Accepted Papers


In order to allow a high degree of interaction, ECIR 2010 will have two presentation formats for full-papers. They will either be presented orally or in poster format. The two presentation formats do not infer any judgement on paper quality. The decision of which papers are presented in poster format or orally will be made shortly by the PC chairs, taking into account the views of the Programme Committee either at the PC meeting or through the review process.
