an international forum where researchers from both academia and industry
can meet, exchange experiences and present innovative works. CERI
welcomes contributions from a wide range of knowledge areas.
Specifically, we encourage the participation of not only researchers and
professionals from the Computer Science field, but also researchers with
background and experience on Information Sciences, Linguistics, or any
other related area to IR.
All scientists interested in IR related fields are welcome to
participate. We encourage national and international researchers from
both academia and industry to submit original papers, written in
English, related to any aspect of IR including, but not limited to the
following:
