Call for Offers of Presentations
Offers of presentations should include an informative title, a
short, descriptive abstract as to what will be covered, plus a

and indexing, or in furthering the understanding of the meeting
participants in the general search area. All presentations will
be in the full session; there are no breakout or parallel sessions
at this meeting.
Those presenting will be given free registration to the two-day
conference (one free registration per presentation). Speaker expense
reimbursement will not normally be offered. Please send
offers, in the first instance, to Harry Collier at Infonortics

is normally finalised early in November and attracts many offers
to speak, it is advisable to send offers of presentations as
early as possible.

emphasize search engine technology and problem solving
