Distributed Multimedia Information Retrieval by Jamie Callan
During recent years, huge efforts have been made to establish digital libraries, in a variety of media, offered from a variety of sources, and intended for a variety of professional and private user communities. As digital data collections proliferate, problems of resource selection and data fusion become major issues. Traditional search engines, even the best ones, are unable to provide access to the hidden web of information that is only available via digital library search interfaces. Originating from the SIGIR 2003 Workshop on Distributed Information Retrieval, held in Toronto, Canada in August 2003, this book presents extended and revised workshop papers as well as several invited papers on the topic to round off coverage of the core issues. The papers are devoted to recent research on the design and implementation of methods and tools for resource discovery, resource description, resource selection, data fusion, and user interaction.
Fabio Crestani has been Professor at the Universit� della Svizzera Italiana (USI) in Lugano, Switzerland since 2007. Before that he was Professor at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow (UK) and the University of Padua (Italy), spending sabbatical time at Yahoo! (Spain), UC Berkeley (USA), PARC (USA), and the University of Grenoble (France). His main areas of research are Information Retrieval, Text Mining, and Digital Libraries. He has co-edited 9 books and published over 200 refereed papers in these areas of research.
Stefano Mizzaro is Associate Professor at the University of Udine, Italy, since 2006. His current research interests include Information Retrieval and mobile contextual information access. He published more than 100 refereed papers, several as a single author, received some international awards for best papers, and authored two books on Java programming. He had an active role in several research projects at regional, national, and European level.
Ivan Scagnetto holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Udine and is Researcher (Assistant Professor) at the same university since 2005. His current research activity is focused on Computer Aided Formal Reasoning and Mobile/Distributed Systems. He is co-author of several peer-reviewed papers and of a textbook on server-side web technologies. He worked in several research and technology transfer projects at regional, national and international level.
