-The complete records of queries received by web search engines (Query Logs
-or QLs) are the fundamental evidence of their audience search goals and the
-engines? ability to provide satisfactory answers. QLs include information
-such as queries submitted, reformulations, session boundaries, results
-actually explored (click through data), time spent reading each result, and
-so on. Commercial search engines use QL analysis to extract patterns of
-individual and collective behavior and use this feedback for improving
-search performance and accuracy. At the same time, the queries made by a
-particular individual often reflect their current interests and
-preoccupation and reveal a surprising amount of highly personal
-information. Hence the use of QLs raises issues of privacy and data
-ownership, which in turn gives rise to technical problems of QL
-anonymization and data security and legal and ethical problems regarding
-the use and retention of QLs.
-This special issue of ACM Transactions on the Web aims to gather a
-collection of high quality contributions that reflect both technical and
-non-technical issues related to QL analysis.
-Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
-Search & Ranking: Use of QLs for ? ranking; query refinement and
-expansion; behavior prediction; implicit collaborative filtering; targeted
-advertising; document expansion; document clustering; metadata creation;
-etc;
-Data mining & prediction: QL trend extraction; ?Buzz? mining; Product
-performance prediction; Correlation of QL data with external events;
-Patterns of information-seeking & interaction behaviors observed in QLs;
-Performance & Evaluation: Query caching based on QL patterns; Sampling
-QLs; QL-based search quality evaluation; QL-based models of relevance;
-Privacy & Policy: QL anonymization; Privacy preserving tools (e.g. query
-blocking, masking and obfuscation); Privacy preserving QLs analysis.
-Legal, regulatory, and ethical issues in QL collection and use; Practical
-policies and practices of query logging; QL data retention issues.
-Prospective authors, please submit your paper according to the directions
-on the ACM TWEB Web site following the content and formatting guidelines
-available at http://www.acm.org/tweb/author.html . There you can also find
-detailed information about the ACM TWEB review process. When submitting
-your paper, please mention that it is to be considered for the special
-issue on Query Log Analysis: Technology & Ethics. In addition, please send
-a copy of your paper to einat@il.ibm.com
