IIiX invites research contributions that approach contextual issues in information seeking and information retrieval from a broad range of perspectives. The intention of IIiX is to foster an integrated approach to information access by bringing together members of the research communities in information seeking behavior, interactive information retrieval, and information retrieval system design. Therefore, papers that integrate two or more of these perspectives are especially encouraged. Example topics include, but are not limited to:

* Interactive information retrieval and interface issues
* Qualitative approaches to the study of context-sensitive information seeking and information retrieval
* Context-aware retrieval models
* Relevance feedback (implicit & explicit) and query modification issues for capturing context
* Novel approaches to eliciting, identifying, capturing and representing contextual information
* Task-based interactive information retrieval and information seeking behavior
* Issues of genre, media, language, modality and structure in contextual information seeking and information retrieval
* Personalized and collaborative information access in context
* Contextual information interaction theory
* Nature of relevance in context
* Measures and methods for studying and evaluating information seeking and information retrieval in context
* Test collections for context-sensitive research

IIiX encourages the submission of original, high quality research papers that have not been published previously and are not under review for another conference or journal. All submissions will be reviewed by an international program committee. All accepted papers will be published in the symposium proceedings and included in the ACM Digital Library.

Submissions may either be full research papers or poster presentations, and are due on April 11, 2010, at 5 PM EST. Submission details will be available on the conference web site http://iiix2010.org.
