Call for Special Track on "Services"

The 13th European Conference on Digital Libraries, under the general theme "Digital Societies", plans to host a special track on Services offered in Digital Libraries environments.

The papers in this special track should be original of special high quality, address addressing issues in areas such as (but not limited to):

• Information Retrieval
• Multilingual and Multimedia information retrieval
• Personalization in Digital Libraries
• Ontology and Knowledge Management Systems
• Social Networking & Web 2.0 Technologies
• Archiving and Preservation Processes in Digital Libraries
• User Interfaces
• Deposit and transfer into and among repositories
• Specialized services for e-science, e-learning, e-government, cultural heritage, etc. applications
• Services to assist in the generation of a management of metadata, especially for nontextual resources
• Mash ups of resources into new information entities

Of special interest are papers that discuss services offered in particular application environments, as well as service frameworks that go beyond conventional, large scale distributed information systems and are applicable to building modern Digital Libraries that integrate into the Web 2.0 based social web.

The ECDL 2009 program will be made of general sessions and of special track sessions (clearly recognized in the program). Special track sessions will intend to be plenary (with no parallel events running on the same time). Papers selected for these sessions also will be automatically considered for "ECDL 2009 Best Paper".

"Services" Special Track Chairs:

• Carl Lagoze, Cornell University, USA.
• Timos Sellis, Institute for the Management of Information Systems and National Technical University of Athens, Greece.
