======================================================

The workshop will be held during ECIR'08 in Glasgow (UK).

The call for papers aims at original high-quality presentations dealing with typical and new efficiency issues in IR. Some of the topics of the accepted contributions would include, but are not limited to:


 * exploiting compression in traditional/web IR systems,
 * multi-core architectures for efficient traditional/web IR,
 * caching for fast query processing,
 * static/dynamic pruning for efficient traditional/web IR systems,
 * efficient dynamic indexing,
 * efficient filtering,
 * load balancing,
 * fast auto-completion,
 * tolerant retrieval,
 * scalable search in P2P architectures,
 * efficient multimedia IR,
 * scalable routing in distributed architectures,
 * parallel and distributed techniques for IR.

The organisers will also conduct a guided discussion among all the participants regarding to future trends in scalability of search engines and new architectures, and the transferability of the research results to a full production real environment. A discussion panel of selected experts in the field will also be held. We are planning to consider a selection of the best accepted papers for publication on an special issue.
