Refereed Track: Search

The Web consists of billions of pages containing insights and information regarding all endeavors of humankind. This information is heterogeneous in language, style, focus, content, linking behavior, purpose, and format.

The Search track welcomes contributions related to any area of web search, including the following:

  • Citation analysis
  • Distributed and peer-to-peer search
  • Domain-specific search
  • Indexing
  • Link-based search techniques
  • Metasearch
  • Natural language interfaces to search

  • Blog and online-community search
  • Multimedia search
  • Query processing
  • Ranking
  • Search engine design and architecture
  • Search interfaces
