The SIGIR 2006 workshop program

The SIGIR workshop program aims to facilitate the development of subcommunities within the greater SIGIR population, encourage the exploration of new areas and foster interaction with participants from related fields. The 2006 program achieved all these goals with a broad range of workshops that both reunited researchers from previous workshops (such as multilingual information access and exploratory search) and introduced new topics (such as personal information management and faceted search).
