Second International Workshop on Supporting Search and Sensemaking for Electronically Stored Information in Discovery Proceedings

Wednesday June 25, 2008 - University College London, U.K.



Update!


Registration deadline 20th June

Full agenda now available + papers, bios and supplemental reading here

Overview
In 2007, participants from five continents gathered for the first DESI Workshop at the ICAIL 2007 conference in California. The workshop  drew people together from mutiple areas with an interest in considering the challenges presented by e-discovery, with a focus on dealing with large collections of electronically stored information (ESI) during litigations and regulatory investigations.    

This year, the second DESI workshop will be held at University College London in the UK, hosted by UCL Interaction Centre.  The aim will be to bring together legal practitioners, service providers and researchers to develop the research agenda further, to elaborate a European perspective on these issues, and to consider how developments in areas such as Information Retrieval, Artificial Intelligence and Human Computer Interaction might be brought to bear on key problems.

The workshop  coordinates with the International Conference on Digital Evidence on 26th-27th June at Vintners Hall in London.

Here you can submit papers and find additional information (including dissemination after the event).

We are inviting the submission of short position papers and papers reporting original research (for the call for papers please see the paper submission section). To encourage delegates to contribute position papers (at least), registration is limited to those submitting papers until 10th May.  

For additional background (with particular reference to work by The Sedona Conference
® and the legal track of the Text Retrieval Conference (TREC)) please see the DESI II background paper.
