We are extending deadlines for 'Web As A Stream' session at FQAS

This year, thanks to my friend Henning Christiansen I have a chance to organize a session at FQAS conference related to my own interests.

So we are organizing 'Web As A Stream' session, which concerns everything related to the new stream-like nature of the Web that is so much discussed today.

Speaking more formally, we invite contributions relating to the following topics:

 

 

•     real-time search
•     extending traditional Web search engines to capture stream data and their integration with specialized vertical search engines
•     archiving streams and exploring stream archives
•     stream personalization
•     stream analysis
•     stream filtering
•     spam identification in streams
•     identification of trends in streams
•     monitoring brand's reputation in streams
•     identification of influential members in network of streams (for example, in Twitter)
•     natural language processing and indexing techniques for microblogging streams
•     advertisement for streams
  

Paper submission deadline: July 12, 2009 !!!

In my opinion, the field of real-time Web streams have not gained popularity among academic researches yet. While it is so much discussed in the blogs. But I am pretty sure this topic will have its burst in academic conferences in 1/2 or a year.
