Hello everyone, We have extended the deadline for submissions to the Open Source Search Dev Room to Monday, 9 December at 23:59 CET. Cheers, LH On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 5:53 PM, Leslie Hawthorn <mebelh@gmail.com> wrote:
***Please forward this CFP to anyone who may be interested in participating.***
Search has evolved to be much more than simply full-text search. We now rely on “search engines” for a wide variety of functionality: search as navigation, search as analytics and backend for data visualization and sometimes, dare we say it, as a data store. The purpose of this dev room is to explore the new world of open source search engines: their enhanced functionality, new use cases, feature and architectural deep dives, and the position of search in relation to the wider set of software tools.
We welcome proposals from folks working with or on open source search engines (e.g. Apache Lucene, Apache Solr, Elasticsearch, Seeks, Sphinx, etc.) or technologies that heavily depend upon search (e.g. NoSQL databases, Nutch, Apache Hadoop). We are particularly interested in presentations on search algorithms, machine learning, real-world implementation/deployment stories and explorations of the future of search.
Talks should be 30-60 minutes in length, including time for Q&A.
You can submit your talks to us here:

Cheers, LH on behalf of the Open Source Search Dev Room Program Committee*
