SPIRE 2011 is the 18th edition of the International Symposium on String P=
rocessing and Information Retrieval. It will will take place at the Natio=
nal Council of Research campus (=93Area della Ricerca del CNR=94) in Pisa=
, Italy, and will be co-organized by the Institute for the Science and Te=
chnologies of Information of the Italian National Council of Research (IS=
TI-CNR), Pisa, and the Department of Computer Science of the University o=
f Pisa.

The scope of the SPIRE series of symposia includes not only fundamental a=
lgorithms in string processing and information retrieval, but also SP and=
 IR techniques as applied to areas such as computational biology, DNA seq=
uencing, and Web mining. Given its interdisciplinary nature, SPIRE offers=
 a unique opportunity for researchers from these different areas to meet =
and network.

Typical topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    * String Processing: Dictionary algorithms, Text searching, Pattern m=
atching, Text and sequence compression, Succinct and compressed indexing,=
 Automata-based string processing;
   =20
    * Biological Sequence Processing: Analysis of DNA and RNA sequencing =
data, Molecular sequence processing, Recognition of genes and regulatory =
elements, Comparative genomics and population genetics;
   =20
    * Information Retrieval: Information retrieval models, Indexing, Rank=
ing and filtering, Interface design for IR, Evaluation issues in IR, Text=
 analysis, Text mining, Text classi=0Cfication and clustering, Informatio=
n extraction, Language models and topic models for search related-tasks, =
Efficient implementation of IR systems, Algorithms and data structures fo=
r IR;
   =20
    * Search-related tasks: Cross-lingual information retrieval, Multimed=
ia / multi-modal information retrieval, Recommendation and collaborative =
filtering, Semi-structured data retrieval, Blog retrieval.
   =20
SPIRE 2011 welcomes either long papers (12 pages) or short papers (6-page=
s). Submissions must be anonymous and formatted using the Springer LNCS s=
tyle. At least three reviewers will evaluate each paper in double-blind m=
ode based on its originality, quality, methodological robustness, and sig=
nificance of theoretical and/or practical contribution. Papers must be in=
 English, must be unpublished, and must not be under submission at anothe=
r conference or journal for the entire duration of the SPIRE 2011 reviewi=
ng process.

All papers will be refereed according to the usual scientific standards. =
Accepted papers will appear in the Proceedings published by Springer Verl=
ag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, which will be distrib=
uted to all delegates at the symposium.

SPIRE 2011 will also feature a full day of tutorials and a full day of wo=
rkshops. See http://spire2011.isti.cnr.it/ if you are interested in submi=
tting either a tutorial or a workshop proposal.
