NWSearch 2015First International Workshop on Novel Web Search Interfaces and Systems Co-located with CIKM 2015 Melbourne, Australia October 23, 2015  Welcome to NWSearch 2015The World
Wide Web offers one of the largest and most diverse collection of documents,
and this provides both challenges and opportunities in searching and mining the
collection. The traditional method of searching the collection has been through
using some keyword queries, browsing top few answers (referred to as "10 blue
links") and sometimes navigating the links. While this simple interface is
effective and serves many general needs, it is very primitive in expressing
more complex tasks and search scenarios. For example, too many searches require
more than one query, and once the relevant documents are found, not much else is
done on those documents. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners who are interested in pushing this search boundary and exploring more novel forms of searches, interfaces, task formulations, and result organizations and presentations. In particular, the workshop seeks to identify some of the problems and challenges facing the development of such tools and interfaces and to flourish new ideas and findings that can shape or influence future research directions and developments. Within the scope of the stated goal, all contributions that fall within the large spectrum of human-computer interaction in one extreme and system production and development in the other extreme are encouraged.
