CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

***************************************************************

3rd Temporal Web Analytics Workshop (TempWeb 2013)
in conjunction with WWW 2013
May 13, 2013, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
http://www.temporalweb.net/

Objectives:
The objective of this workshop is to provide a venue for researchers of 
all domains (IE/IR, Web mining etc.) where the temporal dimension opens 
up an entirely new range of challenges and possibilities. The workshop’s 
ambition is to help shaping a community of interest on the research 
challenges and possibilities resulting from the introduction of the time 
dimension in Web analysis. TempWeb focuses on temporal data analysis 
along the time dimension for Web data that has been collected over 
extended time periods. A major challenge in this regard is the sheer 
size of the data it exposes and the ability to make sense of it in a 
useful and meaningful manner for its users. Web scale data analytics 
therefore needs to develop infrastructures and extended analytical tools 
to make sense of these. TempWeb will take place May 13, 2013 in 
conjunction with the International World Wide Web Conference in Rio de 
Janeiro, Brazil.

"Stuff Happens Continuously: Exploring Web Contents With Temporal 
Information"

In the last few years there has been an increased interest from 
researchers and practitioners in exploring time as a dimension that can 
benefit several information retrieval tasks. There is exciting work in 
analyzing and exploiting temporal information embedded in documents as 
relevance cues for the presentation, organization, and the exploration 
of search results in a temporal context.

Most of the current approaches focus on leveraging the temporal 
information available in document sources like web pages or news 
articles. However, the Web keeps evolving beyond simple web pages and 
new information sources and services are adopted very rapidly. For 
example, the incredible amount of content that is generated by users in 
social networks offers another aspect to examine how people produce and 
consume content over time.

We review the current activities centered on identifying and extracting 
time information from document collections and the applications to the 
information seeking process. We outline the potential of new sources for 
studying temporal information by presenting new problems. Finally, we 
discuss a number of scenarios where a temporal perspective can provide 
insights when exploring Web contents.
