Information filtering has drastically changed the way information seekers

find what they are searching for. In fact, they effectively prune large

information spaces and help users in selecting items that best meet their

needs, interests, preferences, and tastes. These systems rely strongly on

the use of various machine learning tools and algorithms for learning how to

rank items and predict user evaluation.

Information Retrieval, on the other hand, attempts to address similar

filtering and ranking problems for pieces of information such as links,

pages, and documents. Information Retrieval systems generally focus on the

development of global retrieval techniques, often neglecting individual user

needs and preferences.

DART is focused on researching and studying new challenges in distributed

information filtering and retrieval. In particular, DART aims to investigate

novel systems and tools to distributed scenarios and environments.

Therefore, DART will contribute to discuss and compare suitable novel

solutions based on intelligent techniques and applied in real-world

applications.

SUBMISSIONS

DART 2011 is aimed at putting together practitioners and researchers working

on pervasive and intelligent access to distributed information, multimedia,

and web services.

Submissions must be original contributions that neither have been published

nor have been under review for publication elsewhere.

Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 12 pages in the Springer

LNCS style (please see

http://www.springer.com/authors/book+authors?SGWID=0-154102-12-417900-0,

contributed book for details). Submissions will have a peer review by the

Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance to the

workshop topics, originality, significance, and clarity.

To submit a paper please go to

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dart2011.

All accepted papers will be made available on DART website before the

beginning of the workshop. The corresponding-authors will be notified at all

time, for the submission, notification, and confirmation on the attendance.

Submitting a paper to the workshop means that, if the paper is accepted, at

least one author should attend the conference to present the paper and

should then register to the conference with a workshop fee.
