Summary

---------------

Towards e-Memories: challenges of capturing, summarising, presenting, understanding, using, and retrieving relevant information from heterogeneous data contained in personal media archives.

Following on from last year’s successful workshop – see proceedings at <http://doras.dcu.ie/15373/> http://doras.dcu.ie/15373/  or June 2010 SIGIR Forum report at <http://www.sigir.org/forum/2010J/2010j-sigirforum-gurrin.pdf> http://www.sigir.org/forum/2010J/2010j-sigirforum-gurrin.pdf -  we seek to bring together researchers from diverse disciplines to exchange ideas on how we can advance towards the goal of effective capture, retrieval and exploration of e-memories. We are interested in the report of current work including:

- Development of new sensing devices and technologies to capture novel data of personal interest

- Algorithmic research

- User studies on the real-life benefits of efficiently accessing personal media archives

- Position papers on the place of personal media archive research within information retrieval

- Proposals for research strategies in this area
