Summary on Grant Application Form
This proposal seeks funds to help run an international conference, CoLIS5, with the specific theme of the role of context within information access systems. The conference is the fifth in a successful series of international conferences; the first time the conference series has come to the UK. The previous conference attracted 200 international delegates, for CoLIS5 we expect a similar or greater number. We have chosen a conference theme that is important and timely to a range of computing areas which deal with information and information access including areas such as artificial intelligence, information retrieval, human-computer interaction and mobile computing. The grant will support student attendance at the event, support research student training by holding a dedicated Doctoral Forum and increase the prestige of the event by providing the costs of one of the invited speakers, Professor David Blair, University of Michigan. Professor Blair is a recognised international leader in the area of information systems. His involvement will add to the existing quality of the event, attract delegates and demonstrates the international nature of the conference.
