Fifth Information Interaction in Context Symposium

The Information Interaction in Context conference (IIiX) is a unique forum exploring the relationships between and within the contexts that affect information retrieval (IR) and information seeking, how these contexts impact information behavior, and how knowledge of information contexts and behaviors improves the design of interactive information systems. The intention of IIiX is to foster an integrated approach to information access by bringing together members of the diverse research communities in information seeking behaviour, user interface design for IR systems, and IR system design. This year we are putting particular emphasis on "building bridges" between the various research communities with specific activities being planned to encourage improved understanding of differing viewpoints and foster collaboration
