IEEE Intelligent Systems
Call for Papers: Mobile Information Retrieval

Mobile information retrieval (mobile IR) is concerned with the indexing and retrieval of information such as text, graphics, animation, sound, speech, image, and video, and their possible combinations for use in mobile devices with wireless network connectivity.

The proliferation of wireless and mobile devices such as personal digital assistants and mobile phones has created a large demand for mobile information content as well as effective mobile IR techniques. New technologies are needed for representing, modeling, indexing, and retrieving mobile data.

This special issue will focus on contributions that expand the state of the art of building intelligent systems for mobile IR. To be considered for this special issue, submissions related to information retrieval on the mobile Web and mobile Internet must address issues specific to mobile IR. We thus solicit original papers on research that

·         effectively indexes and retrieves mobile information,

·         can be integrated into unified mobile browsing and retrieval systems, and

·         gives new insight into scalable algorithms allowing access to very large mobile databases.

We are especially interested in papers that address

·         automatic summarization and personalization in mobile information;

·         content adaptation for small display devices;

·         content-based extraction, indexing, annotation, and retrieval of mobile data;

·         context-aware information processing;

·         data mining of query logs, clicks, and Web traffic on mobile devices;

·         efficient retrieval models and query processing of mobile information from distributed databases;

·         extraction of useful semantics in mobile information for indexing and retrieval;

·         knowledge discovery through content and keyword fusion in mobile summarization, indexing, and retrieval;

·         location-based search for mobile devices;

·         mobile learning and user profiling for mobile information retrieval;

·         mobile peer tagging and knowledge propagation;

·         mobile retrieval across multiple media types, network conditions, and user preferences;

·         multimodal user interface technologies;

·         scalable browsing algorithms for large mobile databases; and

·         spatial data management, mining spatial data generated by mobile users.

Submission Guidelines

 

Submissions due for review: 13 July 2009

 

Submissions should be 3,500 to 7,500 words (counting a standard figure or table as 200 words) and should follow the magazine’s style and presentation guidelines (see www.computer.org/portal/pages/intelligent/mc/author.html ). References should be limited to 10 citations. To submit a manuscript, access the IEEE Computer Society Web-based system, Manuscript Central, at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cs-ieee .
