via EasyChair by Feb 9,
2024 (Anywhere on Earth).
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ntcir18proposal
* TASK PROPOSAL FORMAT:
The proposal should not exceed six pages in A4 single-column format.
The first five pages should contain the main part and appendix, and
the last page should contain only a description of the data to be used
in the task. Please describe the data in as much detail as possible so
that we can help your data release process after the proposal is
accepted. In the past NTCIRs, it took much time to create memorandums
for data release, which sometimes slowed down the task organization.

- Task type (core or pilot)
- Abstract
- Motivation
- Methodology
- Expected results
Appendix

permission to release the data yet, please describe your plan to get
the permission.)
- Distribution
(Please describe how you plan to distribute the data to participants.
There are mainly three choices: distributed by the data provider,
distributed by organizers, and distributed by NII.)
- Legal / Ethical issues
(If the data can cause legal or ethical problems, please describe how
you propose to address them. e.g. some medical data may need approval
from an ethical committee. e.g. some Web data may need filtering for
excluding discriminative messages.)
If you want NII to distribute your data to task participants on behalf
of you, please send an email to ntc-admin(a)nii.ac.jp prior to your task
proposal submission attaching the task proposal.
