CALL FOR PAPERS

TEXT RETRIEVAL TECHNIQUES IN WEB ENVIRONMENTS
Invited session in  SCI'99/ISAS'99 

Although Text Retrieval is a well known topic and has been 
studied extensively, the World Wide Web provides many new
needs and possibilities for this field of research. 
We would like to offer the researchers the possibility to
create a forum to discuss how to query documental or textual 
databases through the Web (or the Web itself) using Text Retrieval 
techniques in order to provide easy-to-use and accurate interfaces
to retrieve documents.
 
This invited session will take place as part of 
the 3rd World Multiconference on SYSTEMICS, CYBERNETICS AND INFORMATICS
(SCI'99) and The 5th International Conference on INFORMATION SYSTEMS, 
ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS (ISAS'99) to be held
in Orlando Florida, USA, from July 31 to August 4, 1999.

Details about registration, emplacement, activities, etc., can be found 
at http://www.iiis.org/isas, but questions about this invited session should 
be asked by sending an email to: trwe@rosalia.dc.fi.udc.es

If this is your field of research, we encourage you to send a paper draft 
(max 5000 words, in English) before May 3, 1999.

The draft papers should be sent, in Postscript format, to the
e-mail address
                              trwe@rosalia.dc.fi.udc.es

The paper drafts will be evaluated by at least three referees, and the 
selected papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
