RIAO conferences have always treated robust and large-scale scientific and industrial solutions to information processing. The conferences are composed of peer-reviewed scientific sessions and demonstrations of innovative industrial applications and advanced research prototypes. Scope of the Conference Submissions are invited which present recent, original and unpublished research on the theme of RIAO 2010: adapting, personalizing and merging heterogeneous information.

The submissions will be judged on the basis of originality, relevance, technical quality, and presentation. Papers can be submitted in two categories: full papers and short papers, where full papers are appropriate for describing substantial research with related evaluations and short papers will typically describe ongoing research and preliminary results. All accepted papers in both categories will be published in the conference proceedings. At the conference, full papers will be presented as a talk and short papers will be presented as a poster. Long papers must not exceed 12 pages (5000 words), in one column format, starting with an abstract. Short papers must not exceed 6 pages (2500 words), in one column, starting with an abstract.

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS The RIAO conferences are meeting places for both scientific and industrial specialists in information retrieval. The facilities allow to present high-level peer-reviewed scientific research conferences and prototypes and of innovative products, selected by a special call for innovative applications. The displayed products are chosen uniquely on the basis of their innovativeness. The general topic of the Call for Applications is: INNOVATIVE TOOLS PROVIDING PERSONNALIZED ACCESS TO MULTIMEDIA AND/OR MULTILINGUAL DATA. Companies whose product fulfills the criteria of novelty and of innovativeness can fill in a submission document designed by the conference organizers that describes their submitted product. In addition to the submission document, product submitters will have to provide access to an online or CD version of the product that demonstrates the claimed innovative functionalities of the product. Every chosen company will be provided with a demonstration space (including table and chair) free of charge. Each company may also be given a special time slot (15 minutes) to give a short presentation about the product. Descriptions of the products demonstrated during RIAO 2010 will be published in the proceedings. The selected companies will also be invited to an event organized with Cap Digital business cluster (http://www.capdigital.com) providing B2B meetings with top members of the cluster followed by a networking event at La Cantine coworking space http://lacantine.org/ Program Chairs Gabriella Pasi (Europe) Tie-Yan Liu (Asia) Prabhakar Raghavan (Americas) Program committee: Agosti Maristella, University of Padova, Italy Amati Giambattista, Fondazione Ugo Bordoni, Italy Amitay Einat, IBM Research, Haifa Lab, Israel Bailey Alex, Google Switzerland GmbH, Switzerland Berendt Bettina, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium Boldi Paolo, Consigio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Italy Bordogna Gloria, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy Boughanem Mohand, Université Paul Sabatier, France Brisaboa Nieves, Universidad de la Coruna, Spain Bruza Peter, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia Bruzilovski Peter, University of Pittsburgh, USA Chen Hsin-Hsi, National Taiwan University, Taiwan Clarke Charles L.A., University of Waterloo, Canada Crestani Fabio, University of Lugano, Switzerland Croft Bruce, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA Currin Cathal, Dublin University, Ireland de Rijke Maarten, University of Amsterdam, Netherland Dumais Susan, Microsoft research, USA Efthimiadis Efthimis N., University of Washington, USA David A.
