Search has become an important and necessary component of many diverse ICT applications. A large number of business and application areas depend on the efficiency and availability of search techniques that are capable to process and retrieve heterogeneous and dispersed data. Search techniques are directly related to a number of research topics and challenges ranging from multimodal analysis and indexing to affective computing and human aspects as well as to various socio-economic challenges including standardization, legal and ethical issues. The area covering all these issues is also known as “Search Computing”
This workshop will be a platform for the discussion of the key research, business and socio-economic issues in search computing. It will consist of invited talks and panels from experts in the field, results from the CHORUS+ Network and the Media Search Cluster. The workshop conclusions will contribute towards future research agendas and programmes, such as the European Union's Common Strategic Framework (Horizon 2020).
Additionally, the workshop seeks contributions on various aspects of search computing in the form of position papers and presentations of current and future challenges and emerging topics. We also welcome presentations of interesting applications and demos.
